Steady

The cucumber market is currently active but facing supply challenges. Georgia's season has ended, and production in North Carolina and Kentucky is low due to rain and poor quality. Mexico is also experiencing limited volume with inconsistent quality due to rain. Some relief is expected in about 10 days when Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan begin production.

Demand

High

Supply levels for all leafy commodities remain stable and sufficient to meet demand. However, the persistence of recent above-average temperatures has resulted in some crops exhibiting signs of tip and fringe burn. Quality control measures are being meticulously implemented at both the field and processing levels to ensure optimal shelf life for processed products.

Green bell pepper supplies remain tight across the market. Georgia's season is ending a week early, leaving mostly off-grade products available. North and South Carolina have limited supply, primarily larger sizes. Mexico is transitioning growing regions, leading to low volumes with moderate quality. California has product, but not enough to offset shortages on the East Coast. Relief is expected in two weeks when Kentucky begins harvesting, followed by New Jersey.

Tomato prices remain low due to an oversupply in the market. California and Mexico are delivering high volumes of quality product, while Tennessee is set to begin shipments in two weeks. This will further increase supply in an already saturated market.
