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.
