Iceberg prices are escalating.
- Markon First Crop (MFC) is available; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted when needed due to low weights
- Supplies have quickly tightened in Salinas and Santa Maria, California this week
- A severe hailstorm moved through Guanajuato, Mexico late last week, shifting processor and fresh market demand from Mexico to California
- Supplies have naturally tightened in Salinas and Santa Maria over the past week, as normal weather patterns return in California
- Iceberg maturity is falling back to normal growth patterns, and not maturing faster than normal, as we have been witnessing over the past three months
- As supplies fall into their normal summer pattern and demand increases due to Mexico’s supply challenges caused by the recent storm, prices will rise
- Expect higher prices and strong demand through next week
