UPDATE: GREEN ONIONS

August 17, 2026

Green onion prices are rising due to extreme heat affecting production. Elevated markets and heat-related quality concerns are expected throughout August. Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Green Onions are available; packer label is being substituted as needed.

  • Temperatures across the Mexicali growing region are forecast to exceed 110°F throughout this week
  • Extreme heat is impacting both mature fields and younger plantings, resulting in lighter yields
  • Quality is generally good
  • Potential heat-related defects include:
    • Dehydration
    • Discoloration
    • Early decay
    • Tip burn
  • Supplies are currently steady but are expected to tighten as production challenges persist
  • Expect strong markets and higher pricing through the remainder of August and into early September
