Carrot supplies could get tighter as regions open back up
Yields of carrots are lighter than normal right now and could potentially become tighter in the coming months.
“There’s not a lot of size coming out of California at the moment,” says Rob Giragosian with Arvin, CA-based Kern Ridge Growers, LLC. “All our carrots are grown in California. The wildfires we had last year diminished the sun exposure for an extend period which affected our harvest. We saw a decline in the size of the carrots and a reduction in yields. We have moved through those plantings and should see production get back to normal soon. Overall, supplies are on the tighter side and a little off from a typical year but not by much.”
