Markon Best Available (MBA) Broccoli is being packed out of Salinas, California and Guanajuato, Mexico (shipping out of South Texas). 

• Markets are steady
  • California supplies are forecast to meet strong projected demand through October
  • Mexican stocks are sufficient; markets are lower than those on the West Coast
• A heat wave in California is causing quality concerns
  • Pin rot/brown bead, branching, hollow core, yellowing, and insect pressure are being monitored closely
  • Field crews are selectively harvesting crowns to ensure uniformity and acceptable quality
• Minimal regionally grown supplies out of the Midwest and East coast are available
  • The Eastern Canada, Maine, and New Jersey seasons are finished or finishing within the next week
  • The southeastern region will see supplies this month, but the season’s outlook remains uncertain due to heavy rains from Hurricane Helene
• Expect markets to inch higher throughout early to mid-October
