Cilantro supplies are sufficient to meet current demand; however, markets are trending higher as weather-related quality challenges impact growing regions in California and Central Mexico
- Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Cilantro is available; packer label is being substituted when necessary
- Supplies remain adequate to support demand in both Salinas and Oxnard, California
- Quality ranges from fair to good
- Elevated temperatures and humidity in California are contributing to increased insect and disease pressure, along with bolting and seeder development
- Seasonal rainfall in Central Mexico is causing yellowing, early decay, and reduced shelf life on imported product
- Mexican imports remain available, though quality has declined due to ongoing monsoonal conditions
- Salinas production is expected to continue into the early fall, desert region harvests will gradually increase over the coming months
- Expect slightly higher markets with intermittent quality issues into the first week of September
