UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

July 23, 2025

Iceberg prices are firming as supplies quickly tighten and demand rebounds. Green leaf and romaine markets are fairly steady.

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine Lettuces are available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted when needed due to low weights
  • Overall quality is very good; fluctuating density and head size, insect pressure, and internal burn continue to be present in some lots
  • Salinas Valley iceberg demand is strengthening once again
    • Some growers are entering lower acreage for the second half of this week
    • Processors are also searching for additional acreage to supplement their programs
  • Green leaf and romaine demand is level; supplies are sufficient
  • Expect climbing iceberg markets into next week; green and romaine prices shouldn’t fluctuate much
