Oranges- Supplies are good; Valencia's are wrapping up and the Navels are officially underway.

Strawberries-Heavy rain has put an end to Central Cal production.The forecast is clear going forward but it will take several days to recover. Shelf life will be limited.

Pineapple-Supplies are improving as volume increases each week. Flexibility in sizing will remain key for the next few weeks. Anticipate much better supplies by mid-October.

Turkey-Turkey supply remains very tight across the complex. Whole bird and Ready to Cook Turkey breasts are in high demand and are hard to find if you haven't booked your holiday needs.

Seafood – Seafood markets are experiencing firm conditions due to seasonal demand, delayed harvests, and tightening supply. Tariff impacts are beginning to influence pricing expectations, particularly for crab and canned items. Continued supply constraints may shape availability through early fall.
