Florida Produce Shipments

We are still four months away from Florida’s heaviest time of the year with spring produce loadings, but here are your best bets if in the Sunshine State.  Central Florida tomatoes, whether mature greens, cherry, or grape tomatoes are averaging about 1,000 truck loads a week.  Strawberry volume out of the Plant City area are increasing in volume.  There’s also citrus ranging from oranges, to grapefruit, tangerines and tangelos.   Potatoes from south Florida are still several weeks away from diggings and shipments…..Don’t necessarily be looking for freight to Florida this time of year, because overall loadings are scarace out of Florida.  If it helps, South Georgia is shipping a few mixed veggies to help fill your load. 

Central Florida Produce – about $1700 to New York City
