Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices continue to decline amid weak demand and abundant supplies.
- Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine Lettuces are available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being subbed sporadically when weights don’t meet specifications
- Overall quality is good
- Fluctuating densities, insect pressure, mildew, and seeder are being reported, but avoided or mitigated at harvest
- Disease pressure continues to reduce yields, but the overall impact to supply levels is minimal
- Light rain is forecast through the end of the week; 0.04” to 0.08” per day is expected per day
- Markon is working with grower-shippers to harvest ahead of the rain daily to ensure coverage
- Any harvests completed during the rain will be covered to maintain dry and sound cartons
- Expect lower markets through the balance of this week; prices may inch up next week if quality issues increase following rain
