California
- Markon Best Available (MBA) Broccoli is being harvested in California’s Salinas Valley
- Quality ranges from fair to good; issues such as pin rot, yellowing, and systemic mildew are being reported
- Pest pressure from aphids and Diamondback moth pupa/larvae remains a significant challenge as the region faces higher temperatures
- Supplies are available in Monterey County (Salinas Valley) and Santa Barbara County (Santa Maria Valley and Lompoc Valley)
- West Coast volume will remain lower through late August as a result of regional and local harvests taking place across the country
- Expect elevated markets for the next 7-10 days
Mexico
- Mexican-grown MBA Broccoli continues to ship into South Texas
- Prices are trending higher, though minimal demand is keeping markets a bit lower than those on the West Coast
- Quality is poor; defects such as cat eye, hollow core, and pin rot are prevalent; insect damage is also present in this region
- High temperatures and tropical weather will continue in this region through the late fall, keeping quality below-average through November
East Coast/Midwest/Canada
- Supply levels are at their peak in many regional and local seasons
- Production will run through October in Maine; quality is great with no insect pressure being reported, but overall availability is low
- Limited supplies will also ship from Eastern Canada and North Carolina through September, weather permitting
