Strawberries
Strawberries are very short out of Mexico and the quality is only fair at best. This should improve in the next few weeks. Production has started in Florida but volumes are very small. We expect volumes to increase by the first week of December.
Raspberries
We are seeing a good supply of fruit from Mexico and the quality is very good.
Blackberries
The market is steady and the quality remains very nice out of Mexico.
Blueberries
Blueberries are very short this week with our first vessel due to arrive next week from Chile. Prices will be very high to start but should come off in a few weeks. | 2 | www.goproduce.com

are easing and the markets are expected to remain stable for the month. Expect to see higher prices in December due to high demand. This should hold true for February as well.
Mangoes
Sizing out of Brazil is increasing with peak sizing on 9 count Tommy Atkins Mangoes, followed by 10’s and 8’s. Peru is now starting to get ready to release some of their volume so look for markets to drop should these two markets collide with any significant volume. We can also expect volume from Ecuador to start being significant by the middle of November with peak supply arriving between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Brazil Ataulfo are now back in the market and prices look to be dropping as markets are well supplied.

Avocados
The Avocado market is fairly stable on all sizes. All of our sizes are fresh and well priced. Try out our ripe Avocados; regular stock 16s, 48s; custom orders in any other sizes.
Cantaloupes & Honeydews
Prices are extremely high on Cantaloupes and will remain this way until after US Thanksgiving. We are transitioning to Guatemalan melons, with our first container of Cantaloupes arriving this week.
Kiwi
We will be in a gap on Gold fruit for another 2 weeks until Italy product becomes available. No changes on green with a steady supply.
