UPDATE: ARUGULA AND TENDER LEAF VARIETIES

January 17, 2024

Supplies of tender leaf/spring mix varieties are limited in the Arizona and California growing regions.

  • Freezing temperatures in California’s Imperial Valley and Yuma, Arizona the past two weeks has taken a toll on tender leaf items
  • Abnormally low temperatures have slowed plant maturity; yellowing leaves and product breakdown are main quality challenges
  • Markon brand suppliers are meeting Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Spring Mix and RSS Heritage Blend demand but are struggling to cover 100% of RSS Arugula orders
  • Arugula supplies are the tightest within the tender leaf category due to sensitivity to abnormally low temperatures

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
