Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine supplies are ample in the Arizona-California desert region.
- Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are available
- A recent warming trend in the Arizona-California desert increased field weights and supplies of all lettuce crops
- Weather patterns have shifted this week, resulting in the first significant lettuce ice events of the season
- Current quality is strong with ideal densities
- Continued lettuce ice events will degrade quality
- Dehydration, epidermal blister/peel, and lower weights are anticipated in the coming weeks
- Although holiday demand is strong, markets are steady to slightly lower due to abundant supplies
- Expect persistently weak prices through the end of the year, despite lettuce ice events, as demand subsides
