Due to ongoing droughts in California, a state with the leading tomato production, the US might experience shortages of this staple during 2023.
Other farm grown produce might be in short supply during 2023 too. This is due to fertiliser shortages following the Russian war in the Ukraine. Russia is one of the world's largest producers of the main fertiliser types - phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium.
The effects of climate change on farms, during production and harvesting is another factor that will add to potential shortages of fresh produce.
