Prices are climbing as rain, quality issues, and rising demand for the Thanksgiving holiday, reduce yields. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Brussels Sprouts remain limited; packer label is being substituted where necessary.
- California growing regions are forecast to receive significant rainfall over the weekend, minimizing supplies
- Quality is fair; discoloration, seeder, and small size are prevalent and will contribute to reduced yields and shortened shelf-life
- Expect strong demand over the next ten days as the Thanksgiving holiday pull peaks
- The Mexican season will begin in mid-December, supplementing dwindling Salinas supplies
- Expect elevated pricing and tighter supply levels through early December, with some relief after Thanksgiving as demand drops off
