Prices are elevated; demand is strong. Updated estimates state growers lost 30% of the red grape crop and 24% of green grape harvests due to storm damage.

• Markon Essentials (ESS) Grapes are available   
• The most damage is being seen in red grapes as this crop was at peak maturity with high sugar levels at the time of the storm
• Quality is expected to be good; mold and split grapes are problems
• Quality control crews will double their efforts to ensure the best quality available upon shipping
• The California season is expected to begin in mid-July
• Expect low volume and elevated markets for the next four weeks
