Asparagus<\/strong>
Imports from Peru through Southern California are expected to increase. Trading for jumbo sizes is fairly active, while other sizes are moderate.

Avocado<\/strong>
Movement from Mexico through Texas is expected to remain steady. Trading of 32\u201336s is slow, while other sizes are moderate. Prices for conventional 40\u201348s and 84s are slightly higher. Hass two-layer cartons are mostly US$34.25\u201335.25 for 32s, US$26.25\u201330.25 for 36\u201340s, US$26.25\u201328.25 for 48s, and US$21.25\u201323.25 for 60\u201384s.

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blueberry<\/strong>
Peruvian imports via Miami, Philadelphia, and New York are increasing. Trading is very active, with slightly lower prices. Flats of 12 one-pint cups with lids, large, are mostly US$35.99\u201340.00. Mexican supplies remain limited, and the first F.O.B. report is expected the week of November 2. Chilean imports through Philadelphia are also expected to rise, with reporting to begin the week of October 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cucumber<\/strong>
Mexican movement through Texas is slightly increasing. Prices are lower, with 1 1\/9-bushel cartons medium mostly US$11.95\u201312.95 and large US$16.00\u201318.00. Quality is generally good. Shipments through Otay Mesa, California, are decreasing, while Nogales, Arizona, is seeing seasonal increases. Georgia supplies are steady, with medium mostly US$14.35\u201316.35 and fair quality US$6.35\u20138.35.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green bell pepper<\/strong>
Movement from South Georgia is steady, with moderate trading. Jumbo and extra-large 1 1\/9-bushel cartons are mostly US$10.35\u201311.35. California volumes are decreasing seasonally, while Mexican production through Nogales is increasing, with reporting expected the week of October 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strawberry<\/strong>
California’s Oxnard and Santa Maria districts expect higher movement after weather-related harvest delays. Prices are slightly higher, with flats of eight 1-pound containers mostly US$22.00\u201324.00, and organic ranging from US$24.00\u201328.00. Mexico’s volume is rising, but not yet sufficient to establish a market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomato<\/strong>
Mexican movement through Texas is expected to increase slightly.
