California yellow colossal, 50 lb sacks, ran 27% above last week's level per USDA shipping-point reports and sits 65% above the 5-year median for this date. California yellow jumbo, same district, quoted at $15.00-16.00, 50 lb sacks, per USDA shipping-point data. The colossal pack is the week's clearest repricing signal on new-crop domestic supply.
- Texas shipments fell to 23 (10,000-lb units), down 91% on the week and 88% below the 5-year median, per USDA movement reports. Texas is in season. This is not a rotation gap.
- Oregon shipments hit 1,451 (10,000-lb units), running 1,019% above the 5-year median, per USDA movement reports. Unusual volume for a district whose storage crop is typically winding down by late June.
- Idaho-Eastern Oregon yellow medium, 50 lb sacks, last quoted April 23 per USDA shipping-point reports; the storage crop is past its August-to-April window, so no fresh FOB is posting.
- Georgia yellow jumbo at mostly $23.00-24.00, 40 lb cartons, per USDA shipping-point reports. Carton pricing at the high end of the in-season domestic range.
- Washington yellow jumbo at $25.00-25.00, 40 lb cartons, per USDA shipping-point reports. Exports at 124 (10,000-lb units) ran 122% above the 5-year median, per USDA movement reports, though off 11% on the week.
- New Mexico yellow jumbo at mostly $15.00-16.00, 50 lb sacks, per USDA shipping-point reports, tracking in line with California jumbo.
Mexico led import crossings at 312 (10,000-lb units) for the week, per USDA movement reports. Canada border crossings rose 226% on the week to 24 (10,000-lb units), 70% above the 5-year median.
Data note: 32 series have not updated in over two weeks, including Arizona and Imperial Valley feeds. Arizona is currently an in-season domestic origin. Those figures should be treated as stale until the feeds refresh.
