UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

January 15, 2026

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
