UPDATE: TOMATOES

July 21, 2022

Tomato markets are slightly higher due to strong demand. Markon First Crop Tomatoes are available.

  • California has an adequate supply of mature green and Roma tomatoes shipping from the Central Valley region; however, small sizes are limited
    • Some round tomato growers will begin harvesting in the Gilroy/Hollister area next week
    • Roma tomato quality is very good
  • East Coast (Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia) production of round, Roma, and grape tomatoes is light due to previous rain/weather
    • Quality is average
    • 6×6 and 6×7 round tomatoes are limited
    • Cherry tomatoes are extremely tight
    • Michigan production is expected to start at the beginning of August
  • Mexican Roma and round tomato harvesting has decreased for summer
    • The Baja Peninsula (passing through San Diego, California) will ship lower volume of grape/cherry tomatoes over the next two weeks as growers transition to new fields
    • Eastern Mexico (crossing in McAllen, Texas) is providing smaller quantities; however, quality has been hit or miss
  • Prices are expected to increase over the next two weeks
