Cantaloupes: Supplies on Honduras and
Costa Rica cantaloupes are very good this
week. Sizing is to the large side (9/12ct)* for
both growing areas, and will continue that way
for about 10-14 days. Florida and New Jersey
distribution points will continue receiving the
majority of the fruit arrivals between them and
the West Coast (L.A.). MARKET LOWER

Honeydews: Similar to that of Cantaloupes,
Honeydew availability is very good and large
improvements over previous weeks. Fruit from
both Honduras and Costa Rica is available and
quality is very good. There is a wide range of
sizing available and there are deals available
on the smaller fruit. MARKET LOWER
