Dear Ole Tyme Customers:
Update:
- Temperatures in Northern Mexico and the Southwestern U.S. have returned to normal after weeks of cold weather.
- Early January saw hurricane-force winds that caused wildfires in Southern California and Northern Baja, severely impacting herb production.
- Strong winds and extended cold reduced herb supplies, especially basil, tarragon, and sage.
- Slightly cooler temperatures and light precipitation are expected through the weekend, followed by a return to seasonal, dry conditions next week.
What to Expect:
- Herb availability will depend on how quickly crops recover in the warming temperatures.
- Logistical challenges at East Coast ports are limiting herb imports from Central America.
- Weather patterns in February will be crucial for herb production in the western regions.
- Supply shortages are expected in the near term.
- There is uncertainty about potential tariffs on Canada and Mexico, currently on a 30-day pause, which could impact the produce industry.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.
Thanks,
Ole Tyme Produce
