Produce Report

Produce- Onion shipments remain deficient due to reduced acreage and harvest delays in various parts of the country.  Onion supplies are anticipated to improve in the coming weeks.  Cyclical charts indicate that the yellow onion markets could move downward as July progresses.  Tomato shipments last week rose 40% due to the expanding harvests in California and the Southeast.  Additional tomato market decreases are likely.  The iceberg lettuce market is trending lower.  Relatively steady
