The ’09 tomato crop came in as expected – large. This season was warm and mild and resulting tomato quality was good. Luckily the last day of processing at Los Gatos Tomato Products was October 13th – the first day of a major storm. With all of our growers’ crops harvested, and the processing completed our quality remained consistently high through the very end of the season.
Even though the 2009 season has just ended drip lines are already in the fields. By mid-December we will have seeds in greenhouses preparing for the 2010 season. The 2009 tomato field prices hit a record high due to a variety of factors including the lack of water, the high price of oil, and a tight supply from 2008. These issues have normalized so we expect the grower payments for the 2010 season to come down substantially.
