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

• Salinas and Santa Maria markets have reached their peak; moving forward prices will soften
• Expect a wide range in pricing and quality
  • Some quality defects such as browning/yellowing, insect pressure, and undersized heads are being reported
  • Despite falling yields, weak demand is helping to alleviate markets
• The Arizona-California desert season is ramping up slowly but quality and volume reports are positive
  • ESS Cauliflower production will transition to the Arizona-California desert region on November 25
  • Some suppliers are shifting to this region earlier than planned
• Markets will inch down a bit this week, but volatile pricing will persist through November as growers move to new crop regions
