UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE HARVESTING TRANSITION

November 16, 2023

The green leaf, iceberg, and romaine harvesting transition to the Arizona/California desert is nearly completed.

  • Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are being packed regularly; Markon Best Available (MBA) will be substituted as needed due to low weights
  • Limited supplies are being shipped from the Salinas and Santa Maria Valleys; Markon branded packs are being harvested exclusively in the desert, as of today
  • Quality is very good; texture is ideal but head weights are low in some lots
  • Iceberg markets are easing as supplies ramp up in the desert and Thanksgiving holiday demand subsides
  • Green leaf and romaine prices are expected to remain steady into December
