California’s Tomato Season Begins – Here’s What You Need to Know
Morning Star colleague Aaron Giampietro returns with another TOMATO BITES by Morning Star update. In this edition, we cover the official start of California’s 2025 tomato transplanting season, with seedlings moving from the greenhouse into the fertile soils of the Central Valley.
With solid water conditions and increased reservoir investments, growers are well-positioned, but yield assumptions remain a key factor in shaping final production numbers. Tune in for the latest insights on demand, exports, and supply chain dynamics as we navigate the season ahead!
We’ll also break down U.S. processed tomato supply trends, current inventory levels, and projections for the 2025 crop. While global supply remains plentiful, worldwide production is expected to decline by 10%.
