News and Stories

Green leaf and romaine prices continue to rise. Supplies are extremely limited.  

• Demand remains very strong
• An initial surplus of romaine was anticipated following the Canadian Food Inspection Agency test and hold mandate; however, supplies have tightened, resulting in even higher markets
• Industry volume continues to be heavily impacted by the soilborne diseases Sclerotinia and Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus that are reducing harvestable heads at the field level
• Erratic weather over the past two months has resulted in inconsistent field weights and yields; fringe burn, mildew pressure, and seeder are present in some lots
• Supplies will remain tight until growing regions transition to the Arizona and California deserts in early to mid-November
• Expect elevated markets through October
