MFC Premium Broccoli is being harvested in the Arizona/California desert, Northern Mexico, and Central Mexico (loading in South Texas).  

Arizona/California Desert, California’s Central Coast, Northern Mexico

• Markets remain steady to slightly higher this week, yet still below average; supplies are widely available
• Sporadic dehydration, minor branching, and hollow core defects may present following a short heat spike in the desert last week
• Despite some minor rain and gusty winds, seasonally average temperatures will return through next week, aiding growth and promoting strong quality
• Limited production is ongoing in Santa Maria, California
• Expect domestic prices to creep up next week amid stronger demand

Central Mexico

• Central Mexican-grown MFC Premium Broccoli is available in South Texas
• Quality is great, though elevated insect pressure has been noted in sporadic lots
• Markets have risen amid uncertainty surrounding trade policy
  • The tariffs have incentivized suppliers to increase prices
  • The spread between the domestic and Mexican markets has shrunk this week under that upward price pressure
• Due to the rapidly evolving situation, expect continued market volatility out of this region
