UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

July 7, 2023

Green leaf and iceberg prices are easing due to increased supplies in Salinas and Santa Maria, California. Romaine markets are fairly steady.

Green Leaf and Romaine

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf and Romaine are readily available
  • Green leaf and romaine quality is good; fringe burn, internal burn, and insect pressure are present in some lots
  • Markets are expected to remain steady at low levels through July

Iceberg

  • MFC Premium Iceberg is currently being packed; Markon Best Available (MBA) may be substituted due to low weights
  • Weights have increased following a recent warming trend; temperatures have cooled but they will increase again next week
  • California iceberg demand is moderately elevated as Guanajuato and Querétaro, Mexico, continue to struggle with reduced quality and lower yields following inclement weather
  • Markets are expected to continue inching down over the next 7 to 10 days
