UPDATE: CAULIFLOWER

March 12, 2025

Markets are rising as demand strengthens and supplies tighten. Markon Essentials (ESS) Cauliflower is available; packer label is being substituted as necessary.

  • Production is winding down in the California/Arizona desert region
    • Harvesting will begin in Salinas, California in late March/early April
    • Minimal volume is shipping from Santa Maria, California
  • Quality is fairly good, but this week’s rain is expected to cause discoloration/black spotting, bruising, and reduced shelf-life; suppliers are packing ahead to mitigate these issues
  • Pricing will continue to climb through March, as yields in the desert diminish and demand increases
