COMMODITY ALERTS!
TOMATO SUPPLY GAP. Due to cool weather slowing the harvest,
Florida finished up. The Carolinas are planning to begin harvesting June 5th. Supplies of Rounds and Plum/Romas will drastically decrease, and prices will soar
. Grape Tomatoes supplies are expected to decrease a little which is sure to put pressure on supplies of Cherry Tomatoes.
Price increases are also anticipated for the other commodities coming out of the Southeast-- Cucumbers, Eggplant, Yellow Squash, and Zucchini.
RED SEEDLESS GRAPE SUPPLY GAP. Offshore grapes are finished, Mexican volumes are building, and domestic red grapes have just begun. SMALL APPLES. Washington supplies of high-count (small-sized) Golden Delicious and Granny Smith Apples are very light-- significantly less than this time last year.
