UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

September 8, 2025

Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices continue to trend lower following warmer weather and increased supplies in Salinas and Santa Maria, California.

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine Lettuces are available
  • Overall quality is good
    • Fluctuating densities and varying degrees of insect pressure are being reported, but avoided or mitigated at harvest
    • Disease pressure is also an issue, though not enough to significantly impact industry supplies at this time
  • Salinas acreage is lower, by design, at this time of year
    • The Colorado season has ended
    • Production is ongoing in Michigan, the East Coast, and Canada; quality and yields are typical for each growing region, distributing demand across multiple areas
  • Expect lower markets this week, but prices may firm next week as supplies normalize in Salinas and Santa Maria
