News and Stories

Green cabbage supplies are tightening. Prices are rising.

• Erratic weather in the Salinas Valley, including two heatwaves over the past five weeks, followed by a period of cooler-than-normal temperatures, have reduced head size and overall yields
• With yields down, processors are requiring more acreage to produce the same output, limiting industry supplies further
• Volume in New York and Canada has been reduced by higher-than-average rainfall in July and August; the New Jersey and North Carolina seasons will ramp up in 10 to 14 days, increasing East Coast stocks
• West Coast markets will remain elevated through the rest of the Salinas Valley season
