Cilantro markets range from steady to slightly higher; quality will improve over next several weeks with better weather forecast across Central California and Arizona/California desert growing regions.

• Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Cilantro is available
• Inclement weather across the Salinas and Oxnard growing regions through the late summer and autumn caused persistent quality challenges in value-added cilantro
• Suppliers are harvesting primarily in the Oxnard and the Arizona-California desert regions
• After recent rainfall delayed some production, optimal growing conditions are now forecast with warm, dry weather expected over the next week
• Quality has been below average, but will improve over the next few weeks barring any further weather challenges
  • Yellowing, seeder, discoloration, thick stems, and overall reduced shelf-life have been reported
  • Expect improved quality in value-added cilantro packs as weather conditions allow
