MEXICO, HONDURAS, & FLORIDA - The cucumber market remains elevated, with short supply and strong demand continuing to drive pricing higher across domestic and offshore regions, according to Markon’s industry report for the week of March 29, 2026, and The Source report for the week of March 25, 2026. Limited availability from Mexico and Honduras, combined with delayed Florida production, has pushed prices to historically high levels.

According to The Source, overall supply is extremely short, with demand far exceeding availability, and volumes from Mexico and Honduras remaining light. Markon similarly notes that strong demand is keeping markets elevated, with Mexican and offshore supplies limited.

Mexican and offshore cucumbers are both seeing constrained availability, with MFC and ESS cucumbers currently in the market but in limited volume. Only modest near-term relief is expected from Sonora, leaving buyers competing for tight supplies.

Relief may begin to emerge as Florida’s spring crop comes online. Markon indicates the delayed Florida season is expected to begin in early April, while The Source points to mid-April as the timeframe for more meaningful volume increases. This transition is expected to provide the first notable easing of supply pressure.

Overall, the cucumber market remains tight, with strong demand and limited supply continuing to support elevated pricing. The timing and strength of Florida production will be key in determining when the market begins to stabilize.

ANUK will monitor how supply conditions and seasonal transitions impact markets moving forward.
