Sugraone, Sweet Globe, Timpson (Mexico)
OUR OUTLOOK
Green seedless supplies have tightened in recent days, with fertility on Sugraones light. Mexico is also battling extreme heat right now which could have packout consequences. Demand/movement has also been strong, as many retailer ads have driven better weekly movement season to date. Proprietary-type green seedless will dominate the market over the last few weeks of this deal, with supplies continuing to tighten and markets strengthening.

OUR OUTLOOK
Mexican Flames today are still readily available, but all indications are that this will change quickly. Proprietary type varieties such as Sweet Celebration will hit peak production soon, but as with the greens, overall daily arrivals are already on the decline.
