Interesting datapoint. This further underscores potential production challenges in Mexico which primarily sources the western US while south Florida would be a bigger driver of east coast availability.
Tomatoes are produced basically 365 days a year in Sinaloa and Nayarit states of MX (under plastic or lowtech glasshouse production schemes).
