UPDATE: CAULIFLOWER

September 9, 2026

Cauliflower prices continue to climb as supplies tighten and quality challenges persist. Elevated Diamondback moth (DBM) pressure, combined with recent heat and humidity, is reducing yields and impacting overall quality. Markon Essentials (ESS) Cauliflower is available.

  • Salinas yields are expected to remain limited through next week
  • DBM activity remains elevated
  • Recent heat and moisture are expected to prolong and potentially worsen quality concerns
  • Santa Maria growers report increasing insect pressure, intensified by warm weather; lower yields will push up markets
  • Maine production is in full swing, providing additional regional supplements
  • Eastern Canadian volume remains strong; harvesting will run into early October
  • Expect cauliflower markets to remain firm and trend higher in the near term
