UPDATE: CAULIFLOWER

October 24, 2024

Markon Essentials (ESS) Cauliflower is available; packer label is being substituted as necessary.

  • Salinas and Santa Maria Valley markets are on the rise
  • Quality is average; supplies are diminishing as the end of the Salinas season nears
    • Several quality defects such as browning/discoloration, insect damage, and mildew are present
    • Lower temperatures and fewer daylight hours have slowed growth
    • Head size is not increasing as expected; nine-count packs are limited
    • Our QA teams are carefully examining fields and strategically moving harvesting crews to the best lots available
  • Markets are projected to remain elevated through October

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
