Along with Caborca, there is also production underway in Obregon, Mexico. &#8220;Overall, the deal took off earlier than the last two years,&#8221; says Solf. The season could also end earlier by two weeks by April 15.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, demand for asparagus, a popular springtime vegetable, is good and should remain strong going into Easter. &#8220;The market is getting better and the Easter pull will be big this year,&#8221; says Solf. &#8220;Easter is earlier and there is enough volume in the pipeline.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The popularity of asparagus<\/strong><br \/>\nHe adds that Southern Specialties\u2013which offers asparagus presentations ranging from microwave asparagus tips to large club store packs and also includes organic product and white asparagus\u2013also hopes for continued good demand after the Easter pull. &#8220;Asparagus continues to be a &#8220;go to&#8221; vegetable for restaurants and households. With good availability, excellent nutrition profile, and a number of packaging and presentation options, we expect the category to experience continued growth,&#8221; he says, adding that asparagus was recently listed as one of the &#8220;Clean 15&#8221; vegetables by the Environmental Working Group.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"content_full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freshplaza.com\/remote\/https\/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net\/misc\/FP_com\/2024\/03\/26\/Asparagusboxesedited.jpg?preset=ContentFullSmall\" sizes=\"625px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freshplaza.com\/remote\/https\/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net\/misc\/FP_com\/2024\/03\/26\/Asparagusboxesedited.jpg?preset=ContentFullSmall 625w,https:\/\/www.freshplaza.com\/remote\/https\/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net\/misc\/FP_com\/2024\/03\/26\/Asparagusboxesedited.jpg?preset=ContentFullMedium 938w,https:\/\/www.freshplaza.com\/remote\/https\/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net\/misc\/FP_com\/2024\/03\/26\/Asparagusboxesedited.jpg?preset=ContentFullBig 1250w\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As for pricing, the increased volume at the start of the Caborca season resulted in prices that were the lowest in a long time.
