Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

Fields continue to battle increased INSV pressure, resulting in extremely lower yields and tighter availability across Romaine, Romaine Hearts, and Baby/Petite/Artisan Romaine. As we head into the transition, suppliers will be closely watching numbers, as the situation appears to be getting worse and could further impact supplies and sizing.

We expect Channel Pricing to trigger by the end of next week on Romaine packs as supplies tighten. Conditions are expected to remain challenging over the next couple of weeks. Huron is scheduled to begin harvest on October 19th, which should help improve overall supply as we transition out of Salinas.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.

Thanks,

Ole Tyme Produce
