Industry supplies have increased as new acreage enters first-cut production; however, sweet baby broccoli and broccolini supplies are experiencing increased insect activity. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) are available.

• Overall supplies have increased as new acres are being harvested
• Recent heat and humidity have accelerated insect activity across Central Coast growing regions, specifically the diamondback moth

• Warm weather for the month of September is expected to further increase diamondback moth pressure
  • Harvesting and packing crews are implementing aggressive sorting practices to remove affected product whenever possible
  • Some insect/larva presence may be unavoidable under current field conditions
• Overall quality remains good, and supplies are expected to meet specifications through the rest of California’s fall season
