Asparagus price chart, 1-year history
Asparagus prices and seasonality
US asparagus production is concentrated in California, Washington, Michigan, and several other states, with the main domestic harvest generally occurring in spring and early summer. During much of the rest of the year, US terminal markets depend more on imports, especially from Mexico and Peru. Temperature, frost, rainfall, labor availability, harvest timing, and competing imported volume all influence wholesale supply conditions. Reported figures are wholesale terminal-market prices, not retail prices charged in grocery stores.
