UPDATE: CAULIFLOWER

November 21, 2024

Markon Essentials (ESS) Cauliflower is available; packer label is being substituted as necessary.

  • The Salinas and Santa Maria, California seasons are ending
    • Strong Thanksgiving demand and limited supplies are driving the market upwards
    • Quality defects include discoloration, dark spotting, and small heads
    • Rain is forecast through the weekend, which may further limit yields in Salinas depending on the severity of rainfall
  • The Yuma, Arizona growing region is ramping up slowly
    • Production is off to a slow start; cold weather is stunting growth
    • ESS Cauliflower will begin harvesting on November 29
    • Heads are an off-white cream color, but overall quality remains good
  • Expect elevated pricing until December as Yuma fields ramp up
