Iceberg markets continue to decline rapidly. Romaine prices are lowering as well; green leaf markets are fairly steady.
Iceberg
- Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Iceberg Lettuce is available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted sporadically due to low weights
- Quality is very good; some fields are uneven in density and texture, but heads are easily sorted at harvest
- Supplies have increased as growers work past the planting gap caused by early spring rains
- Expect markets to continue lowering through June with ideal growing conditions
Green Leaf and Romaine
- MFC Premium Green Leaf and Romaine Lettuces are readily available
- Quality is very good; insect pressure and wind damage are being reported in some lots, but are being removed at harvest
- Green leaf markets are anticipated to remain steady, at depressed levels, through June
- Romaine prices are expected to continue declining through June
