Spanish tomato supply is at its lowest during the coldest weeks of the year which are typically between W2 and W14. Starting in spring, supply quantities experience a recovery due to the increase in temperature and the hours of sunshine. This year however, the low supply weeks are much more pronounced due to the adverse weather conditions suffered, especially severe drought in the largest producing areas. There are some areas that could even lose 60% of production. The lower than usual supply is affecting price levels that are at all-time highs, especially for cherry tomato varieties.
