Cauliflower markets have rapidly declined this week.

• Markon Essentials (ESS) Cauliflower is available in Salinas, California
• Lower prices are due to:
  • Favorable weather pushing growth ahead of schedule in the Salinas and Santa Maria Valleys
  • Growers are harvesting remaining fields before new crop desert supplies start shipping in November
• Quality ranges from fair to good; discoloration/dark spotting, leafy curds, and elevated insect pressure are affecting some lots
• Prices are expected to climb by mid- to late next week and remain volatile through November as production transitions south

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
