2018-19 Annual Report ANNUAL REPORT 2019 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN For the second year in a row the Florida season began with a hurricane. Hurricane Michael made landfall on the Panhandle on October 10, 2018 and drove inland. Farmers of all commodities grown in Northern Florida and Southern Georgia were devastated as were the communities they live in. Mexico also experienced severe weather which impacted the growing regions and further stressed the North American supplies. This break in supplies and the lack foodservice sector. Despite headwinds including an of overlapping producing regions created a high-priced unfavorable exchange rate and an abundance of market which lasted through December. As supplies competition from Mexican exports and Canadian normalized so did pricing.

EQUIVALENTS tomatoes were packed in the FTC production area during the 2018-19 season, representing a 0.8% decrease compared to the previous season’s total of 25.9 million boxes. This was the smallest crop of round tomatoes produced in the FTC production area since 1976-77 when Florida’s winter crop was wiped out by a devastating freeze (the total volume of that season was 25.2 million boxes). The FTC doesn’t track plum, grape, or cherry tomatoes, but it is estimated that round tomatoes account for approximately 70% of Florida’s total crops during the season. Hurricane Michael devastated the production volume. fall crop for growers in North Florida and South Georgia, but those regions are not part of the FTC production area and are The reduction to this season’s volume was the result of a therefore not included in this report’s statistics. decline in planted acreage. Other than Hurricane Michael in October 2018, there weren’t any adverse weather events that The fact that the 2018-19 crop was only 0.8% smaller than the significantly impacted the Central and South Florida tomato previous season is somewhat deceptive since the fall crop in 2017 was seriously impacted by Hurricane Irma. If Irma hadn’t made landfall in Florida, the year-over-year comparison would likely have been more stark. Two large growers – Harllee Packing and Fresh Del Monte Produce – decided to exit the tomato growing business prior to the start of 2018-19 season, which contributed to the FTC’s production decline. Fresh Del Monte Produce was a relatively recent addition to the Florida tomato industry, having purchased the tomato operations of East Coast Brokers and Packers Inc. in 2013. Harllee Packing, on the other hand, was one of the oldest tomato growers and packers in the state with roots going back to the late 1800s. The loss of these two operations reflects the difficult market reality and is a continuation of a trend that has seen the industry shrink from approximately 300 growers to less than 50 in the span of just 20 years. Thankfully, the quality of the crop was very good with 63% of tomatoes being packed as “85% U.S. No. 1 or better,” with “combo” and “U.S. No. 2” grades accounting for 19% and 18%, respectively. Mature greens made up 88% of the
