No other single factor affects market pricing and contract fulfillment more than having adequate raw tomato tonnage to meet both domestic and worldwide demand. California supplies 34 percent of the world consumption of processed tomatoes. This fact places strong competitive demand on the available tonnage.
Due to the seasonality of processing tomatoes, having a grasp of the crop status is of utmost importance. One Source Food Solutions tracks weather patterns and observes and reports on: contract acreage intentions; yield trends, field prices, total tonnage reports, weekly deliveries, world-wide crop status in other producing countries, etc.

Those of us who grew up enjoying ketchup at nearly every meal, on eggs, sandwiches, French fries, hot dogs and hamburgers, meatloaf and as a condiment on dozens of other foods, were fairly astounded in 1992 when market research firms announced that salsa (including picante, enchilada, taco and similar chili-based sauces) had actually outpaced the consumption of ketchup in the USA.
Since that time, numerous market trends have emerged, many with a preference for utilizing processed tomatoes. In all market segments including retail chains, food service operators, and industrial food manufacturers, the nutritional value and flavor benefits of tomatoes are encouraging consumers and marketers into new product introductions: organic and conventional single serve and family-sized meals, ethnic foods, pizza, pasta sauces, frozen entrees, shelf-stable entrees, soups, stews, salad dressings, etc.
With over 30 years in the processed tomato industry, One Source Food Solutions is uniquely qualified to help our customers interpret and take advantage of current market trends utilizing this exceptionally versatile, flavorful and economical ingredient: tomatoes!
