UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

June 07, 2019

Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine supplies are limited; prices are rising.

  • Since the industry completed its transition back to the Salinas Valley in the spring, markets have been sluggish and depressed
  • The season had a cooler-than-normal start
    • Stocks have decreased due to gaps in planting schedules
    • Supply no longer exceeds demand
  • Quality issues are being reported from the fields; expect lower harvestable yields in the coming weeks
