As the growing regions transition, weather continues to play a major role in shaping supply and quality this fall.
With California winding down and Yuma, Arizona starting up, the Mexican vegetable season is also beginning — let’s see how this change affects us.
Recent storms and hurricanes across Mexico have caused significant rain and wind damage, impacting early plantings and slowing down harvests.
“We’re watching things closely because hurricanes bring both rain and wind, and that can affect flowering and yields — especially for crops like zucchini,”
says Kirk Coolen of City Wide Produce.
The result?
Dynamic transitions between growing regions
Tighter availability and lighter volumes
Fluctuating pricing expected to continue in the short term
