Iceberg markets are inching down. Green leaf and romaine prices are fairly steady at low levels.

Iceberg

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Iceberg Lettuce is available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted sporadically due to low weights.

• California quality is very good; some fields are uneven in density and size, but heads are being sorted at harvest
• Supplies have been limited in Central Mexico due to extended periods of dry, hot weather; this has shifted demand to the West Coast
• East Coast regional production will start in late June to early July, supplementing industry availability and easing prices
• Expect markets to continue decreasing through June into July

Green Leaf and Romaine

• MFC Premium Green Leaf and Romaine Lettuces are readily available
• California quality is very good; insect pressure and wind damage are being reported in some lots
• East Coast regional production will start in late June to early July, reducing demand on the West Coast
• Expect weak prices through June and into July
