News and Stories

Celery prices are elevated due to recent holiday demand and lower-than-normal industry supplies.

• Stocks are below normal levels in Oxnard, and Santa Maria, California as cold weather has slowed growth; disease pressure, such as fusarium, is also reducing yields
• Overall quality is excellent: stalks are firm with deep color
• Fields in the Imperial and Yuma desert growing regions that typically start in mid-December have been delayed 7 to 10 days by low temperatures, further limiting industry supplies
• Markets are expected to be fairly steady at elevated levels for the next two to three weeks until industry supplies increase
