Tomato volume will shift from Mexico to Florida during the month of April. Markon First Crop Tomatoes are available.

• Mexico production is holding steady with a good mix of older winter and new spring crops

• • Round tomato quality is solid, with all sizes available
  • Roma quality is improving with new fields in Obregon and Sonora; jumbo sizes dominate supplies
  • Grape and cherry tomatoes will remain snug for the next two weeks

• Florida growers have started their transition to the Ruskin/Palmetto region; overall volume is light

• • Quality is good, especially for mature green and Roma crown picks
  • Medium-size Romas are most abundant
  • Grape and cherry tomato quality has improved as growers moved away from older plants
• The California summer season, which typically begins mid-June, will continue to be challenged by drought concerns this year; lower overall growing acreage, sizing concerns, and fruit quality are potential issues that may arise during the season
• Expect markets to remain relatively steady this week
