US: Temporary oversupply of lettuce
This time of the year, competition from other lettuce growing areas is limited for California. “Mexico’s lettuce production plays a role for Texas, but does not compete with California”, Classen mentioned. “Of all iceberg lettuce supplies during this period, 95 to 99 percent comes from Yuma (AZ) and Imperial Valley (CA).”
