Tomato Market Currently in Short Supply as Florida Production Kicks Off
UNITED STATES & MEXICO - As recent reports from both the United States Department of Agriculture and PRO*ACT’s The Source can attest to, tomato supply is currently very light.
As The Source outlined in its April 2, 2025, report, “Florida production remains light, with supply expected to improve by May. Central Florida has started with light volumes, and production will gradually increase through April and May. Mexican supply is steady, though rounds remain the tightest variety. More fruit variety is expected in late spring.”

The Los Angeles Terminal Market echoed this reporting, as it reported that the market was barely steady on April 4, 2025: For Tomatoes (25 lb cartons loose):
