In 2023, global lettuce prices saw a sustained increase during both the first and second quarters, primarily driven by limited food product supply due to extreme weather conditions. In North America, heavy rains and storms delayed planting seasons and caused crop damage, resulting in declining lettuce stocks.

Below-average temperatures further exacerbated farming challenges. This supply shortage created a demand surplus, not only in the US but also in Asian countries. Additionally, food price inflation stemmed from global economic pressures, post-pandemic effects, supply chain disruptions due to the Russia-Ukraine war, labor strikes, and rising consumer demand. Increasing interest rates also contributed to the upward lettuce price trend.
Definition
Lettuce is a leafy, edible plant belonging to the daisy family, Asteraceae. It is cultivated for its tender, green leaves, which are commonly used in salads, sandwiches, and various culinary dishes. Lettuce comes in different varieties, including iceberg, romaine, and leaf lettuce, each offering distinct shapes and textures. It is prized for its crisp, refreshing quality and mild, slightly sweet flavor. Lettuce is rich in vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, making it a nutritious addition to diets. Its properties include a high water content, which contributes to its hydrating and low-calorie nature, and versatility in various culinary applications.

Industrial Uses Impacting the Lettuce Price Trend:
Lettuce, primarily grown for culinary and dietary purposes, doesn’t have extensive industrial applications. However, it does play a role in the food processing industry. Lettuce is processed into pre-packaged salads, fresh-cut lettuce mixes, and salad dressings, extending its shelf life and convenience for consumers. Additionally, some compounds extracted from lettuce may be used as natural food additives or ingredients in certain processed foods. Despite its limited industrial uses, lettuce is a significant crop globally, serving as a staple in the culinary world and contributing to the fresh produce and food processing sectors, meeting consumer demands for healthy and convenient meal options.
