Markets continue to escalate as the Arizona-California desert season winds down; supplies are limited. Markon Essentials (ESS) Cauliflower is available; packer label is being substituted as necessary.

• Production is ending in the Arizona-California desert region; supplies will ship through early April
• The Salinas Valley season is ramping up
• Volume is minimal in Santa Maria, California; heavy rain has limited yields, driving overall prices higher
• Quality ranges from fair to good; discoloration/black spotting, bruising, and smaller head size are occasional problems
• Warmer desert weather is forecast through the rest of the Yuma season; high daytime and nighttime temperatures will increase growth
• Prices will continue to climb this week, then stabilize within the next 10-14 days as the Salinas season starts
