Due to Covid, there are labor shortages in US grape production facilities.

Labor shortage: a) Covid-19 restrictions & grants that incentivize workers to work. The situation worsens during August & September when more fruits come into season. b.) Intense temperatures (above 100 degrees Fahrenheit) prevent workers from working by law

Heatwave: Tremendously affected the crops from Coachella valley (early varieties)

Small players are at a disadvantage

Covid-19 unemployment benefits disincentivize workers at the usual wage rate, causing a problem, especially for small and individual farmers that lack capital than big firms.
