UPDATE: CILANTRO

July 30, 2024

Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Washed & Trimmed Cilantro is available.

  • Despite a rebound in mid- to late July, volume has fallen this week amid reduced acreage and strong demand
  • Quality concerns across Southern and Central California (Oxnard, Santa Maria, and Salinas Valley) are on the rise
  • Markon inspectors are reporting quality problems due to persistent heat
    • Thick stems, wide leaves, seeder/bolting, damaged, yellow, and spotted leaves are issues
    • DCs are strongly advised to adjust order patterns for increased turns due to short shelf-life concerns
  • Expect volatile/elevated prices through the month of August

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
