Prices are low; supplies are ample in the Arizona-California desert region; Florida markets are average; stocks are limited. Markon First Crop (MFC) Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine Lettuces is available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted sporadically.
- Supplies are plentiful in the Arizona-California desert region for the short term
- Quality is good; appearance and weights are below average due to recent frost and strong winds, but overall, product is clean
- Growers report a wide range of maturity and weights
- Florida is in peak season; however, most volume is program business with limited availability
- Prices are higher than in Arizona-California
- Quality is good, but weights are lighter on average than in Arizona/California
- The season will run through late March/early April
- Expect this high volume/low price situation to be short-lived
- Markets will rise in early February as growers enter a supply gap; expect much higher prices and limited supplies for February and March
