Volumes of Mexican colored bell peppers to increase in January
The Mexican bell pepper season kicked off on time this year. Felix Peralta, Director of Integrated Logistics at SunFed shares: “Our bell peppers are grown in Sinaloa, in the Culiacan area, and the harvest started on December 15th, which is about the usual timing for the season to start.” SunFed grows red, yellow and orange bell peppers.
Good crop quality with volumes ramping up
During the growing season, the bell pepper crop experienced a few weather events that affected the early yields. Peralta shares: “During the summer, we saw some minor issues related to warm weather, combined with a lack of rain. Fortunately, this will only affect the first picks and in general terms the crop quality is good.”
