Lettuce: Coral and Festival in short supply, expect supply to return to normal in August.

Pineapple: Very low numbers coming in from QLD resulting in very high prices, particularly the Gold Bethonga variety. The best value at the moment is a top on pineapple.

Potatoes: Low supply on Blue and Red due to the cooler weather. This is also affecting the size of the produce, resulting in very small potatoes.
