UPDATE: Tomatoes
February 18, 2020
All tomato varieties remain extremely limited, especially Romas. Prices continue to rise.
- Mexican yields are lower than normal due to cool weather and rain damage; shipments into Arizona and South Texas are well-below normal
- Florida supply is not meeting demand; domestic stocks are extremely limited
- Rain damage is present in most lots; quality is fair
- Round tomatoes (mature greens and vineripes) are being substituted for Romas to help fill orders
- High prices will persist through mid- to late March when Mexican supplies increase
