UPDATE: BRUSSELS SPROUTS
June 14, 2024
- Markon First Crop (MFC) and Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Brussels Sprouts are limited
- The Mexican season is ending; supplies are nearly depleted
- California’s Oxnard and Santa Maria seasons are underway; Salinas Valley supplies will come online in early to mid-July
- Size is dominated by medium and small sprouts
- Mexican supplies are being harvested ahead of scheduled maturity dates in order to finish remaining acres and avoid pest and heat-related issues
- Domestic stocks are being harvested earlier than scheduled to meet demand
- Quality concerns are on the rise due to small size, including puffy texture, bitter taste (seeder), and heavy insect pressure
- Prices are forecast to rise gradually throughout the next two to three weeks as harvesting begins to transition north
