UPDATE: BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER

December 02, 2020

Increased supplies and weak post-holiday demand are causing broccoli and cauliflower prices to ease.  

  • Growers are seeing better yields as fields mature in the Arizona and California desert regions
  • Weak demand following Thanksgiving as well as COVID uncertainty has eased prices
  • This week’s cold desert weather will slow growth, but limited demand is expected to keep markets down
  • Broccoli crossings from Mexico are strong; these supplies are being used to supplement Arizona and California desert broccoli programs
  • Expect lower markets for the weeks before holiday demand starts again (pending any COVID disruptions)
