Regional Production Highlights - Week of March 6th:

Overview:

Severe weather in the southern U.S. has led to shortages and higher prices for several vegetables, including tomatoes, peppers, corn, green onions, and limes.

Additional items like cucumbers, squash, zucchini, chilies, green beans, and carrots are also limited due to weather impacts.

Lettuce quality remains good though pricing varies, broccoli prices are rising again, and cauliflower is still expensive but starting to improve.

Red grapes are abundant while green grapes remain tight, though the price difference may reverse soon, and blueberry supplies are currently limited.

Florida will see isolated showers with warm temperatures and windy conditions through Friday.

California will experience clouds and gusty winds midweek before warming later in the week.

Arizona will cool briefly due to a cold front with windy conditions, followed by gradual warming over the weekend.

Mexico will see increased showers midweek before conditions turn more isolated, with warm temperatures continuing.
