All tomato varieties are extremely limited; demand exceeds supply. Rounds tomatoes are especially scarce this week and will remain so through the next week.

Rounds

• Florida
  • There are virtually no supplies on the market
  • Some growers forecast minimal volume at the end of next week; fair quality is expected
  • Normal averages won’t be available until early May
• Mexico
  • Supply is at extremely low levels
  • The Holy Week holiday starts today and will greatly impact production
    • Mexico fully celebrates this holiday
    • Available labor will decline
  • Quality is mixed

• Summary
  • Supplies are critically low
  • Flexibility will be necessary in size and variety to fill orders
  • Romas are being substituted in many instances
  • Overall quality is average; Markon recommends quick rotations to optimize quality due to reduced shelf-life
  • Prices are at record levels for this time of the year
  • Some additional supplies will become available in Florida over the next two weeks; however, markets will remain elevated and overall yields low

Romas

• Florida

• • There are virtually no supplies available
  • Limited production will start in 10 days

• Mexican stocks are tight
  • Production will decrease over the next week due to Holy Week

• • Large sizes have slightly more availability
  • Quality ranges from fair to average
  • Prices are rising as Romas are being substituted for rounds

• Summary
  • Supplies are limited throughout the industry
  • Overall quality is average
  • Prices will continue to rise for several weeks
  • Yields should increase the week of April 13, but strong demand will keep markets high until North Florida’s season starts in early May
