UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

July 20, 2023

Ample supplies of green leaf and romaine persist, keeping markets depressed. Iceberg yields are adequate; demand has increased on the West Coast due to climatic challenges in the Eastern Seaboard growing areas.

Green Leaf and Romaine

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf and Romaine are readily available
  • Quality is good; fringe burn, internal burn, and insect pressure are present in some lots
  • Markets are expected to remain steady at low levels through July

Iceberg

  • MFC Premium Iceberg is currently being packed; Markon Best Available (MBA) may be substituted if necessary
  • Quality is very good; insect pressure, sunscald, and wind damage are present in some lots
  • Demand for West Coast iceberg is strong; markets are expected to be steady to slightly higher through July
