Iceberg markets are inching up as many current and soon-to-be-harvested fields are lightweight. Green leaf and romaine markets are low; supplies are ample.

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are available; Markon Best Available (MBA) may being substituted as needed due to low weights
• The Arizona/California desert growing season will conclude this week; only a few growers remain active in this region
• Production is winding down in Huron, California; final harvests will take place the week of April 20
• Iceberg and romaine production will continue in Oxnard through early May
• The Salinas and Santa Maria seasons continue to ramp up
  • Many iceberg fields are uneven in size and density due to inconsistent growing conditions
  • Lightweight fields require additional acreage for processors to yield the same output, pushing the market higher
• Markon’s key Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) processors will begin breaking down lines in Yuma, Arizona on Thursday, April 10 in order to be ready for shipments in Salinas, California on Monday, April 14
