Markets are elevated and supplies are extremely limited due to quality issues severely reducing yields. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Brussels Sprouts are currently unavailable; packer label is being substituted.
- The combination of high heat and rains throughout the California season continue to impact quality and reduce yields of the Salinas-area crop
- Quality is poor; discoloration, seeder, and small sizing are prevalent, reducing overall volume
- Stocks are quickly diminishing amid higher demand; jumbos are especially limited due to excessive seeder
- Supplies will be very limited through December
- The Mexican season is anticipated to start in mid- to late December, with volumes helping to offset reduced Salinas supplies by early January 2026
- A limited supply of imported Guatemalan sprouts is available at some shipping points as a supplemental option
- Expect elevated pricing and extremely limited supplies for the next five to six weeks with relief anticipated after the Mexican season begins
