The demand for fresh organic herbs such as basil, chives, parsley, and mint is currently outstripping supply, largely due to their ease of use, aesthetic appeal, and nutritional benefits. However, the supply chain is facing challenges due to the herbs' temperature sensitivity, requiring delivery within 48 hours of harvest. Factors such as weather conditions and border crossings can cause delays. Despite these challenges, growers in California are expecting a surge in supply by mid-February, thanks to anticipated warmer weather which should speed up herb harvesting.
