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.
