Featured Market Alerts:
Lettuce (Iceberg) – The demand for this commodity will continue to exceed supplies throughout this week and next week. High heat and INSV have been major obstacles growers have been fighting. The overall quality is fair. Lightweights, discoloration, puffiness, and internal burn are common defects being reported. These issues are industry wide and will continue throughout the week. Value-added lettuce items continue to increase.
Green Onions – Extremely limited supplies brought on by the heat the last couple of months in Mexico. The rain last weekend has caused even lower yields. Look for this market to continue to be strong over the next several weeks.
Berries (Blackberries) – Quality has suffered due to the heat and rain. Availability is low. Mexican imports will begin to pick up in numbers towards mid-October.
Berries (Strawberries) – There are drastically lower yields due to the recent rain as shippers opt to strip fruit and prepare the fields for better quality next week. Expect markets to firm up throughout this week.
