• Three to four weeks remain in the Salinas-area growing season; high heat and rains throughout the California season have heavily impacted quality and reduced yields
• Quality is poor; discoloration, puffiness, seeder, and small size are prevalent, diminishing overall volume
• Large sizes have been especially affected by quality problems; jumbos are currently unavailable due to shelf-life challenges
• California supplies will remain limited through December
• The Mexican season is anticipated to start in mid- to late December, helping to offset reduced Salinas supplies by January 2026
• A limited supply of imported Guatemalan sprouts is available at South Texas shipping points as a supplemental option over the next several weeks
• Expect elevated prices and extremely limited supplies for the next five weeks; relief is anticipated after the Mexican season begins
