As the Iceberg market advances, so is the Green Leaf market.  Cooler nights, shorter daylight hours is slowing down production creating limited supplies.  The market will not get too excited, but we will see a jump.

Iceberg Lettuce

For the first time in 3 months we are seeing a market.  A change in the weather, a Holiday pull and lower yields from the fields have created a situation where current supplies are not meeting overall demand.  The market will advance again next week.

Red Leaf Lettuce

Much of the same as last week.  Adequate supplies of RED leaf in the Salinas Valley will keep prices down.

Romaine Lettuce

With the Iceberg market moving up, interest for romaine continues to increase.  There are some major problems with disease in the Romaine fields that is hindering production.  Lower yields and increased demand will keep this market going up.
