Cabbage markets are elevated; supplies are tight.

• The heatwaves experienced in June have reduced yields at the field level
  • Disease/insect pressure and more seeder core have developed
• • Lower yields per acre have significantly reduced availability for processors, driving the general market higher
• Central Coastal California suppliers harvested ahead of schedule last month to avoid quality issues, causing a supply gap until second plantings mature
• East Coast cabbage stocks remain limited
  • The Eastern North Carolina season is finished, while Western North Carolina volume is low
  • Production is getting underway in Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York
• Expect limited supplies and elevated prices over the next 10-14 days
