May 09, 2019
Brussels sprouts remain extremely limited; prices continue to climb.
-
There are currently two primary Brussels sprout growing regions in North America
- Mexico – Baja, California
- California – Central Coast (Oxnard and Santa Maria)
- Yields are lower in both California and Mexico; rain and cold weather over the past several months that have stunted growth
- The Salinas/Castroville season will begin in late May, but stocks will remain tight; heavy winter rains delayed planting and tightened current supplies
- Volume will remain extremely low through June; expect high prices
