Current Asparagus wholesale prices by market

What affects Asparagus prices

U.S. asparagus prices reflect a short domestic harvest, highly perishable fresh-product handling, and competition from imports, especially from Mexico and Peru. California, Michigan, and Washington are key domestic production areas, and spring temperatures, frost, rainfall, wind, and disease strongly affect spear emergence, quality, and harvest volume. Hand-harvest labor, cooling, packing, air or truck freight, fuel, and irrigation costs are especially relevant because asparagus must move quickly through the supply chain.

The main U.S. fresh asparagus harvest is generally concentrated from March through June, although regional production windows differ. Domestic supply is most prominent during spring, while imports provide much of the year-round availability outside that window. Mexican shipments are important in winter and spring, and Peruvian imports have historically been particularly important from late summer through early winter; fresh asparagus is not stored for long periods.
