Mexico Straws

Good afternoon to you all,

Attached are some photos that were taken today in Mexico. There are images of the 1# and 2# clamshells. The fruit on the 8-1# clamshell is ranging between 20-25. The color is good and will continue to get better over the next few weeks. Volume will continue over the next few weeks and will peak at the end of January. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Nick

Watsonville / Salinas

Reporting from the Watsonville district, temps this week are forecasted to be in the high 60's to low 70's with night time temps being in the mid to high 50's. With the night time temps being on the warmer side we are seeing more overripe and soft fruit. Our QC people are working hard to keep the bad fruit out. Last week was the start of our second crop making its push in volume. Numbers will be on the higher side for the next two to three weeks.
