Iceberg markets are quickly rising. Romaine prices are inching up. Green leaf markets are steady.
- Markon First Crop (MFC) Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine Lettuces are available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted sporadically
- Iceberg and romaine supplies are tightening in the Arizona-California desert region as yields decline, stemming from rains earlier this season
- Additionally, fields are 10 to 21 days ahead of schedule as the desert region has not experienced long-term cold temperatures or significant lettuce ice events
- Florida lettuce supplies are limited
- Cold weather stalled growth over the weekend
- More low temperatures are forecast for early next week
- Mexican stocks (crossing into South Texas) are steady; quality is strong due to ideal growing conditions
- Expect much higher prices through February, at a minimum
