Cantaloupes: Supplies on Honduras
cantaloupes have improved and Costa Rica
fruit is starting to arrive this week. Florida and
New Jersey distribution points will be receiving
the majority of the fruit arrivals and West Coast
(L.A.) will be the lighter of the two areas for
sure again this week. Cantaloupe supplies
look to continue improving over the next 7-10
days which will in turn give way to more
aggressive pricing. MARKET LOWER

Honeydews: Honeydew supplies are better
this week with the influence of Costa Rica fruit
along with the supplies already arriving from
Honduras. Supplies will keep improving into
next week and quality is very good from both
new areas. MARKET LOWER
