Markon Best Available (MBA) Broccoli is being packed out of Salinas, California and Guanajuato, Mexico (shipping out of South Texas). 

• Although markets are typically higher than average at the end of the Salinas season, prices remain steady to slightly lower
  • Strong demand persists for California supplies, yet supplies will remain sufficient through the seasonal transition to the desert in mid-November
  • Mexican stocks are adequate; markets are much lower than those on the West Coast
• Elevated California temperatures have finally eased
  • Expect higher yields over the next 10-14 days
  • Field crews are selectively harvesting crowns to ensure uniformity and avoid sporadic quality challenges
• Harvesting out of the Midwest and East Coast has finished
  • The Eastern Canada, Maine, and New Jersey seasons will conclude within the next week
  • The southeastern region will get underway later this month, but predictions are uncertain due to heavy rains from both Hurricanes Helene and Milton
• Expect markets to soften amid increasing supplies by mid- to late October
