UPDATE: Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine
September 20, 2017
Green leaf, iceberg, and romaine supplies are tightening; prices will start climbing next week.
- Markon First Crop Premium Green Leaf, Iceberg, and Romaine are sporadic; Markon Best Available will be substituted as necessary
- High temperatures experienced earlier this month have caused quality problems and reduced yields
- Processors have begun purchasing fields of iceberg and romaine to supplement their raw product losses
- The Salinas Valley will experience lower-than-normal temperatures this week, slowing plant growth
- Regionally grown stocks will decline over the next several weeks, shifting demand back to the West Coast
