Cuban tomatoes profit from Florida shortage in New York
Cuban tomato shipments to the United States total about 1,000 carloads as Florida harvests lag. Post-freeze exports rose with Cuba’s large acreage allowing ready cash markets in Havana. Prices averaged above last year though some sales incurred importer losses, with best 6x6s at 2.75 to 3.25 dollars per lug and smaller sizes lower. Cuban supply expected to ease by March when Florida ramps up.
