Cauliflower markets continue to climb due to low yields; warmer weather is expected to increase growth next week.

• Markon Essentials (ESS) Cauliflower is sporadically available; packer label is being substituted as necessary
• Prices remain extremely elevated; supplies are tight
• Limited yields out of the Holtville, California and Yuma, Arizona growing regions are pushing pricing upwards
  • Quality is fairly good; size is skewed towards smaller heads
  • Inconsistent weather has hindered growth industry-wide; both day and nighttime temperatures are below seasonal averages
  • Production is several weeks behind normal; cold weather forced growers to harvest ahead of schedule

• Reduced demand during the holidays and next week’s warmer weather will aid growth
• Markets are projected to reach their peak this week and then decline rapidly as ample supplies enter the market
