Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Broccoli is available in Yuma, Arizona and Mexico (loading in South Texas).
Arizona/California Desert
- Supplies are readily available
- New crop Arizona/California desert region supplies are exhibiting strong quality
- Recent weather has provided ideal growing conditions, but some fields are experiencing overnight frosts that will reduce yields and cause smaller crown sizing
- Weak demand is forecast to end the year; markets will be lower over the next 7-10 days as supplies continue to come online
Mexico
- Mexican grown product, shipping out South Texas, is adequate; quality ranges from good to very good
- Markets remain lower than the West Coast; potential FOB cost and freight savings are diminishing as domestic markets trend lower
- Expect industry wide prices to remain steady to slightly lower as volume continues increasing next month and demand normalizes
