Regional Production Highlights - Week of February 20th:

Post-Valentine’s berry supplies are mixed, with California strawberries limited by rain, Central Mexico down, Baja increasing, and Florida rebounding. Other berries remain limited in supply and availability. 

Lettuce supplies are slightly improving, while broccoli and cauliflower remain snug; Brussels sprouts have improved.

Overall supply is better than two weeks ago but still limited, and markets may firm as demand increases.
