UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE
May 13, 2021
Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine markets remain depressed. An abundance of supply and moderate demand is holding prices at low levels.
-
Demand continues to be moderate at best
- Supplies far exceed demand
- Reduced transportation capacity is also limiting produce movement
- Field weights in Salinas, California are ideal for Markon First Crop (MFC) Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine
- Quality is very good: minor growth crack, internal burn, and wind damage are present in some lots
- Expect low prices through May and into early June, at minimum
