UPDATE: BRUSSELS SPROUTS
May 21, 2021
The Brussels sprouts market is inching up due to reduced supplies in Central Mexico.
-
Baja Mexico, Central Mexico, and Oxnard, California are the current primary growing regions
- The Santa Maria season is scheduled to start in early June
- Salinas Valley production will follow in early July
-
Quality is diminished in supplies from Central Mexico due to elevated temperatures that are causing discoloration and increasing insect pressure
- Growing conditions in Baja and Oxnard remain ideal
- Markon orders are being filled with product from Baja and Oxnard for best quality
- Expect prices to continue rising over the next two weeks, until the Santa Maria harvest begins
