Port strike expected to affect supply of pineapples, bananas, beans and asparagus.
UPDATE: Broccolini/Sweet Baby Broccoli supplies continue to be very tight. Unseasonably cold weather along with rain last weekend in Salinas is slowing the growth process and resulting in lower yields.
Expectations:
- Expect all suppliers to have limited supplies through the next few weeks. Suppliers will be watching averages to get through this shortage.
- Expect purple cast going forward. This is a common and natural attribute especially in the winter months. It is not a defect and does not impact quality.
