THE DEVASTATING FREEZE IN MEXICO IS WORST FREEZE IN OVER 50 YEARS...

ALL OF OUR GROWERS HAVE INVOKED THE ACT OF GOD CLAUSE ON OUR CONTRACTS DUE TO THE
FOLLOWING

THE EXTREME FREEZING TEMPERATURES HIT A VERY BROAD
SECTION OF MAJOR GROWING REGIONS IN MEXICO, FROM
HERMOSILLO IN THE NORTH ALL THE WAY SOUTH TO LOS
MOCHIS AND EVEN SOUTH OF CULIACAN. THE EARLY
REPORTS ARE STILL COMING IN BUT MOST ARE SHOWING
LOSSES OF CROPS IN THE RANGE OF 80 TO 100%. EVEN
SHADE HOUSE PRODUCT WAS HIT BY THE EXTREMELY
COLD TEMPS. IT WILL TAKE 7-10 DAYS TO HAVE A CLEARER
PICTURE FROM GROWERS AND FIELD SUPERVISORS, BUT
THESE GROWING REGIONS HAVEN’T HAD COLD LIKE THIS
IN OVER A HALF CENTURY. THIS TIME OF YEAR, MEXICO
SUPPLIES A SIGNIFICANT PERCENT OF NORTH AMERICA’S ROW
CROP VEGETABLES SUCH AS: GREEN BEANS, EGGPLANT,
CUCUMBERS, SQUASH, PEPPERS, ASPARAGUS, AND
ROUND AND ROMA TOMATOES.
