Weather issues, particularly rain and supply shortages continue to impact yields and harvest with lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, leading to high prices and limited availability. Lemons and oranges remain expensive, with relief expected in a few weeks. Berries, particularly blueberries and strawberries, are in tight supply, while avocados are stable with good quality and low prices. We are seeing good quality and plentiful supply on cucumbers, squash, eggplant, and tomatoes. Asparagus supplies are tight but expected to improve, and chili peppers are seeing some supply issues as well leading to slightly higher prices.
