Market Report 4.9.2026

"Transition is underway, with the majority of growers expected to be in Salinas by the end of the week. Rain and cooler weather are in the forecast, which will slow growth patterns. Broccoli, Cauliflower, Romaine Hearts, and Celery remain escalated due to limited supply and quality concerns. Carrots continue to face ongoing supply challenges, with full recovery not expected until May. Artichokes, Bok Choy, and Napa remain extremely limited and escalated. Supplies and quality are good this week; however, growers anticipate that hot temperatures combined with the transition will create quality and supply issues, as well as potential loading delays."

Freight: Limited trucks and record high fuel costs are putting upward pressure on rates going into the holiday and beyond. We are seeing several freight companies, including sea freight companies, invoking fuel surcharges which will impact cost inputs.
