Regional Production Highlights - Week of February 13th:
Cold weather continues across most growing regions, though early signs of spring are appearing. Florida and parts of Mexico remain below normal temperatures, while coastal California stays dry.
Strawberry supplies are tight due to limited Florida yields from near-freezing nights and California/Baja transitioning into spring production with gradually improving quality.
Tender leaf greens and desert row crops remain limited, particularly arugula and broccoli. Overall winter conditions are keeping markets tight, especially with increased Valentine’s Day demand.
Weather Highlights:
Florida: Warm through Saturday; showers and storms expected Sunday.
California: Light showers through Thursday, cooler temperatures late week, with another system bringing rain Saturday night into early next week.
Arizona: Gradual cooling; slight chance of light rain in Yuma Friday; otherwise mostly dry.
Mexico: Near to slightly above normal temperatures with minimal light showers expected.
