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
