What's Up, What's Down & Shorts Recap

Market Moves This Week

📈Price Increases📈

Prices on these items are trending up this week:

• STRAWBERRIES (3346) - Prices will stay elevated due to tight availability until California growing conditions improve.
• GREEN LEAF LETTUCE (2661), RED LEAF LETTUCE (2683), ARTISAN ROMAINE LETTUCE (2700),  CAULIFLOWER (2301) &  GREEN LEAF FILET LETTUCE (2665) - Lower yields as transitional crops continues to remain under stress.
• ROMA TOMATO (3431) - Mexican crop yields are low due to negative weather.
• CHINESE EGGPLANT (6835) - Limited availability of good quality crops and the shift in sourcing regions has increased prices.
• NUTS & DRY FRUITS (2813, 4757, 2814, 8014, 2817, 2846, 2839, 5632) - Supply from the U.S increased in price due to increased production cost and broader economic pressures. 
• TOMATILLO (3436) - Prices increased as good quality crops are limited due to colder temperatures in Central Mexico affecting crops.
• MINI SWEET PEPPERS (4615) - Supply is tight due to low yields out of Mexican greenhouses.

📉Price Drops📉

Prices on these items are trending down this week:

• KIWI FRUIT (2605) - Price adjusted due to new origin.
• BRUSSELS SPROUTS (2225) - Price decreases due to improved supply. Sizing is still running small, but prices on mediums and smalls are down.
• GREEN ONIONS (2857, 2860) - Prices are down due to increased yields. Supplies are stabilizing.

 🚩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.

• Strawberries | Weather continues to disrupt harvest in California, and Mexican supply is not ready to fill the gap, so availability remains tight and further gaps are expected. In the meantime, we have a strong supply of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, so we encourage you to consider adjusting your menu plans with berries for the next few weeks.
• Peaches | Peach supply will be limited for the next few weeks while we transition between growing regions. In the mean time, we have Italian Angelino plums available as a stone fruit alternative.
• Little Gem Lettuce | Little Gem lettuce from Church Brothers will be out of stock for about 3-4 weeks.
