UPDATE: BRUSSELS SPROUTS

May 31, 2023

The market remains elevated. Mexico continues to be the primary growing region; supplies are tight.

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) and Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Brussels Sprouts are limited; packer label is being substituted as needed
  • Late-season quality issues, including yellowing/off color, bolting, and insect pressure, have significantly reduced yields in Mexico
  • The size profile is heavily skewed to smaller sprouts, as growers must harvest immature fields; jumbo-size sprouts are scarce
  • Domestic sprouts are being harvested in Oxnard, California; Salinas, California production will begin in July
  • Industry supplies will be extremely limited for the next two weeks at minimum; availability will increase as domestic production ramps up
