UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE MARKETS DECLINING

November 21, 2024

Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices are falling rapidly as demand weakens. Supplies and field weights continue to increase due to a recent warming trend.

  • The majority of the growers have transitioned production to the Arizona-California desert regions
    • Quality is strong; iceberg weights remain low but are increasing daily
    • Bottom rot, sun scalding, and seeder are minor issues
  • Limited harvests continue in Salinas, Santa Maria, and Huron, California; supplies will be fully depleted by the end of this week
  • Expect the markets to decline into next week amid weak demand due to the Thanksgiving holiday
  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf and Romaine are available
  • MFC Iceberg is sporadic; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as needed due to low weights
