The green onion market continues rising rapidly. Supplies remain tight following rains and strong winds from sporadic thunderstorms in the primary growing region of Mexicali, Mexico.

• Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Washed & Trimmed Green Onions are available; packer label may be substituted when supplies do not meet Markon specifications
• Rain and wind have wiped out some mature lots; muddy field conditions have impacted harvesting
• Increased dirt and mud are expected in some final packs, along with damaged ends and mechanically damaged stalks
• Long top green onions are seeing high demand and may become limited towards the tail end of the week
• Ordering for quick turns is recommended through the rest of August as stressed plants will have decreased shelf-life potential
• Expect markets to continue rising this week and peaking within the next five to seven days as younger plantings mature and normal volume returns
