Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices remain elevated due to continued strong demand in Salinas and Santa Maria, California.

• Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted when needed due to light weights
• Supplies in Guanajuato, Mexico, have been slow to recover after a hailstorm and ongoing rains, prompting processors and fresh market buyers to shift demand from Mexico to California
• East Coast supplies are average for this time of year; iceberg weights are lighter than normal with large frames and puffy texture
• California fields have returned to normal growth patterns and are no longer maturing ahead of schedule, as they had over the past three months
• Overall quality is good; fluctuating densities and insect pressure are present in some lots
• Elevated markets are expected to continue for at least the next two weeks
