UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

October 24, 2024

Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are limited in Huron and Salinas, California; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as needed due to low weights

  • Supply levels are lower than in prior weeks
    • Growers in Huron and the Salinas Valley are harvesting remaining acreage ahead of the move to the Arizona/California desert region in early to mid-November
    • Oxnard will supplement iceberg and romaine supplies as needed until the desert season is underway
    • The short Oxnard season will continue through mid-November
  • Quality is fair
    • Disease pressure, fringe burn, insect damage, and seeder are present in most fields
    • Markon Quality Assurance is working closely with growers to identify the best lots
  • Prices are slightly higher; expect active markets until the Arizona/California desert regions ramp up in mid- to late November
