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

Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.
