The latest crop update from California and the Pacific Northwest points to a promising season for food manufacturers and processors sourcing frozen fruits and vegetables.
Tomatoes
This year’s tomato season is progressing well, with healthy early growth and no major disease or water issues reported. Processors are expecting a steady supply of quality tomatoes, with contract pricing already in place. Late-season varieties are also expected to perform well.
Cherries & Stone Fruit
Cherry harvest is underway across the Northwest, with volumes up from the previous season. Good weather conditions have supported solid yields for both fresh and processing markets. Stone fruits like plums are on track for early fall harvest, with signs pointing to average to strong volumes.
Pears
Pear growers are reporting favorable conditions for Bartlett, Bosc, and Anjou varieties. Early signs indicate a healthy crop for processing, including canning and juice production.
Berries
Berry production is thriving in the Northwest, particularly for blueberries and red raspberries. Harvest is ongoing for multiple berry types, all of which are critical to the frozen, purée, and juice sectors. Quality is reportedly strong, and demand for frozen applications continues to rise.
With harvests on track and demand holding steady, it’s a good time to revisit your supply plans.
