Mexican growing season looking ‘normal’ this year, and that’s a good thing.

With no major weather events impacting the growing season in Mexico thus far this year, the production of organic tomatoes is ramping up with good supplies and decent FOB prices expected as shippers move into and through the end-of-the-year holiday season.

“We are wrapping up production from Baja California,” said Michael DuPuis, manager of quality assurance and public relations for Divine Flavor Inc., on Nov. 15. “Sonora production should get started in the next 10 days and Sinaloa should be going by mid-December.”
