🔴 AOG Extreme Market Alert: Tomatoes🔴

Supplies remain tight across grape, roma, and round tomatoes due to ongoing production challenges in Florida and Mexico, though the worst in regard to supply, product availability, and quality is product out of Mexico and the West Coast.

Grape tomato volumes are sharply reduced from disease pressure, low Florida yields, and constrained Mexican supply. Roma availability is tightening as Florida stays limited through early May and Mexico transitions early, with only brief softening this week. Round tomatoes remain light, especially larger sizes, impacted by disease, weather, and lingering freeze effects. 🍅

❗ Markets remain volatile with elevated pricing and limited relief until late April or early May.

🚨 Market Alert: Broccoli 🚨

🥦 Broccoli availability is tightening significantly. Strong demand combined with weather-driven crop disruptions has resulted in extremely limited supplies.

Earlier warm weather pushed crops forward, while recent cooler temperatures have slowed yields, leading to a short-term supply gap. ☀️

⬆️ Limited volumes are expected to persist, keeping markets elevated for the coming weeks.

Our team is staying close to the market and supporting customers through this supply challenge.

❗ Market Alert: Blueberries & Blackberries ❗

Blackberry supplies continue their seasonal decline, with tightening availability during the spring gap. Mexico volumes remain limited with inconsistent quality, and demand is exceeding supply which is keeping markets firm. Relief isn’t expected until Georgia production begins in late May. 🚨

🫐 Blueberry availability is also tightening as import volumes decline. Cooler weather in the Southeast is slowing domestic crop progress, while Chilean supplies are ending, leaving limited volumes from Peru and Mexico. Markets are expected to remain short until U.S. production ramps up in early May.

🚨 Extreme Market Alert: Tomatoes 🚨

Next week is projected to be the most challenging yet for tomatoes as the current situation has shaped up to be one of the worst tomato markets in decades. 🍅

❗ Typically, production from Mexico and Florida can offset one another in times of crisis, but both regions are currently in an AOG situation. In Florida, freezes not only damaged crops already in the ground but also severely impacted blooms, limiting future yields. Additionally, due to multiple compounding factors including rising freight costs, Mexican blight and heavy rains + disease pressures, there continues to be a cascading effect from early harvests through current production there as well. To top things off, supply-and-demand imbalances have driven ongoing price and availability spikes across multiple varieties including but not limited to rounds, romas, grapes and cherries.

Slight improvement is anticipated after next week as recovery efforts take hold; however, market fluctuations are expected to persist throughout April as growing regions transition and weather conditions gradually stabilize. ⬆️

❗ Market Alert: Green Bell Peppers & Chili Peppers ❗

Supply remains tight across both green bell peppers and chili peppers due to weather impacts and seasonal transitions.

Green bell peppers are seeing light availability out of Central and West Mexico, with smaller sizes, early crop finishes, and ongoing quality challenges. Conditions are expected to remain tight into early April, with improvement anticipated by mid-April as Canadian production ramps up. 🫑

Chili peppers are also limited. Florida volumes are recovering slowly following freeze damage, especially for poblanos and jalapeños, while Mexico production remains impacted by weather, disease, and pests. Tomatillos are particularly short with quality concerns. 🌶️

❗ Market Alert: Green Grapes ❗

Supply continues to improve as import volume builds, bringing more stable availability across most varieties. 📦

Red grapes remain well balanced, supported by consistent supply, solid quality, and steady pricing that is keeping movement reliable.

🚨 Green grapes are tightening as demand exceeds supply, pressuring prices and limiting availability of top-grade fruit.

Quality across all varieties remains good overall, with consistent eating characteristics. 🍇

❗ Market Alert: Corn ❗

🌽 Supply remains extremely limited and is expected to stay tight for at least four more weeks, with markets holding in the low $60s.

Mexico is facing significant quality issues leading to load rejections, while Florida has very limited availability.

🌨️Recent freezes may have destroyed up to 9,000 acres of Florida production, with further losses possible as assessments continue. Limited frost-protection capability contributed to widespread damage. Mexico is also seeing reduced output due to soil strain, rain, and lower yields.

🚨 Prorates under Act of God clauses are likely, and backstock depletion next week may create fill gaps. Overall availability remains critically short.
