Cantaloupe and Honeydews

Mon, August 19th, 2024

Dear Ole Tyme Produce Customers:

UPDATE: CA Melon shippers are still experiencing bloom drop and this is impacting the overall availability/sizing of the fruit. Honeydews are heavily impacted.

Expectations:

Cantaloupe demand has increased due to retail ads
Honeydew supplies will remain tight due to the bloom drop.
- There is a gap on Honeydew 8s
- Loading dates may change to accommodate availability
Suppliers may need to sub into outside labels and to fulfill orders.
Suppliers will hold to 6-week averages and contract commitments
Fall Melon contracts are available in CMS.

If you have any additional questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative or our Customer Service team.

Thank you,

Ole Tyme Produce
