May 8, 2025

California

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Broccoli is being harvested in California’s Salinas and Santa Maria Valleys
  • Markets are steady at low levels amid tepid demand
  • Strong supply levels are forecast for the next two weeks
  • Quality is good; brown bead/pin rot, yellowing, hollow core, branching, and insect pressure are minimal
  • Expect domestic prices to remain mostly steady at low levels through mid-May

Mexico

  • Mexican-grown MFC Premium Broccoli continues to ship into South Texas
  • This market is more volatile than domestic, although prices remain comparable in both regions
  • Quality is good; sporadic hollow core following high heat and mechanical damage from packing oversized heads have been noted

East Coast

  • Georgia production will run through May
    • Quality is very good
    • Markets are steady at average levels
  • The North Carolina season starts this week and will continue well into June
