Fruits
APPLES
Supply for foodservice-size Gala and Granny Smiths is tight, applying pricing pressure. Expect other varieties to be more readily available and steadily priced.
AVOCADOS
While harvesting in Mexico slowed last week for the holidays, supply and pricing are steady.
SMALL CITRUS
California Navel oranges are larger this season due to rain and fog followed by lots of sun. Expect to see less availability of small Navels and Mandarins, as well as lemons. Florida will support by filling in the gaps. Sizes are expected to persist into Valencia season.

Supplies have almost run out, putting pressure on the price of imports. Markets are expected to stay elevated until mid-January arrivals are received.

Mexican and offshore honeydews are limited in supply, increasing pricing pressure.
PEARS

Vegetables

Brussel Sprouts
Facing insects, decay, and small sizing, supplies are very limited on Brussels sprouts.
Carrots
Supplies will be tight for the next 6-8 weeks due to delayed harvests. Cello and jumbo carrots might run out soon, so look to supplement with baby or value-added. Order with a 72-hour lead time.
Celery
Due to significant rainfall recently in California, causing damage and flooding to most celery crops. Availability is putting pressure on supply and price. Expect to see quality impacted.
Green Onion
The market is high due to tight supply, but it’s predicted to improve in the coming weeks.
POTATOES
Smaller-count potatoes are harder to find at the moment, along with small and large counts. Expect more supply in mid-sizes.
