Rising heat and persistent labor issues have kept markets extremely elevated. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Brussels Sprouts are limited.

• High temperatures are reducing supplies and limiting harvests in Mexico

• The season is past its peak production and entering the hottest months of the year
• • The majority of supplies are being harvested in Mexico at this time, severely limiting availability
  • Hot weather is leading to quality problems such as discoloration, yellow leaves, seeder/elongated sprouts, and reduced value-added shelf-life
• The Oxnard, California season has started in a limited manner; acreage is minimal
• Jumbo sprouts are extremely scarce, as growers must harvest at earlier stages to fill current demand and prevent additional quality issues that may develop with additional days in the ground
• Low volume and elevated prices will persist through the next three to four weeks; expect relief in late June or early July when the Salinas season begins
