Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices are steady to slightly lower, as supplies rebound following the recent cold snap.
- Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf and Romaine are sporadic; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as needed
- MFC Premium Iceberg Lettuce is available
- Following January’s freezing temperatures, February’s warmer weather has increased field weights but resulted in quality challenges in some lots
- Epidermal blistering and peeling are becoming more prevalent
- Inconsistent plant growth has reduced harvestable yields
- Insect pressure is on the rise
- Demand is moderate
- Despite these issues, ample supplies and depressed markets are forecast through February, at minimum
