UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

April 01, 2021

Green leaf and romaine markets are fairly steady. Iceberg prices are lower due to increased supplies and higher weights in all growing regions. Markon First Crop Iceberg is being shipped; Markon Best Available is being substituted as needed.

  • Demand continues to increase as COVID-19-related indoor dining restrictions are eased
  • Quality is very good
  • Iceberg weights have increased
  • Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine volume remains high in the Arizona/California desert this week; the majority of growers will finish the season next week
    • The Huron and Santa Maria, California seasons are underway
    • Harvesting will ramp up in Salinas, California next week
  • Prices are expected to remain fairly steady as the Arizona/California desert enters the final weeks of the season and growers continue to transition to the Salinas Valley
