El sector esparraguero reclama que la agroindustria pague entre 2,80 y 2,90 €/kg Tensión en el sector del espárrago de Navarra por bajada de precios por FreshPlaza y Diario de Navarra
El sector esparraguero reclama que la agroindustria pague entre 2,80 y 2,90 €/kg
La asociación ALINAR, representante de las industrias agroalimentarias de Navarra, La Rioja y Aragón, subraya la importancia de sostener la producción del espárrago para asegurar su atractivo entre los agricultores. A pesar de contar con un excedente de producto, ALINAR reafirma su compromiso de mantener una estrategia de apoyo a la calidad y viabilidad a largo plazo del cultivo de espárrago, aunque aclara que no tiene capacidad para negociar precios directamente.
El impacto de la reducción de precios tiene una fuete repercusión para los agricultores, especialmente en un contexto de incremento de los costos de producción. La preocupación se extiende también a los más de 1.300 temporeros desplazados desde Andalucía, pues la rentabilidad de su trabajo podría verse comprometida y eso dificultaría la contratación de mano de obra local.
Marcelino Etayo, presidente de la IGP Espárrago de Navarra y agricultor, califica la situación actual como inviable, y enfatiza la necesidad de mantener precios justos para asegurar la rentabilidad de las producciones. El sindicato UAGN resalta el valor social y económico del espárrago, que no solo genera empleo, sino que también contribuye a mantener la población en zonas rurales. La organización insta al Gobierno de Navarra a garantizar la continuidad del cultivo mediante mayor inversión en promoción, investigación, control de importaciones y aplicación efectiva de la Ley de la Cadena Alimentaria.

USMCA Seasonal Perishable Products Weekly Update: Asparagus growers continue their transition from Caborca to the Obregon, Constitution regions by FreshPlaza
USMCA Seasonal Perishable Products Weekly Update:
Asparagus growers continue their transition from Caborca to the Obregon, Constitution regions
Asparagus growers continue their transition from Caborca to the Obregon, Constitution regions. Demand is still light as there is adequate supply and not much retail demand this week. The ten-day weather forecast for Obregon is clear to partly cloudy skies, with an average high of 87 and a low of 64. The last F.O.B. reports for Calexico, California, and San Luis, Arizona, crossings are expected this week. The first F.O.B. report for Mexico crossings through Arizona/California/Texas will begin around April 25. Movement from Mexico crossings through Calexico, California, and Arizona is expected to decrease seasonally. Trading Fairly Slow. Prices Lower.
Avocado prices are better, and demand is good. However, heavy supplies of older fruit with high oil content continues to pressure the overall market, especially on the smaller sizes 70s and 84s. Shippers are concerned that growers are increasing harvest, lightening the upswing in demand. Movement is expected to remain about the same. Trading is fairly slow. Prices of organic 60-70s are higher due to limited supplies, conventional 32-70s are lower, others are generally unchanged.

Ontario green asparagus season to start May 5 by FreshPlaza
Ontario green asparagus season to start May 5
Out of Canam Fresh’s total supply, about 35 percent will stay in the Canadian market and will be sold to all major retailers in Ontario. “This season, we are planning on a 10 percent increase in consumption,” Bartucci shared. This increase will be driven by retail promotions as well as cost of goods. “Many fresh produce items have experienced significant price increases at retail level, but asparagus has remained relatively affordable. It will be in the realm of cauliflower, broccoli, sprouts, and green beans.” Initially, price increases caused a shock at retail. However, consumers have increasingly accepted, and the expectation is for asparagus sales to go up.
The remaining 65 percent of production will go to the United States, a large consumer of green asparagus. “Ontario has a good window of supply. While we overlap with Michigan, we start up after New Jersey and Washington.” As a result, Ontario typically sees strong interest from the U.S. during its asparagus season.
Purple asparagus
About one percent of the company’s asparagus program is made up of purple asparagus. It’s very much a specialty, high-end product that is double the price of green asparagus. “The flavor is phenomenal, and its distinct color makes purple asparagus very appealing to restaurants and hotels,” Bartucci shared. Therefore, it’s predominantly sold to foodservice. Since the diameter of purple asparagus is a bit bigger than green asparagus, it takes longer for the product to grow and mature. As a result, the season is expected to start May 12. Just like its green counterpart, harvest will finish July 20th.
