Florida tomato supply gap to hit markets in March

(Feb. 12, 10:25 a.m.) IMMOKALEE, Fla. — Buyers should expect fewer Florida tomatoes and a supply gap in March.

A Feb. 5 freeze — the second in as many weeks —in the state’s southwest growing region is expected to create a seven to 10-day supply gap by mid-March and delay Immokalee’s spring deal by a couple of weeks.

Chuck Weisinger, president and chief executive officer of Fort Myers-based Weis-Buy Farms Inc., estimated Immokalee-area crops suffered about 80% damage while those south of Immokalee in the Naples growing region likely sustained 30% to 35% damage.

“Anything near harvest or harvest-ready is gone,” he said Feb. 11. “Anything that was in Immokalee and north is gone.”

They also challenged him to a public debate on the issue.
