June 14, 2021

Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine markets are rising due to strong demand.  

  • Markon First Crop Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are available; Markon Best Available is being substituted as needed
  • Demand continues to strengthen weekly as COVID restrictions are removed; additionally, some buyers are loading as much product as possible prior to the upcoming heatwave in the Salinas Valley
  • Current quality is very good; although, growth crack, fringe burn, and internal burn are expected to become more prevalent following sustained elevated temperatures
  • Expect higher prices over the next two weeks at minimum
