Cucumbers

The Cucumber market is steady. Domestic product is finished for season but can load imported product out of Florida. Mexico has decent supply this week, but with cooler/rainy weather it could lead to the market tightening up some next week.

Lemons

California continues to have a strong supply of lemons, skewing towards choice. Orange availability is trending toward larger sizing.

Lettuce

Improved weather and decreased demand are providing ample supply, better quality, and field weights. Overall, quality is improving, although there are still some defects being culled at the field level due to earlier wet weather. Most markets are low, stable, and creeping downward — a trend that should continue as long as weather remains favorable.

Peppers

The supply for peppers is steady with good demand. Florida and Mexico have both had cooler temperatures and some rain that has slowed production. Quality seems to be ok.

Potatoes

The potato quality remains strong with a plentiful supply. Freight continues to be a challenge but is slowly improving.

Tomatoes

Rounds and Romas out of Florida have increased this week with more4 demand and less product available. Colder temperatures and rainy weather at the end of last week, along with having only three shippers producing has contributed to less overall volume. Mexico has also received some rain that has production down compared to what is typically for this time in the year. Production is increasing out of Culiacan and will continue to increase in the next few weeks. Early reports on the product are that quality is a hit or miss when having extreme heat during the growing season and then having the recent rain and colder temperatures.
