UPDATE: GREEN LEAF, ICEBERG, AND ROMAINE

July 09, 2021

Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine prices are fairly steady.   

  • Markon First Crop Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are available
  • Demand is down slightly this week after strong movement last week; however, order volume continues to trend above recent weeks
  • Supplies in Salinas and Santa Maria, California are sufficiently meeting current demand
  • Quality is very good: fringe burn, internal burn, and uneven weights are present in some lots
  • Regional East Coast lettuce crops may be damaged by Tropical Storm Elsa as heavy rains and sustained winds exceeding 40 MPH with gusts up to 65 MPH are forecast
  • Prices are expected to remain steady in the coming weeks, pending any significant East Coast lettuce crop loss
