UPDATE: ICEBERG AND ROMAINE

July 21, 2020

Iceberg and romaine prices are rising.

  • Foodservice demand started to increase last week and will continue to get stronger this week 
  • Demand is focused in the Salinas Valley, although some orders are shifting to regional harvesting areas such as Canada, the East Coast, and the Midwest 
  • Quality is excellent; however, field weights are lighter, lowering overall yields
  • Markets were previously forecast to remain flat, but these recent circumstances have caused an uptick that will persist into August, barring any significant COVID developments
