Hot Market of the Week?? This week, we focus on the Fresno, CA, produce market in California’s Central Valley, where, according to DATs Market Condition Index (MCI), available capacity will remain tight well into next week in the lead-up to Thanksgiving. California is one of the largest agricultural producers in the United States, with most of its production coming from the Central Valley, which stretches from north to south, including the Sacramento Valley (north) and the San Joaquin Valley (south). The Central Valley is known as the "fruit and vegetable basket of the world." Major crops include rice, almonds, grapes, tomatoes, cotton, lettuce, oranges, apricots, strawberries, and walnuts. According to the USDA, truckloads of produce in California were around 9% behind last year at the start of November, accounting for 20% of the year-to-date (YTD) truckload volume. Major crops include lettuce (21% of YTD volume), strawberries (15%), and grapes (10%).
