Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the tomato market in the Americas contracted from 26 342 thousand tons to 23 904 thousand tons. This decline was driven by intense competition from Mexican producers, who leveraged protected cultivation to supply the U.S. market year-round, and adverse climate conditions that reduced yields in key growing states like Florida and California.

The downward trend continued through 2022, with the market reaching 21 783 thousand tons. U.S. production faced persistent challenges from weather and international competition, while a sharp rise in exports further reduced domestic availability. Supply chain disruptions, including a shortage of refrigerated truck drivers and agricultural labor, compounded the pressure. Industry restructuring was evident with Olam International's partial divestment of a tomato processing plant.

In 2023, the market rebounded to 24 361 thousand tons as domestic production recovered. The introduction of new tomato varieties, such as the sweet yellow cherry tomato SH 9133, and sustained demand for both fresh and processed tomatoes supported this growth. Mexico solidified its position as the leading exporter in the region, while consumer preference for healthy foods continued to influence market dynamics.
