California: Weekly tonnage as of 7 September 2025

The harvest season started at the same time as last year, with small quantities of organic tomatoes. Figures collected by the PTAB show that California processing tomato deliveries are slowly slowing down.

For week ten (ending September 7^th) PTAB is estimating 915,949 metric tonnes (t) (1,009,661 short tons) were delivered to the factories. Week eleven (ending September 14^th) is estimated to be 925,008 t (1,019,647 short tons) which would bring the year-to-date total to an estimated 7,620,678 t (8,400,360 short tons). 

The 2025 California Organic processing tomato deliveries for the week nine (ending August 31^st) were 30,197 t (33,287 short tons). 

If the weekly projections come true, the projected quantities on August 31 would represent approximately 62% of the California processors’ target (9.34 million t) and would be 13.3% above the average quantities delivered on the same date over past five years.
