Applewood Fresh Growers LLC has announced its expansion in the asparagus market with addition of fresh Michigan asparagus

 

Rising awareness about the health benefits of asparagus among the consumer becuase it is rich in folate, fiber, and vitamin K is driving the growth of the asparagus market. Moreover, the growing launch of variety in the asparagus product by the key player is also expected to augment the growth of the market. For instance, in January 2019, Mexican asparagus producer Desert Farms has launched a new line of purple asparagus following successful trials. Furthermore, increasing demand for organic asparagus owing to shifting consumer preferences for organic food is expected to foster market growth in the next few years. For instance, in June 2019, Organto Foods Inc., an integrated provider of value-added organic vegetables and fruits announced that it has started expanding the distribution of organic asparagus to European markets, leveraging its year-round supply chain that has been developed and refined over the past number of months. Furthermore, the growing year-round production of asparagus is expected to augment market growth over the forecast period.

In September 2017, Desert Farms has announced that it will launch an organic green asparagus product for the upcoming season. The Californian/Mexican based asparagus grower will grow the new product line alongside their existing operations in the Sonora region in Mexico and the harvest is expected to last between January and April 2018

In April 2019, Applewood Fresh Growers LLC has announced its expansion to a company with launch of fresh Michigan asparagus

North America is expected to lead the global asparagus market and this is accredited to the growing partnerships between major producers in the market. For instance, in April 2019, Applewood Fresh Growers LLC partnered with New Era’s American Asparagus to offer fresh Michigan asparagus in addition to its apples. Michigan is now the largest asparagus-growing region in the United States.
