WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEK

Critical Updates:

• 🚨Roma Tomatoes: Prices are expected to stay up for 2-3 weeks before we transition to a heavier new crop.
• 🚨Burgundy truffles: Burgundy truffle season is nearing its end, with limited availability resulting in a slight price increase for the remainder of the season.

Market Moves:

• 📈 What’s Up: Green onions, grape tomatoes, Red Delicious apples, Gailan and limes are up in price this week.

• 📉 What’s Down: Prices are down on cauliflower, white onions, and habanero peppers.

What's Up, What's Down & Shorts Recap

Market Moves This Week

📈Price Increases📈

Prices on these items are trending up this week:

• GREEN ONIONS (2857 & 2860) - California supply is tightening as heat and insect pressure continue to affect production. We are gradually transitioning to Mexican supply.
• GRAPES TOMATOES (4643 & 3410) - Transitioning to imported product this week is driving prices higher.
• RED DELICIOUS APPLES (2028) - Prices are expected to come down in the coming weeks as more products are available from the U.S. and Canada.
• GAILAN (2515) - Local supply is limited due to quality concerns;  temporarily sourcing imported product is resulting in elevated pricing.
  
• LIME (2718 & 2720) - Transitioning to Mexico’s new crop, with limited large-size limes keeping prices high.

📉Price Drops📉

Prices on these items are trending down this week:

• CAULIFLOWER (2301) - California weather continues to pressure production, pushing prices higher for good-quality product.
• WHITE ONION (2878) - U.S. supply has improved and is expected to remain strong throughout the quarter.
• HABANERO PEPPER (2989) - Local habanero supply and quality remain strong.

 🚩Red Flags/Shorts:🚩

The biggest supply or quality challenges and updates to be aware of this week, how long we expect them to last, and what we’re doing to keep orders covered.

• Nectarines (2798) | Supply is running short due to a gap before Chilean fruit arrives in mid-November. U.S. peaches and plums are available for a few more weeks to help fill the gap.
  
• Cremini Mushrooms (3882) | Availability remains limited, with Cremini supply expected to improve over the next couple of weeks.
• Frozen Mango Puree (8854, 7863*) | A short supply gap is expected due to transportation delays, with availability expected to improve once new arrivals come in.
