Market Update

Freight prices rising could affect market prices

Lettuce market on the rise will be up a few $$ next week do to increase in freight prices. quality is good. Yuma has had weather problems experiencing  cold weather, some days not reaching 60 degrees. prices were down for sometime due to lack of demand. T&A lettuce does look the best

Romaine and Romaine hearts steady on price should stay the same low prices going into next week. 

Tomato market going back up again (5*6/6*6)  Cheaper alternative is Mexican but they do cut watery no the best for sandwiches. Plum tomatoes went way up today over the $30 mark still waiting on feedback why maybe due to weather in Florida. 

Cauliflower slowly going up do to the weather in Yuma, will come back down when weather is consistently over 60 degrees

Green peppers going up slightly due to higher demand. Red peppers are now coming from Mexico

Dairy products all the same except for eggs as they almost doubled in price, no news on reason why

Zucchini way down as farmers reach the supply needed. bushels are the best for your money.

Jalapenos are a lot cheaper per lb when ordered bushel size.

Will have more info on future lettuce and tomato prices Monday morning, Thank you and have a great weekend
