Jumbo carrots are tight and up on price. Limited production of jumbo carrots out of California, with sizing leaning more toward medium sized ones.

Iceberg lettuce is very limited and up on price as well. The demand exceeds the supply. There’s a production gap in Santa Maria and not enough production out Salinas to fulfill the demand.

Red bell peppers continue to be limited and up on price. California is still gapping between growing regions reducing current yields.

​Pineapples are very active and up on price. Costa Rica is being impacted by heavy thunderstorms, therefore a gap in their production. Not enough production out of Mexico to fill the void.
