UPDATE: BROCCOLI

May 28, 2025

California

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Broccoli is being harvested in California’s Salinas and Santa Maria Valleys
  • Markets are steadily increasing but remain at or below seasonal averages
  • Sufficient supplies are forecast for the next two weeks, though acreage will drop off slightly through June and July, as regional/local deals spring up across the country
  • Quality is good; brown bead/pin rot, yellowing, hollow core, branching, and insect pressure are minimal

Mexico

  • Mexican-grown MFC Premium Broccoli continues to ship into South Texas
  • This market is more volatile than domestic, yet 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/Midwest

  • Production is wrapping up in Georgia
    • Quality is very good
    • Markets are steady at average levels
  • The North Carolina season will continue well into June
  • Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York will begin production by late June and carry into August
