Watermelon

Production level in from Central FL have peaked the first and second week of May. Some heavy rains have slowed down harvest slightly. The North Florida crop maturity has been accelerating over the last couple weeks. There stands a chance for those farms to start earlier than expected and offer meaningful availability for Memorial Day. Availability from Nogales should continue to remain very good for another week, if not longer. The start of the Texas production over the last week has helped keep supply conditions very favorable for Western U.S. markets.
