UPDATE: READY-SET-SERVE ICEBERG AND ROMAINE

October 12, 2022

Iceberg and romaine supplies continue to be extremely limited.

  • Erratic weather patterns of extreme heat followed by rain have compounded quality issues
    • Bottom rot, fringe burn, mildew pressure, seeder, and sun scald are present in current lots
    • Fluctuating densities and extremely light weights are prevalent throughout the industry
  • Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (INSV) and Sclerotinia disease pressure has forced suppliers to cut ahead of their scheduled harvests to minimize crop loss
  • Expect elevated markets until transitions to Yuma, Arizona and California’s Imperial desert are completed in mid-November
