Tomato supplies are extremely tight due to recent cold, rainy weather in Florida and Mexico. Markets are elevated. Markon First Crop (MFC) Tomatoes are available.

• Florida’s consistently poor weather has decreased supplies of round, Roma, cherry, and grape tomatoes
  • This past weekend’s low evening temperatures slowed plant growth and fruit yields
  • Small round tomatoes (6x7s) are limited
  • Expect extremely low volume for the month of February due to bloom drops and fewer acres planted
• Mexican tomato production was hampered by rain in Sinaloa this week, further tightening stocks
  • Demand for Mexican fruit has increased due to poor conditions on the East Coast
  • New crop Culiacan fruit quality is good
  • Improved round and Roma volume is expected in early February
• Grape and cherry varieties are extremely scarce; prices are elevated
• Expect persistently high prices over the next week
