Dear Ole Tyme Customers:
Due to recent rain and cooler weather:
- Strawberry production will be disrupted through next week.
- Markets are already tight and expected to remain short through October, possibly into November.
- Prices will increase next week due to limited supply.
- Shippers are prioritizing contracts and program orders, leaving minimal fruit for open market sales.
- Expect reduced fill rates and pushed orders throughout the week.
- With fall/winter weather approaching, it’s recommended to review and submit numbers for November-start contracts in the CMS portal to ensure better coverage.
A weather model for Tuesday, October 14th at 10:00 AM PST was also included BELOW for reference.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.
