Crop Update
Week 46
Overview
This is Freshway’s Crop Update Report for Week 46 (Nov 8th – Nov 14th, 2026). It provides an overview of exotic fruit availability and growing conditions across Ecuador, México, Guatemala, Vietnam, China and Honduras. The report covers dragon fruit (white, yellow, red), guava, lychee, rambutan and mangosteen highlighting weather impacts, supply levels, and seasonal outlooks.
White Dragon Fruit
Current Week:
Limited supplies are expected from Ecuador’s coastal growing regions during Week 46. Overall availability is anticipated to remain tight, as heavier-than-expected early rainfall continues to impact the main white dragon fruit production areas, disrupting harvesting activities and reducing overall volumes. Additionally, ongoing electricity shortages in Ecuador are further constraining production and packing operations, limiting the number of operational days per week.
Outlook:
Supply availability is expected to remain limited to fair throughout Weeks 47 and 48, with some gradual improvement anticipated as additional production becomes available. However, from mid-November thru the end of the month may continue to present supply challenges if persistent rainfall affects the main growing regions. Weather conditions associated with the prevailing Pacific Ocean climate pattern, combined with ongoing electricity constraints, could further disrupt harvesting and packing operations, keeping overall availability below normal seasonal levels.
Yellow Dragon Fruit
Current Week:
Limited availability is anticipated during Week 46 from Ecuador’s Palora growing region; however, shipments will move via sea and air freight. Weather conditions remain characterized by intermittent rainfall, with temperatures generally ranging from the low 60s to the low 70s°F. These conditions may continue to impact harvest schedules and the overall pace of production.
Outlook:
Supply volumes are expected to remain limited throughout Week 47 and 48. A significant improvement in overall availability is anticipated beginning in Week 49.
As production strengthens, we also anticipate improvements in overall fruit quality and consistency. The expected increase in exportable volume should provide sufficient availability to support regular sea freight shipments, allowing for a more consistent and reliable supply program.
Red Dragon Fruit
Current Week:
Limited supplies of red dragon fruit are expected during Week 46. Weather conditions are forecast to remain hot with scattered rainfall.
Outlook:
Limited supply is also expected for week 47 and 48.
Mexican Guava
Existing week:
Steady supplies with solid fruit quality are expected throughout Week 46. 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 consistent through Weeks 47 and 48. As the seasonal rainy pattern begins to develop, increased precipitation may become a factor influencing overall fruit quality and harvest operations.
rAMBUTAN
Current Week:
As we continue to improve our sourcing programs from Omoa, Honduras, and Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, supply availability is expected to strengthen toward Week 46. The introduction of ocean freight shipments from Honduras and overland shipments from Guatemala are supporting our supply programs, positioning us for improved volumes and greater consistency.
Outlook:
With production steadily gaining momentum in both Honduras and Guatemala, we anticipate a solid overall supply throughout Weeks 47 and 48. Consistent volumes from these key growing regions, supported by expanded logistics capabilities, should help us to maintain consisten volumes throughout the end of the season.
