All tomatoes are active and up on price. Mexico is winding down and not enough production out of California to fulfill the demand.
​
Green, red, and yellow bell peppers are also up on price. Green bells out Bakersfield have passed its peak production while Fresno and Ventura are barley starting theirs. The east coast is also behind with their production relying on California to full fill the void. Red & Yellow Bells are mainly out California because both Mexico and Canada are having issues with their production. Expect higher prices throughout the week.
 
Romaine, Romaine hearts, and Iceberg continue to be active. There’s a production gap in Santa Maria and relying on Salinas to full fill the demand.
 
Idaho and Russet potatoes are up on prices as well. Last year’s storage potatoes are winding down and it’s about 4 weeks before we get into the new crop. Expect prices to continue to increase and sizing will be an issue, particular the big sized ones (40-60ct).
