Florida tomato volume is falling due to recent cold weather. Demand for Mexican fruit has increased; expect prices to climb. Markon First Crop (MFC) Tomatoes are available.

Rounds

• Florida’s recent cold weather is slowing plant growth; no major damage reported on the plants, but a potential bloom drop could affect supplies in February
• Western Mexico’s moderate volume is expected to increase in late January due to favorable weather forecasts this week; current Mexican harvests are yielding high-quality fruit, with the majority of the supply consisting of large sizes (4×5 & 5×5)

• Expect higher markets over the next two weeks due to reduced Florida availability

Romas
