Much like most of the vegetables being harvested out of Salinas, the Broccoli market is depressed. With the MidWest, East Coast and Canada producing Broccoli, this market can only go up. No hope for the month of July.

The conventional Carrot market is up, supplies expected to stay tight until mid-August limiting jumbo and cello availability.   This demand is even starting to be felt on the baby. Although no change in markets here is expected.


Cauliflower

Limiting summer plantings and low demand have made for a depressed market. Don’t see a change until after the month of July.

Iceberg Lettuce

The Iceberg Lettuce demand is depressing. We have limited plantings, but with COVID keeping Restaurants shut down, even the limited availability can’t keep the market up. Don’t see any change for next week.

Red Leaf Lettuce

Red Leaf Lettuce

Experiencing very low demand for the Red Leaf. Most growers planned for this by planting limited acreage during the month of July.

Romaine Lettuce

Romaine Lettuce

Summer plantings were down for the month of July, but demand for processed Romaine (bagged salads) remains steady and the Gov’t Box Program (Romaine hearts) remains up. This market is good and should remain up through the month.
