UPDATE: ICEBERG AND ROMAINE

August 03, 2020

Iceberg prices are decreasing. The romaine market is fairly steady at elevated levels.

  • Foodservice demand for iceberg and romaine is inconsistent, but growing overall compared to past weeks
  • Iceberg quality is excellent: field weights and yields are increasing
  • Romaine quality is strong: occasional fringe and internal burn is present in some lots
  • Tropical Storm Isaias is expected to impact East Coast stocks, shifting more demand to the West Coast
  • Barring any significant COVID developments, expect elevated romaine markets and softer iceberg markets over the next two to three weeks
