April 29, 2020

Tomato prices continue to climb; overall supplies are extremely limited. Expect active markets over the next several weeks.

  • Mexican crossings into the U.S. are below normal levels; cool weather and weak demand have reduced volume
    • Round and Roma tomatoes remain scarce
    • Spring harvesting will begin in Baja, Mexico by late May
  • Florida’s spring crop has struggled; however, supplies should steadily increase over the next few weeks as production transitions to new growing regions
