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
