• California supplies are limited due to abnormally high heat received in mid-August as well as increased demand from the USDA Food Box Program
  • The recent heatwave in the Salinas Valley has reduced available supplies; weather-related defects such as internal burn, seeder, sun scalding, and dehydration will be present in finished packs over the next few weeks
  • Another heatwave is forecast for California’s Central Coast this weekend; this persistent heat will continue to challenge the quality of romaine and other leaf varieties
• Expect elevated markets over the next two to three weeks
