Broccoli prices continue to escalate as volume has fallen in the Arizona-California desert regions.
Arizona-California Desert
- Markon First Crop (MFC) Broccoli is available
- Supplies are limited; abnormal weather patterns during the Yuma, Arizona and Imperial Valley, California seasons have resulted in quality issues and lower availability
- Quality is good; pin rot and yellowing are present in some fields, but are being avoided at harvest
- Expect prices to remain elevated into February
Mexico
- Mexican-grown MFC Broccoli is available in South Texas
- Warm, dry growing conditions are forecast for the next few weeks which will increase supplies
- Quality is very good; occasional mechanical damage has been reported
- Markets are climbing higher to match West Coast activity
East Coast
- The Georgia season has ended; harvests are set to resume in April
- The Florida season is ramping up; marketable volume is expected February through April
- Quality is great; expect uniform size, shape, and coloring with minimal yellowing
- Prices will remain high into February until volume out of Florida increases
