UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

January 6, 2025

Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine supplies remain abundant in the Arizona-California desert regions.

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are available
  • Quality is excellent
    • Heads possess ideal weights and densities
    • Minor insect pressure is present in some lots
  • Sporadic lettuce ice is occurring this week, depending on field location, with minor delays of only one hour before thawing prior to harvest
  • Although post-holiday demand rebounded, Storm Blair is bringing cold temperatures and heavy snowfall to Central and East Coast states, weakening demand once more
  • Markets are forecast to remain steady at low levels through mid-January, at minimum
