UPDATE: BRUSSELS SPROUTS

May 3, 2023

The market is elevated. Mexico is the primary growing region this time of year; supplies have decreased significantly. MFC and RSS Brussels Sprouts are extremely limited; packer label is being substituted.

  • Late-season quality issues, including yellowing/off color, bolting, and higher insect pressure, have significantly reduced yields in Mexico
  • Product will continue to cross from Mexico until California production begins
    • The Oxnard start date has been pushed from early May to the end of the month as the cold winter limited growth
    • Salinas Valley production is slated to begin in July but could also be delayed one to two weeks if there isn’t a significant warming trend
  • Expect firm markets and tight supplies for the next 14-21 days as demand remains strong and production is in transition
