The World Processing Tomatoes Council (WPTC) forecasts a global processed tomato volume of 41.8 million tonnes for 2023, with minor adjustments in forecasts for some countries like France and Tunisia due to water availability issues. Despite the potential for increased planting in Turkey, overall predictions remain steady. Price negotiations are underway across countries, resulting in significant increases. In the Northern Hemisphere, California's forecast and price per tonne are set, while Canada's forecast is preliminarily at 557,000 short tons. In the Southern Hemisphere, Argentina's forecast has slightly reduced due to adverse conditions, and Australia's forecast has been cut to 139,000 tonnes due to flooding and other challenges. Chile's forecast remains steady at 1.15 million tonnes, and Peru's forecast is for a total of 150,000 tonnes.
