Lettuce supplies continue to improve despite periods of harvest interruptions. Iceberg lettuce shipments last week rose 21% from the prior week. The lettuce markets are trending downward and have reached levels that could cause farmers to slow the harvest due to poor margins. Thus, the lettuce markets are expected to bottom or turn upward soon. Florida tomato supplies are tightening due to the challenging weather earlier this winter. Florida tomato stocks could remain restricted into March. For now, ample Mexican tomato shipments are keeping tomato prices at bay.
