Green onion prices continue to strengthen as extreme temperatures impact production in the Mexicali growing region. Elevated markets are expected to persist into early September as heat-related production challenges limit supply. Ready-Set-Serve Green Onions are available; packer label is being substituted as needed.

• Temperatures across the Mexicali growing region exceeded 110°F throughout this week
• Extreme heat is accelerating crop maturity, forcing growers to harvest fields earlier than planned
• Younger plantings are also experiencing heat-related stress, which is expected to reduce yields in the coming weeks
• Quality is generally good, though the potential for heat-related defects is growing
• Potential heat-related defects include:
  • Dehydration
  • Discoloration
  • Early decay
  • Tip burn
• Supplies are currently adequate to meet demand but are expected to tighten as production challenges persist
• Expect strong markets and higher pricing into early September
