UPDATE: ICEBERG

November 19, 2020

Iceberg prices are starting to ease; supplies are increasing in the Arizona/California desert regions.

  • Production in the Huron and Salinas, California growing regions has ended; Santa Maria, California harvests are winding down and will end by late November
  • The Arizona/California desert season is ramping up quickly
    • Recent temperatures in the mid-80s helped promote growth; overall industry field weights are light but will continue to increase daily
    • Quality is excellent: sporadic growth cracks, large ribs, and seeder are present in some lots
  • Markets will decrease into next week as volume continues to rise and Thanksgiving demand tapers off
  • Please note, COVID restrictions may greatly affect demand as foodservice establishments are forced to reduce operations
