UPDATE: BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER

December 08, 2020

Strong demand and slow plant growth are causing broccoli and cauliflower markets to climb.  

  • Yields are down; recent cold temperatures have hindered crop maturity
  • Demand has rebounded faster than was forecast, putting a strain on availability
  • Mexican supplies are plentiful and being used to supplement Arizona/California desert broccoli programs
  • Demand is expected to stay strong through the holiday loading window, pending any COVID disruption
