Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices are declining from elevated levels, as holiday demand subsides, and supplies increase in the Arizona and California desert regions.

• The majority of the growers have transitioned production to the Arizona-California desert regions
  • Quality is strong
  • Bottom rot, sun scalding, and seeder are minor issues
• Limited harvests continue in Salinas, Santa Maria, and Huron, California; supplies will be fully depleted by the end of this week
• Markets are easing from elevated levels, as holiday demand subsides and supplies increase in the desert region
• While the first weeks of the desert season have been unseasonably cold, a slight warming trend into next week will help promote growth
• Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf and Romaine are available
• MFC Iceberg is sporadic; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as needed due to low weights
