The last scraps of the warehouses are being empyied out.
Also with labor shortages even the product that gets harvested ends up languishing in poor storage at various stages before it reaches the store. Instead of a quick pickup with a refigerated semi, you’re getting vans a few hours late. The boxes sit in the field for longer, etc. (Anecdote from a berry farm in my area.)
