Fresh movement of California strawberries to date lags behind previous years. The weekly total for last week shows that volumes are beginning to increase to more average levels of where they should be for this time of year. In 2007 the frost set back the crop. The 2008 season so far has been cool and wet in certain weeks. Warmer and drier weather will help to bring fruit production along. Mexico and Florida are also behind in volume compared to 2007.
