Quality: Conventional and organic fruit quality is good.
Volume: Production has now entered in a post-peak phase, and estimates will continue to steadily drop week over week until a much more significant drop happens in towards late November. This week’s drops were due to the colder weather and the change in the general production curve as we enter the late Fall season.
Pack Counts: Conventional fall crop 16-26. Organic fall crop, 18-26.
Quality: Conventional and organic quality is good with nice sheen, small-to-medium size, strong red color, and good flavor.

We have finally reached the end of our PNW blueberry supply gap and are expecting steady and regular imports of our blues from Peru, Chile, and Mexico for both organic and conventional blues; though, there may be minor gaps depending on how quickly shipments are received at the docks. Peruvian and Chilean imports’ quality look great and have good size and taste. We are expecting volume to increase quickly and steadily starting next week. Mexico blues are looking fair with some issues of shriveling, red berries, and some leaky packs.
