The harvest season started a few days earlier than in previous years, with small quantities of organic tomatoes. Figures collected by the PTAB show that California processing tomato deliveries are gradually increasing to peak within a few weeks.

For week two (ending July 13th) PTAB is estimating 146,616 metric tonnes (t) (161,616 short tons) were delivered to the factories. Week three (ending July 20th) is estimated to be 490,417 t (540,592 tons) which would bring the year-to-date total to an estimated 639,109 t (704,497 tons). 

The 2024 California Organic processing tomato deliveries for the week one (ending July 6th) were 2,077 t (2,289 tons). 
If the weekly projections come true, the projected quantities on July 20 would represent approximately 6% of the California processors' target (10.43 million t) and would be 8% above the average quantities delivered on the same date over past five years.
