15th World Processing Tomato Congress Session:
Technology and Innovation in the Tomato Processing Industry

During the 15th World Processing Tomato Congress in June 2024, Chris Rufer of The Morning Star Company discussed his views on future innovations in tomato processing. He addressed several topics such as the future of processing tomato seeds, transplanting, harvesting, and hauling, grower contracting, raw tomato pricing, labor and talent development, climate change, government regulations, sustainability, the possibility of new countries entering the processing tomato industry, and the future role of AI.

Spring Planting Underway - Morning Star's Insight on Tomato Crop and Water Allocations

Morning Star colleague Aaron Giampietro is back with another TOMATO BITES by Morning Star update. Amidst California's favorable weather and robust water storage, transplant operations are flourishing, yet state forecasted water supply allocations remain low, and crop price negotiations continue between the tomato processors and the California Tomato Growers Association. Morning Star's commitment to supply chain resilience continues to evolve to ensure stability and confidence for customers.

Morning Star colleague Aaron Giampietro is back with another TOMATO BITES by Morning Star update. This release focuses on the latest findings of the May 2023 USDA National Agriculture Statistic Services report, which reveals an anticipated increase in planted acres compared to January's statistics. Due to a wet winter and spring in the state, water allocations reached 100%. However, this also resulted in consistent fluctuations in tomato transplant schedules. With transplanting approaching completion and a long season ahead of us, Morning Star will remain highly focused on yields.

###

We invite you to access a special release article that provides a deeper level of context to the May 31 USDA NASS California Processing Tomato report.

Colleague Aaron Giampietro is back with another TOMATO BITES by Morning Star update. California is currently experiencing the effects of yet another atmospheric river, which has led to delays in transplanting and increased natural gas usage in the greenhouses. However, despite these challenges, we remain optimistic and have implemented plans to expedite transplanting as soon as the weather permits, which will ensure steady volumes of tomatoes well into October.
