Green onion prices remain elevated, and supplies remain tight following persistent heat and sporadic thunderstorms in the primary growing region of Mexicali, Mexico.

• Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Washed & Trimmed Green Onions are available; packer label may be substituted when supplies do not meet Markon specifications

• Yields were reduced by fast-moving storm systems that wiped out many mature lots in early August

• Persistent heat has slowed the growth of younger plantings, keeping industry supplies limited
• Demand is strong for long top green onions; stocks will tighten by weeks’ end
• Ordering for quick turns is recommended through the rest of August, as stressed plants will have decreased shelf-life potential
• Expect markets to remain elevated for the next three weeks, as younger plantings mature and supplier inventories increase
