UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

February 13, 2025

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
