California’s San Joaquin Valley and Southern California citrus growing districts are forecast to receive a series of heavy rain events starting Thursday, November 13 through Monday, November 17. Expect harvesting delays, tight supplies, and higher markets next week.

• Markon First Crop (MFC) and Markon Essentials (ESS) Lemons and Oranges are available.
• Growers cannot harvest fruit when orchards are wet
  • If picked when wet, the rind will break down, and discoloration will develop
  • Mud and standing water may limit crews’ ability to get equipment into groves
  • Markon has requested that suppliers pack ahead of this rain event
• Current quality is excellent; supplies are adequate
