Huge losses in iceberg and romaine lettuce production have led to prices tripling. The heat allowed for the lettuce to wilt drastically, and it no longer fit a certain quality standard for some farmers. Shoppers are noticing the environmental impact.
Why is lettuce so expensive now?
The price increase is attributed to low supply in California and Arizona, which are the two largest lettuce production states. In 2021, both growing regions witnessed unfavorable weather conditions, which has caused a supply shortage of iceberg lettuce, in turn leading to upward pressure on prices.
