UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

December 1, 2022

Green leaf and romaine supplies are increasing as production in the Arizona and California desert continues to ramp up. Iceberg supplies remain extremely limited, but orders are being covered in full.

Green Leaf and Romaine

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf is readily available; MFC Romaine is being packed regularly with Markon Best Available (MBA) being substituted as needed due to light weights
  • Quality is very good; fringe burn and epidermal blister/peel are present in some lots following high winds and cool temperatures
  • Markets are weaker and are anticipated to continue to decline in the coming weeks, pending a severe lettuce ice event

Iceberg

  • MFC Premium Iceberg is not available; MBA is being substituted due to continued light weights
  • Quality is good; light weights, epidermal blister/peel, and fluctuating densities are present in most lots
  • Markets have plateaued and are expected to remain steady for the next two weeks at minimum
