SPECIALTY CROPS MARKETS
The bulletin shows market prices of selected crops that consumers demand all year round The publication compares weekly specialty and horticultural produce prices from conventional and organic production systems, as shown in Table 1 below Organic production systems offer a high-value market for products when comparing both weeks Prices of conventionally grown products led to a lower value market; however, product price volatility was observed in different product trends in both production systems. Market price reports vary weekly; if the price indicates zero, no price was reported that week.
