UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE PRICES DECLINING

December 5, 2024

Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices are falling as supplies increase in the Arizona-California desert region. Supplies and field weights are increasing due to a recent warming trend.

  • The majority of the growers have transitioned production to the Arizona-California desert region
    • Quality is strong
    • Iceberg weights are increasing daily
    • Romaine and green leaf frames are ideal
    • Bottom rot, freeze damage on outer leaves, and insect pressure are minor issues being removed by field crews
  • Expect markets to stabilize at low levels into next week amid weak demand and high yields
  • 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
