Vancouver, British Columbia-based The Oppenheimer Group expects a great season this year for its Mexican winter pepper program, which already has begun out of Jalisco, said Aaron Quon, executive category director of greenhouse.
“We anticipate an increase in volume, predominantly with our organic pepper crops, and expect strong demand, especially throughout November and December when demand typically exceeds supply,” Quon said.
Oppy’s Sinaloa crops will start at the end of December and ramp up throughout January, while its long English cucumber production was scheduled to kick off in late November and continue to late April.
