The recent freeze in Mexico has dramatically impacted Northern Mexico’s “Sweet Corn” production. According to Mark Bacchetti of Prima Bella “The States of Sinaloa and Sonora experienced a “60 Year” weather event which dramatically affected the Sweet Corn production along with many other commodities in the region.” Supply will be light out of Nogales for the remainder of Northern Mexico’s season, which ends in early April. The freeze also affected the early spring supply out of Imperial and Coachella as well. Supply should be back to normal in the Imperial and Coachella Valleys by the end of April, just in time for the Memorial Weekend pull.

Frontera Produce, LTD, is growing bigger than ever, after joining forces with Santa Rosa Produce! The recent partnership and opening of a new Greater Cincinnati Area sales office, makes Frontera one of the largest melon growers/ suppliers in the country! President and CEO of Frontera Produce, Will Steele, is excited about the new development. He stated, “not only will the expansion better serve our existing clients by offering a year round supply of the entire melon category, but we’ll also have the capability to become a new resource for companies seeking a reliable, 365 day resource for melons.” Santa Rosa Produce farms seven-thousand acres of melons every year.
