West Coast carrot supplies are tightening as harvest shifts from California’s San Joaquin Valley to the Imperial Valley, where sizing has been smaller. Limited availability is expected over the next three weeks due to reduced sizing and lower yields, and commodity pack prices have increased as a result.

California

• Supplies will remain extremely tight through March as the San Joaquin Valley season winds down
• Imperial Valley supplies are snug as the season winds down and the new season approaches
• Markon orders will be filled in full; growers are holding to six-week averages
• Expect a demand-exceeds-supply market through March; 96-hour lead times are necessary to help fill orders
• Commodity pack (jumbo carrots) substitutions are available out of Arizona and Georgia
• Expect elevated markets and limited supplies through March

Georgia

• The season is in full swing and will run through early June
• Commodity supplies are tight; quality is very good
• Expect elevated markets as this region helps fill the void from California

Arizona

• The season is underway and will run through July; quality is great
• Expect steady markets through March
