Figs have spent a month in the No. 1 spot on Produce Market Guide, but yellow plums gave them a run for their money last week, climbing two spots from the week before to land at No. 2.

Figs, okra and cucumbers retained their grip on the top three spots on Produce Market Guide last week.

Western Fresh Marketing will sell in excess of 5 million pounds of figs this year, said George Kragie, president of the Madera-based company.

Growers for Stellar Distributing Inc., Madera, Calif., have added about 600 acres of figs this year, according to Kurt Cappelluti, sales manager.

California fresh figs started later and light volume traded at historically high prices this spring. However, marketers predicted good quality and more normal supply levels are anticipated beginning in late July.
