Markon First Crop (MFC) and Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Brussels Sprouts are available.

• The Mexican season is ending; supplies are nearly depleted
• California’s Oxnard and Santa Maria seasons are underway; Salinas Valley production is just getting started
• Size is dominated by medium and small sprouts
  • Remaining 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 in Mexico
• Prices are forecast to ease gradually throughout the next two to three weeks as harvesting begins to transition north
