Extract

U.S. consumption of fresh tomatoes and cucumbers during the winter season (defined herein as November through May) is typically about 1,300 million and 370 million pounds, respectively. Florida has long been the major domestic supplier, and other states, principally Texas, California, and South Carolina, provide the remaining domestic winter season production. Mexico also is a major supplier of tomatoes and cucumbers in the U.S. during the winter. Before the 1962 embargo on Cuban-U.S. trade, Cuba, too, was an important source.
