Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Broccoli is being harvested in Arizona, Northern Mexico, and Central Mexico (loading in South Texas).
Arizona/California Desert and California’s Central Coast
- Markets are steady at moderate-to-lower levels in all regions, but are poised to rise following persistently cool weather
- Supplies are currently widely available but will begin trending lower
- Low temperatures and overnight frosts are hindering crown maturity; recent strong winds are dehydrating plants and slowing growth
- New crop Arizona/California desert region quality is strong; color is consistently green, mechanical damage is minimal, and insect pressure is low
- Limited production also continues in Santa Maria, California
- Expect industrywide prices to rise alongside rising demand
Mexico
- Mexican-grown MFC Broccoli is available in South Texas; quality is very good amid mostly temperate and dry conditions
- High temperatures are hovering around the mid-70s to near 80 through the middle of the week, before some slight cooling brings 60s to 70s through Friday afternoon
- Markets are steady to lower this week, but pricing is like the Arizona/California desert growing region
- Expect pricing to remain lower and better availability over the next two to three weeks as domestic markets rise and supplies fall
