Spending on “Better for You” products
Thinking of budgeting when shopping for groceries or household items, we asked:
Which of the following categories would you allocate more money to purchase healthier/better for you/your household products (e.g., organic, no additives, etc.)?
Top ranking selections include:
Onion Market Update
California growers are starting to wind down their season as the Pacific Northwest starts to ramp up harvest. Demand has been good overall for all sizes of red and yellow onions.
The Pacific Northwest and Idaho have started with excellent quality and good yields to kick off the season. Availability and supplies are excellent in all colors and sizes – reach out to your RPE sales rep for a quote today!
Potato Market Update
All major shipping areas are up and running russet potatoes. So far, the crop looks very nice, with some promising yields. Depending on the varieties, we are seeing good sizes. Soon, we will know what kind of crop all growing regions have. Pricing continues to be moving downward as more and more russet potatoes become available.
Like the russet potato market, yellow and red potatoes are being harvested in every significant shipping area. Yields are looking great. Pricing is also inching downward as more products become available.
White potatoes are available in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and Maine. Demand is steady, with most of the product remaining close to the shipping region.
Colorado, Idaho, and New Mexico are up and running with a new crop of fingerling potatoes. Demand continues to be strong for the available product.
Harvest is Underway!
