SLOW-STARTING SONORAN GRAPE DEAL ABOUT TO POP

Cold weather in Mexico’s Sonoran Desert has resulted in a very slow start for its fresh table grape deal, but supplies are expected to pick up significantly over the next several weeks.

“It’s been incredibly cold all year,” said Carlos Bon, vice president of sales for Divine Flavor, headquartered in Nogales, AZ. “We knew it was going to be a late season, but we are continually guessing wrong every day.”
