Mexico tomato production is ramping up due to favorable weather, while Florida growers are facing near-freezing temperatures. Markon First Crop Tomatoes are available.

• Mexican cherry, grape, Roma, and vine ripe tomato production is increasing out of the Culiacan, Guaymus, and Guasave growing regions due to ideal weather

• • Quality is very good
  • Overall demand is weak
  • All sizes are available

• Florida is experiencing very cold nights (low 30s are predicted this weekend) and rain which slows plant growth and will reduce harvesting

• • Round mature green tomato quality is good, but some wind scarring is being observed
  • Roma tomato supplies are adequate; large-size crown picks are the best quality
  • Grape tomatoes volume is down slightly as some growers shift to Mexican crops
• Expect steady round, Roma, and cherry tomato markets over the next week; grape tomatoes remain a bargain
