MARKETING WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS - 1987 CROP
GENERAL COMMENTS
WEATHER, GROWING & HARVESTING CONDITIONS: Most growers in the Yakima Valley finished working their asparagus beds during the week of March 16th and hoped for an early start around April 1st«
On March 25th, the temperatures were low but ideal for field work. A warming trend was forecast for April 1st, however, freezing temperatures on April 11th and 12th caused some damage to the crop and curtailed growth. The following week the temperatures climbed to 90 degrees, which also slowed down movement of asparagus.
The week ending May 8th was cooler which resulted in more field activity. The weather continued to cool throughout the rest of May which slowed growth. A warming trend occurred during the week ending May 29th. The temperatures were in the 80s which is ideal for asparagus production.
There was a shortage of cutters and packers during the first two weeks of June which curtailed movement. Harvest was completed the first wek of July.
PRODUCTION: Harvested acreage was expected to be about 500 acres more than the 1986 crop and total approximately 31,000 acres, a 3% increase from last year.
Nationally, harvested acreage in the four-state group of California, Michigan, New Jersey and Washington, was expected to be 2.19 million cwt. (99.4 thousand metric tons), 2% more than last year.
MARKETING: First f.o.b. reports came on April 15th with 30 pound pyramid crates, 85% or more green, 7-8 or 9 inch cut, Washington Extra Fancy, large and standards selling for $22.00. The market low price of the season was $17.00-18.00 from April 30th to May 8th. From this time to the end of the season, the price rose almost $1.00 every week, On the last f.o.b., June 24th, the price was $30.00 and a few were selling at $35.00.
F.O.B. sales of Washington Consumer Packs 1/4 inch minimum, 1 1/2 inch maximum white, random length, 20 pound cartons, began on April 15th at $10.00-11.00. The market declined to the season's low of $8.00 on May 13th and closed ranging from $8.00-9.00 on June 10th.
The crop was in good condition throughout the season. The freezing and then extremely hot weather created some variation in condition but still remained good.
SHIPMENTS: In 1987, 23.32 million pounds of asparagus was shipped. This did not break the record high of 24.9 m i 1 lion pounds which was set in 1986. Domestic shipments peaked the week ending May 8th at 3.5 million pounds.
Export movement was very light throughout the season. The following countries received Washington asparagus: Canada, England, Switzerland, Italy and China. The peak for export shipments was the week ending April 24th at .5 million pounds.
678,370 - 30 pound crates made up 82% of the fresh shipments plus 148,497 - 20 pound cartons.
