Markon Best Available (MBA) Broccoli is being shipped in both Mexico (into South Texas) and Salinas, California; packer label is being substituted as needed to fill orders.

• Markets are rising as supplies are tightening across all regions this week
• Volume is low out of East Coast and Midwestern regions, including Toronto, Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Indiana, and the Carolinas
  • Heavy East Coast rains and extreme heat across the nation have led to various levels of pin rot, branching, and yellowing
  • Canadian product, while limited, is exhibiting the strongest available quality at this time for East Coast customers
• Mexican-grown product (crossing into South Texas) is available at a slight FOB savings, but elevated insect pressure and branchy crowns are quality problems
• Expect prices to continue rising across all markets throughout the month of August, and begin to tail off by mid- to late September when acreage increases in California and Georgia
