​Asparagus: Mexican and Peruvian supplies remain extremely limited due to quality, production, and freight challenges. September is expected to be one of the toughest months, with improved availability not expected until mid-to-late October

Broccoli: Supplies remain tight as fields transition to younger plantings. The market is expected to strengthen heading into next week.

Cauliflower: Supplies are expected to remain very tight through the remainder of the season. Production gaps, Diamondback Moth pressure, and warm weather continue to impact yields, with no meaningful improvement expected in the near term. The market is likely to remain difficult.

Corn: California production has finished, leaving yellow corn extremely scarce and requiring Oregon product to help fill the gap. Fresh domestic Mexican yellow corn is now entering the market, with volumes expected to build steadily through October and November.

Green Onions: Baja production is expected to remain very limited over the next 2–3 weeks due to continued heat, lower yields, and lighter sizing. Tight supplies are keeping the market firm, with improved availability expected by mid-to-late October.

Pineapple: Supplies are tightening due to the natural flowering season, with open-market availability becoming more limited while contract orders remain covered. Minor port delays are possible over Labor Day weekend.

Iceberg, Romaine, Green & Red Leaf: Iceberg supplies remain tight due to heat and insect pressure, with strong demand pushing prices higher. Green and Red Leaf supplies are expected to tighten further this week. Romaine and hearts are also tightening, with generally good quality but some fringe burn and disease pressure reported. Overall, the market is firm with continued upward price pressure.
