UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

May 30, 2025

Green leaf prices remain steady at lower levels due to abundant supplies. Iceberg weights have rebounded, pushing prices lower. Romaine markets are steady to slightly higher due to quality issues.

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted sporadically due to low weights
  • Recent weather patterns in the Salinas Valley have led to an increase in insect pressure and mildew; warm weather forecast today and tomorrow will further promote insect presence
  • Disease pressure continues to be manageable; some growers are reporting increased levels of Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (INSV); however, it is not widespread
  • Steady markets are expected into mid-June, barring a significant increase in disease pressure affecting yields
