Official wholesale price (MAGA)

MAGA’s wholesale basket for La Terminal and CENMA does not cover this product, so there is no official figure on this page to check the estimate above against.

Lettuce is grown in Guatemala is highland regions, particularly around Antigua and the Almolonga valley near Quetzaltenango – one of the most productive vegetable-growing areas in Central America. It is used in salads, as a garnish for tacos and tostadas, and in the traditional chojin (radish and chicharron salad). Iceberg and romaine are the most common varieties.
