Round tomato supplies remain extremely limited out of Mexico and Florida. Last Monday’s hailstorm in Mexico continues to limit crossings into Arizona; some growers are reporting up to 40% crop damage.

Rounds

• Florida
  • The Central Florida season is getting a slow start; production is sporadic

  • Some growers are reporting up to 40% crop damage
  • Growers in the Jalisco region of Southern Mexico are expected to start harvesting this weekend

Romas

• Florida
  • Supplies are tightening in South Florida; most growers will harvest second and third picks next week
  • The Central Florida season is getting underway; expect increased yields in May
• Mexico

Grape and Cherry

• Florida
  • Supplies are slowly increasing
  • Markets are starting to ease and will fall further in May

• Markets remain elevated; meaningful availability is not expected until mid-May (potentially into June)
• Order flexibility is advised
