UPDATE: BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER

August 20, 2020

Broccoli and cauliflower prices will be active through the end of August.  

  • Harvesting crews are limited by hazardous working conditions in the Salinas Valley, consisting of heavy smoke and ash in the air
  • Abnormally hot weather has slowed maturity, creating a supply gap
  • Mexican broccoli shipments (into South Texas) are normal for this time of year
  • Expect active markets as harvesting continues to be affected by smoke and ash, and as fields recover from the heat-related supply gap
