Broccoli markets are rising. Markon First Crop Broccoli is available; Markon Best Available is being packed where necessary due to quality concerns.

• Abnormally high temperatures continue to hamper Central Mexican growing regions and challenge quality
  • Issues like brown bead, yellow bead (shading), bracketed structure, hollow core and pest pressure are a concern this time of year
  • Increased observance of insects and insect larvae out of Mexico are of special concern and being monitored closely
• Demand for West Coast broccoli is strong; poor quality and lower yields from Mexico are driving the market upwards
• Regional deals are winding down as summer ends, further increasing demand in the Salinas and Santa Maria Valleys
• Overall industry supplies are adequate, but will become tighter through early September
