Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices are falling as supplies increase in the Arizona-California desert region. Supplies and field weights are increasing due to a recent warming trend.
- The majority of the growers have transitioned production to the Arizona-California desert region
- Quality is strong
- Iceberg weights are increasing daily
- Romaine and green leaf frames are ideal
- Bottom rot, freeze damage on outer leaves, and insect pressure are minor issues being removed by field crews
- Expect markets to stabilize at low levels into next week amid weak demand and high yields
- 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
