Weather Update
The west will see a welcome drying period following the series of potent storm
systems. Heavy rains throughout the region will end today followed by gradual
warming into next week. The southwestern desert (Yuma) region will see very cold
morning temperatures behind these systems with widespread lettuce ice forecast
into Friday. High pressure builds over Central Mexico with gradual warming into
the weekend. Forecasts bring rain to the region early next week as tropical
moisture is pulled into the region. High pressure keeps the northern regions
dry into early next week. A cooling trend will continue in Florida as a series of
fronts bring scattered showers into the region. An increase in shower activity is
expected early next week.
Market Alerts
Apples: Washington 100-size and smaller Granny-smith are very short due
to larger sizing on their C.A. fruit. Many suppliers are subbing up in size
and grade to cover granny-smith orders and it has many of them limited on
anything smaller than a 72. Expect these trends to continue through the
season. Small golden delicious are also limited.
Berries (Blackberries): Supply is very limited and expected to remain short
for another 3-4 weeks.
Berries (Strawberries): Supply remains limited in both California and Florida.
Broccoli: Supplies are extremely limited due rain in Santa Maria as well as
supply gaps in Yuma and Mexico.

Market Alerts
(continued)
Cauliflower: The quality out of
Santa Maria is fair at best with
bruising being quoted before
shipping due to the previous
rain.
Cilantro: The rain in the Oxnard/
Santa Maria growing region has
affected quality of cilantro. This
will last well into next week.
Citrus (Oranges): California’s
Navel orange harvest has began
again, but supplies will remain
very tight into next week until
shippers can regain their normal
inventory.
Onions: Onion markets have
been active due to severe
Weather bring supplies to a stop
the last two weeks.
Pears: Many shippers have
finished packing Bartletts and
will be finished shipping them
between mid February and early
March. Losing Bartletts will definitely put upward pressure on
the D’anjou market!
Squash (Western): Yellow and
green squash are in very limited
supply coming from Mexico and
crossing in Nogales. Market has
spiked and will continue to be
short for the near future.

Asparagus
Apples
Washington - Red delicious are mostly steady on all sizes
and most shippers continue to flex for volume of 88s and
larger. Reds are peaking on extra-fancy 64-88s and they
have good volume. Golden delicious are steady on all sizes
and continue to peak on 72/80/88s. Small Goldens remain
very short with very few 125s and smaller. Granny-smith are
slightly lower on the larger sizes and slightly higher on the
smaller sizes. The fruit is still peaking on 72/80/88’s. Granny
100s and smaller are exceptionally short. Most suppliers are
still subbing up in grade and size to cover orders of 100s
and smaller. The Gala market is steady on all sizes. Galas
are still peaking on 80/88/100/72s and they have good
volume in the larger sizes. Fuji’s are steady to slightly higher
on all sizes and are still peaking on 72/80/88s. Honeycrisp
are steady to slightly higher due to light supplies especially
in the lower grades. They are still peaking on 80/88/100s.
The quality for red delicious, golden delicious, granny-smith,
Galas, Fujis, and Honey Crisp has been good. Braeburns,
Jonagolds, Red Romes, Cameos, and the other varietals are
available but in limited numbers.
Idaho - Red delicious, Red Romes, and Pink Lady’s are the
bulk of the current production and are all fairly steady to
slightly higher but they are starting to pack better numbers
again. Most varieties are still peaking on 64-100s. The
quality has been good.
Michigan - McIntosh and Empires are steady but strong
due to lighter storage supplies. Golden delicious,
Jonathans, red Romes, Galas, red delicious, and Fujis are
all fairly steady. Galas, Red Romes, and Jonathans are still
peaking on the smaller sizes while the Golden delicious,
Red delicious, Fujis, and McIntosh are peaking on the
medium sizes. The quality has been good.
New York - Empires and McIntosh are steady but strong
to light supplies and strong demand. Red delicious, Galas,
Fujis, and Red Romes are all steady. The sizing has been
more medium recently. The quality has been good.
www.proactusa.com
The Asparagus Market has slowed down with less demand
in the market. Peruvian Summertime Asparagus is just about
finished with Mexican (Caborca) product in the market. We
should see better volumes from Mexico in the next week.
Mexico’s Caborca growing region experienced some
rain and colder weather over the weekend, but with
more acreage opening up, volumes were not affected.
The market should continue to slowly decrease with the
increase acreage in production.
Avocado (Mexican)
Shipments from Mexico this week are expected to be
remain around 44 million pounds and drop of next week to
around 35 million as the main pull for Super Bowl begins
to drop off in demand. Shipments will continues to tapper
downward into early February. Overall demand leading up
to he Super Bowl will likely be higher than available supply.
Many retailers have switch for 48ct to 60ct and driving 60ct
price upward and causing the 48ct price to soften and ease
off in price. The overall size curve is now skewing toward
the very larger 32ct/36ct with less of the smaller fruit and
still see heaver percentage of #2 fruit.
Bell Peppers (Eastern)
Green Bell Pepper market is still weak. Good supplies from
Florida and pressure from Mexico are keeping the market
at very reasonable levels. Quality so far has been good,
with the storms this past weekend there could be some
bruising issues but we don’t believe any long term damage
was done.
Bell Peppers (Western)
Excellent Quality, Condition and supply. Supply exceeds
demand keeping market on Green Bells low and very
reasonable. Mostly offering number one grade peaking on
large, extra large and jumbo. Colored bells have started
with strong supply on both blocky and elongated varieties.
Good quality and condition. Supply exceeds demand
keeping Market on Colored bells modest. Shipping from
Mexico crossing in Nogales.

Jan 25, 2017Updates
Berries (Blackberries)
Supply is limited and demand is very good. Central Mexico
is the main production region for the winter months and
is beginning their seasonal decline. Weather has also
slowed production and fruit maturation over recent weeks.
Decreased volume is industry wide and we will remain in
light supplies for another 3-4 weeks.
Berries (Blueberries)
Supplies are steady now but there has been a slight
decrease in availability as Southern Chile comes off of
peak production and Peru’s seasonal production is on the
decline going forward. Mexican production is expected to
remain fairly steady for the next several weeks. Quality has
been good overall but there have been minor instances of
quality issues in older lots from Chile and Peru.
Berries (Raspberries)
Raspberry production has slowed and supply has begun
to decrease from Mexico and Southern California. These
crops have now passed peak production for the season
and we will be heading into very light availability for the
next several weeks. We are about 4-6 weeks out before
we see the crop start to come back with better volumes.
Berries (Strawberries)
Strawberries are limited in
California following numerous
weather systems and several
inches of rain over the past week.
While wet weather has cleared,
temperatures remain fairly cool.
The next 7-10 days are forecasted
to be clear and slightly warmer
heading into the weekend. With
each day we get further past
the rain, quality should begin to
improve. Much fruit has been
stripped to clear out damaged
and sub par quality berries.
Bruising, water damage, white

shoulders are still showing up in
the packs. Florida strawberries
are limited and with a cooling
trend in the forecast, it is possible
we will see volume continue to
decrease over the coming week.
There’s a chance of rain in the
Water Damaged
Berries in Oxnard
coming weekend which could disrupt
production as well. Mexican strawberry production is
showing an increase in volume over recent weeks and is
expected to continue to ramp up toward seasonal peak in
the coming weeks.
Broccoli
Broccoli supplies are extremely limited from all growing
regions. Processors are looking for acreage to meet
demand. This is causing the market to continue to rise to
higher levels. The long term outlook is that we are 2 weeks
away from better volume. Quality is still nice out of Yuma
and Mexico but fair at best due to the rain in Santa Maria.
The market continues to trend higher. Also suppliers will be
holding customers to their respective averages.
Brussels Sprouts
The current supply situation from Mexico is really plentiful.
All sizes are available. Quality is really good with minimal
complaints. An aggressive market is present with several
shippers. This will trend well into next week.
Carrots
Carrot supplies remain good and look continue so, with
jumbo, cello and value added product. Cooler weather is
slowing size growth slightly and we are seeing market price
on the jumbo size carrots firming up.
Bruising and White
Shoulders in Oxnard
Culled Fruit in Oxnard
Cauliflower
The cauliflower market is two tiered depending on growing
region. Yuma is commanding a price premium versus Santa
Maria due to fair quality out of that growing region. Supplies
in Yuma vary from shipper to shipper. Quality out of Yuma
is really good with minimal arrival issues. We will see this
trend into the next week.

Celery
Citrus (Lemons)
There has been plenty of rain in southern California. With
this being said , the market on this commodity has remained
firm. There is a pricing gap amongst multiple shippers by
a few dollars. Good quality continues out of Yuma and
Oxnard /Santa Maria. Pricing is a bit higher for some in the
desert. Currently all sizes are available for shipping. This
rain is supposed to occur on Tuesday, then we should be
dry for about a week.
Chili Peppers
Pablano - Excellent size and Quality and color will continue
with steady to heavier supply.
Tomatillo - Heavy supply and excellent quality on fresh
crop, both peeled and husked. Sizing is good. Color and
condition will continue to be great.
Jalapeño- Good quality on new crop pepper, Excellent Size
color and condition with huge supplies. Many number 2s
are being shipped.
Anaheim - Good quality and condition and size are
expected to continue as supply improves.
Cilantro
The previous rains in the Oxnard and Santa Maria
growing region have really affected quality. Supplies have
decreased from that area and Yuma/Mexico does not have
enough acreage to cover demand. The quality from Yuma
& Mexico is far superior. Quality issues such as yellowing /
Black leaves, to brow discoloration have been showing up
on arrival. The market hasn’t reacted yet but look for it to
trend higher moving into next week.
www.proactusa.com
Over all supplies have been impacted by rains in the
Central Valley and the small amounts that they have
been bring to market. The desert crop is 90% harvested
and with size growth, larger sizes predominate peaking
115s/95s/140s making 165s and 200s short.
Citrus (Limes)
The lime market is slightly lower on all sizes. The lower
market is due to an overall increase in volume. The old
crop harvest is in the larger size profile 110/150’s while the
new crop is 230/250’s. We are experiencing a little bit of
a short supply on 175’s and 200’s which looks to be the
case for the next week or so. The quality is good with very
few problems being reported. No more adverse weather is
being reported for the near future so we should experience
normal market fluctuations.
Citrus (Oranges)
Rains in the main growing area for California Navels are
over and we now have clear weather forecasted through
next week. New limited harvest will begin today, but groves
are very wet and harvest will be slow. Shipping will begin
again on Thursday for most shippers, and not until Monday
for a few. It will take harvest into next week for shippers
inventories to come back up to normal. Expect supplies to
remain very tight into next week.
Cucumbers (Eastern)
The cucumber market is steady. Imports from Honduras
have picked up this month replacing the volume from
Florida. Demand has been steady and pressure from
Mexican imports has not been as great. Quality has been
good with most shippers keeping product fresh. Rough
seas from the recent storms could slow shipments through
the end of this week.

Cucumbers (Western)
Grapes (Red)
Good supply on cucumber coming out Mexico, Excellent
color, quality and condition on all grades sizes and pack
styles. Supply will continue with slightly less volume for the
next week. Euro cucumber is also available in very limited
supply, both #1and #2 both single layer and bushel boxes.
Eggplant (Eastern)
Eggplant Market is steady. Supply has decreased but there
is enough to meet demand at this time. Quality has been
spotty. Florida has had good weather for the most part but it
is windy this time of year and there has been some scaring
and bruising in some areas. There were some server storms
through the Southeast this weekend and it is too soon tell
how much, if any, was done. We feel like there will be some
wind damage to eggplant over the next month.
Eggplant (Western)
Good Quality and size are currently being shipped from
Nogales, mostly larger sizes are available in limited volume.
Many number 2s being shipped. Some lots showing internal
discoloration.
Green Onions
We are finally in some sense of normalcy with supplies
and labor. The market has also adjusted enough to be
competitive again. There are plenty of supplies of iced
green onions and on the iceless front better supplies arrive
daily. Quality has been good with little arrival issues. Some
sporadic arrivals of browning of the tops have been reported.
Kale
Grapes (Green)
Green grape supplies are improving on both coasts. Unlike
the wave red grapes, green grape supplies have been
consistent and gradually improving. Market prices have
been steady with a slight decrease this week as more
product arrives. We now have more loading options on the
west coast and a wide selection of shippers on the east.
All size ranges are available with the heaviest volumes
being large and extra large. Quality has improved with the
new arrivals as well; we are getting fewer reports of amber
berries. Supplies are expected to remain consistent moving
forward. Promotional opportunities are available.
www.proactusa.com
Red grapes are in a supply exceeds demand situation on
both east and west coasts. Looking at the market trends year
over year, it’s amazing to see what a difference a season can
make. Last year at this time, supplies were extremely limited
and markets were very active. This year, it seems to be the
complete opposite. Shippers have more fruit than orders
and market prices have been declining rapidly. This week,
however, it seems the steep market drops have tapered
off. Prices have leveled out and are expected to remain
steady moving forward. Quality overall on the red grapes
has been strong. All sizes are readily available. Supplies are
expected to remain consistent moving forward. Volume and
promotional opportunities are available.
Despite the rain in Oxnard, supplies remain steady. The
market is unchanged as supplies are abundant. Quality
has been excellent with full carton, little dehydration, and
minimal yellowing.
Lettuce Iceberg
The lettuce market has gained a little strength in the
marketplace. Demand continues overall to be down,
however. There is a gap in the market and quality is all over
the board. Issues being reported include misshapen heads,
pink ribbing, rusting, browning, mechanical damage and
some mildew. The desert did have rain this past week, but
no rain is expected for the rest of this week. Temperatures
are expected to be in the mid 60s to mid 40s throughout
the week. The quality is reported to be fair. Weights on
palletized have has been reported to be 41 -45 pounds.

Onions
Lettuce Leaf
This market is up on all leaf items. Rain as well as cool
weather has created multiple defects on all leaf items. On
romaine, in particular, some blister and peel has been seen,
along with twisting, mechanical damage and pink ribbing.
These defects are industry wide. On green and red leaf
as well as butter, the previous mentioned defects have
also been seen, not to the extent of romaine however. The
desert is expected to have no more rain for the week, but
temperatures will be mild, never eclipsing seventy degrees.
The quality looks to be only fair for the entire week on all
leaf items.
Melon (Cantaloupe)
Demand is good on all sizes. Supplies are steady to
increasing. 12’s continue to get increased demand due to
substitution for 15ct. The 15ct are becoming more available.
18’s continue to be extremely short in supply. The market is
steady to lower across the board. The quality is excellent
right now and for the long term outlook too. Weather has
been ideal in the growing regions .
Melon (Honeydew)
Honeydew supplies are leveling out and starting to
increase slowly. Mexico is exporting very nice looking
honeydews up to us and their supplies are light for the next
few months. Offshore dews have excellent quality and are
peaking on large sizes such as 5’s and 6’s with 8’s being
short supplied. Offshore dew volume is returning to normal
levels. Demand is beginning to increase from the low levels
we just went through. The market is currently steady to
lower on offshore dews and Mexican dews.
Melon (Watermelon)
Northern Mexico has finished and production from Southern
Mexico is improving. Quality and condition are good with
high sugar all sizes are available in both bins and cartons .
Personal seedless is available in limited supply.
www.proactusa.com
Onion market out of all areas have been extremely active
over the last two weeks due to severe weather that brought
supplies to almost a complete stop. As most of you have
heard, a few onion storages and packing facilities collapsed
due to the combination of snow and rain in the Idaho/
Oregon areas. The long term affects of this damage on the
markets is still unknown. Only time will tell. The weather
finally cleared enough to allow shippers to slowly catch
up on orders which has stabilized the markets for now.
Transportation has also improved in both Washington
and Idaho. Quality is being reported as good. Mexico has
started crossing yellow, red and white onions with limited
but building supplies. Quality is being reported as good.
This area will not be much of a factor for about two weeks.
Pears
Washington - Large Bartlett pears are slightly lower while
the smaller sizes are slightly higher. They are still peaking
on US#1 70/80/90s and the 110s and smaller remain limited.
The storage quality has been good. D’anjou pears are also
slightly lower on the larger sizes and slightly higher on the
smaller. They are still peaking on US#1 80/90/100s while
the 110s and smaller remain extremely short. The quality has
been good. Bosc pears are also steady and are peaking on
US#1 80/90/100s. The quality has been good. Red pears
are steady to slightly higher and they are still peaking on
US#1 45/50 half cartons. The red pear availability is very
light. The red pear quality has also been good.
Chile - Chilean Bartlett pears have started coming in to LA.
and New Jersey and like Washington they are peaking on
larger fruit. This is their first week so no definitive quality
report yet but we hear it is good.
Pineapples
Supplies will begin to lighten next week for two to three
weeks due to a period of heavy rains at the end of
November of last year. This tighter supply currently looks to
be momentary tighten event.

Potatoes
Squash (Western)
The potato markets out of all areas continue with little
change on all sizes and packs. Look for this to continue into
May. Idaho has the largest supply of russet in storage out of
all the other growing areas. Quality is still being reported as
good. Transportation has improved.
Potatoes (colored)
Bakersfield, California - Red, white, and gold potatoes are
all steady on all sizes. The White market remains strong due
to light supplies. All colors continue to peak on A size and
the quality is good.
Idaho - Red and gold potatoes are steady on all sizes. The
red potato sizing is split evenly between As and Bs while the
golds are heavier to A-size. The quality is good.
Western Washington - Red and gold potatoes are steady
and continue to peak on A size. The quality has been good.
North Dakota - Red and gold potatoes are steady on all
sizes and they are still peaking on A size. The quality has
been good.
Wisconsin - Reds and golds are steady to higher on all sizes
but the market is strong due to light indigenous supplies.
Most shippers are sourcing from North Dakota or Washington
so they can finish the season, and that has pushed the
market up. The quality has ranged from fair to good.
Canada - Reds, golds, and whites are mostly steady but
some sizes are higher depending on the supplier. Some
suppliers have more sacks while others have both sacks and
cartons. The quality has been good.
Squash (Eastern)
The squash market continues to be strong on both colors.
With the cheap markets growers have experienced over
the past months many abandoned older fields. Foggy days
and high winds have decreased yields and with Mexico
experiencing production issues of their own, buyers have
little choice at the moment. The storms this past weekend
could have some adverse effect on squash, with scaring
and bruising very likely to be more prevalent over the next
week or 10 days.
www.proactusa.com
Supply on Italian and yellow squash have become very
short due to a gap in production, Quality and condition
continue to be only fair and shortage is expected to
continue for at least the next 10days to 2 weeks. Hard
Squash is also being harvested in very good supplies.
Mostly larger sizes and number one grade.
Stone Fruit
The Chilean stone fruit season is in full swing. Over the past
two weeks vessels have been arriving with good volumes of
high quality fruit. We have several loading options on both
coasts with good inventories of peaches, nectarines and
plums. Sizes on the peaches and nectarines are ranging
on the larger side (40-50’s) on tray packs and (50-60’s) on
volume fill. Plums are smaller ranging between 60-80’s on
the volume fill. Quality is being reported as excellent. Market
prices have seemed to level off and have been consistent,
but spot buy and promotional opportunities are available.
We expect supplies to remain strong through the month of
February and begin to taper off by March.
Tomatoes (Eastern)
Tomato crops continue to thrive in Florida with no slowing
to supply, leaving markets steady. Ideal growing conditions
are carrying crops longer than usual keeping markets
relatively lower than normal this time of year. As we
move into Florida’s winter season when less acreage is
planted, overall supply will begin to decrease as we get
into the month of February. Production is now focused in
South Florida, where there are rounds, romas and grapes
available daily. Demand is low allowing for a wide variety of
product and open market orders to keep product moving.
Tomatoes (Western)
In Mexico, the vine ripe and gas green winter programs
have come on to full production. Heavy volumes of
tomatoes crossing from Mexico are keeping the markets
low as Eastern supply also shows to be bountiful. Roma
cherry and grape varieties are also in great supply. With no
spikes in demand expected in the near future, with winter
storms tracking a majority of the buying markets across the
county, these markets will remain steady for the near future
until demand begins to match its supply counterpart.
