OUR OUTLOOK
Quality and condition of arrivals has been good on the storage fruit. The market will continue to trend higher, particularly on XL/jumbo sizes, as supply of strong product tightens. The program will continue for a couple of more weeks, with the goal to continue seamlessly into the beginning of the Mexican program, which we hope to start shipping by around May 10th.

OUR OUTLOOK
Loadings in Chile are pretty much finished, with the majority of volume either here now or arriving within the next week. In general, quality and condition has been good. Supply of strong condition, proprietary reds should tighten in early May, but we have very good late growers with strong, late season reds, in particular Allison variety. The Mexico start should be sometime around May 17th.
