Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices are falling rapidly as demand weakens. Supplies and field weights continue to increase due to a recent warming trend.
- The majority of the growers have transitioned production to the Arizona-California desert regions
- Quality is strong; iceberg weights remain low but are increasing daily
- 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
- Expect the markets to decline into next week amid weak demand due to the Thanksgiving holiday
- 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
