Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

As the Navel season progresses, supplies are currently strongest on 72/88/56 count fruit. 113/138 count fruit has tightened significantly due to recent inclement weather, which accelerated fruit sizing. Small fruit is expected to remain extremely limited for the remainder of the season, with strong markets.

Persistent fog in the Central Valley has created harvest challenges, including increased moisture on fruit, delayed drying, and limited harvest windows. While growers have applied maximum allowable protective treatments, additional rain is forecasted through next week, which will further reduce harvesting and may keep growers out of the groves for multiple days.

Customer Notes:

  • Please be flexible on size and grade.
  • Suppliers will closely monitor small fruit availability beginning next week.

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

Thanks,

Ole Tyme Produce
