Squash Production Underway in Mexico; California Inventory May Dip
What happened
The Sykes Co. is preparing for squash production across Sonora and Sinaloa. While the Pacific coast of Mexico experienced heavy rainfall due to hurricane season, growers reported favorable field conditions with no significant disruptions to crop development so far. Harvesting of various squash types in Sonora is scheduled to begin at the end of October.

Why it matters
The domestic market is currently well supplied with winter squash from U.S. regions, but demand remains strong. The increased production from Sonora and Sinaloa, combined with current supply levels, suggests that supplies of stored squash in California might run low sooner than anticipated.
