Crop Update
Week 26
Overview
This is Freshway’s Crop Update Report for Week 26 (Jun 22 – Jun 28 , 2026). It provides an overview of exotic fruit availability and growing conditions across Ecuador, México, Guatemala, Vietnam and Honduras. The report covers dragon fruit (white, yellow, red), guava, lychee and rambutan highlighting weather impacts, supply levels, and seasonal outlooks.
White Dragon Fruit
Current Week:
Steady volumes will be available during Week 26 from Ecuador’s coastal growing regions. Nevertheless, recent rainfall has created some quality concerns that may affect pack-out rates and limit export volumes in the coming weeks.
Outlook:
Supply is expected to remain robust through Weeks 27 and 28. Our packing team will continue to closely manage any quality concerns to ensure consistent order fulfillment. Weather conditions are anticipated to remain favorable, with temperatures ranging from 77°F to 86°F, supporting steady production and harvest activities.
Yellow Dragon Fruit
Current Week:
Fair supply is expected to continue in Week 26 across the Palora region. Weather conditions continue to be marked by intermittent showers, with temperatures generally ranging fromthe low 60s to low 70s °F, which may further influence harvest progression.
Outlook:
Fruit availability is expected to show higher volumes for week 27.
Red Dragon Fruit
Current Week:
Limited supply is anticipated for Week 26 on red dragon fruit. Weather forecasts indicate hot and dry conditions.
Outlook:
Very limited supply is expected for week 27, however there is a volume spike expected for week 27.
Mexican Guava
Existing week:
Strong supplies with excellent fruit quality are expected throughout Week 26. Weather conditions across the key growing regions of Michoacán, Mexico, remain highly favorable, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to mid-70s °F and only a low probability of rainfall during the week.
Outlook:
Volume availability is expected to remain steady through Weeks 27 and 28. As the seasonal rainy pattern begins to develop toward the end of June, increased precipitation may become a factor influencing overall fruit quality and harvest operations. We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and provide updates as the season progresses.
lychee
Current Week:
Heavy rainfall across Southeast Mexico during the past week has significantly impacted lychee production and harvesting activities. As a result, fruit availability from this region is expected to remain reduced throughout Week 26 and potentially for the following several weeks.
To help mitigate these supply challenges, we have continued to expand our sourcing efforts into multiple production areas that experienced minimal impact from recent weather events. These diversified sourcing initiatives are expected to support a continued flow of fresh lychee and help maintain market availability over the next two weeks.
Outlook:
To proactively address the anticipated supply shortfall and ensure uninterrupted service to our customers, we have successfully secured a comprehensive lychee import program from China. This strategic program is expected to provide a consistent supply of high-quality fruit from late July through early September, helping bridge the seasonal transition and supplement reduced domestic availability.
rAMBUTAN
Current Week:
The rambutan season has officially begun in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas and from Guatemala as well. Fruit quality is expected to be solid and harvest volumes are projected to increase steadily over the coming weeks as the season gains momentum.
Outlook:
The Guatemalan and Mexican rambutan season are seeing solid quality and volumes are expected to remain strong for weeks 26 and 27. With production ramping up in both Mexico and Guatemala, overall market availability is anticipated to improve, supporting a consistent supply of fresh, high-quality rambutan as the season progresses.
