Season calendar

Asparagus season by country

Peru ships asparagus almost every week of the year. When the peaks actually fall, and where Mexico's window fits alongside it.

Available all year, peak February–April, September–December, from Peru and Mexico. The rest of the year is shoulder supply rather than a gap.

Peruvian asparagus is close to a year-round crop — the coastal growing regions get two harvests a year — with a clear volume peak in the second half. Mexico adds a short northern window in late winter and spring.

Asparagus is the most time-critical produce on this list that still moves by sea. It deteriorates fast and ships under tightly controlled temperature, and the mode splits by destination rather than by fruit: about 86% of what Peru sends to the United States sails, while about 71% of what it sends to Europe still flies.

Peru

September–December peak · January–August shoulder Load ports: Callao, Paita, and Pisco

Effectively year-round, with a clear volume peak from September to December. The coastal growing regions take two harvests a year, which is why the shoulder band below covers every remaining month rather than a few weeks either side of a season.
