All leafy items :iceberg, romaine, romaine hearts, green leaf continue to be active. Quality, weight, and yields continue to decrease out of the Salinas Valley (California). Prices will remain elevated throughout the transition to Yuma, Az/California desert which is expected to start early to mid-November.
Salad blends: Spring Mix, Sweet salad, baby mix kale, Tuscan tender leaves, arugula and baby spinach are also being impacted by high temperatures, rain and humidity. These items are also out of the Salinas Valley and fewer yields area available as we transition to the desert (CA/AZ). The demand exceeds the supply therefore driving the price up. Cauliflower and broccoli crowns continue to go up on price. These items continue to experience hollow cores, insect pressure, mildew, and pin rot. The demand is higher that what is available out of California, so shippers have had to bring product out state to fill the void. All leafy items: Iceberg, Romaine, Romaine Hearts, Green Leaf, are active and prices are elevated. The recent high temperatures and rain have diminished overall yields. Expect prices to stay high until we transition to Yuma, Az and Coachella, CA. The transition is about 4 weeks away.
Broccoli crowns and cauliflower are also limited and up on price. Both commodities are having a lot of quality issues such as hollow cores, insect pressure, mildew, and discoloration. Not enough supply out of California to meet the demand. Asparagus continues to rise. Mexican asparagus is tight due strong demand and weather-related issues. Peru is also having issues with their asparagus, therefore not enough out of Mexico to fill the void. Brussel sprouts are also active and up on price. Limited supplies out of Salinas and Oxnard because of the ongoing pressure insect, decay, and undersized crops. |
