Key Details of the 2026 Harvest & Market Impact

• Record Production: “Croptober” pushed total production to historic highs, continuing a multi-year trend of massive overproduction following more than 13 million pounds harvested in 2025. [1, 2]
• Price Compression: Lower wholesale and retail prices continue to benefit consumers (with average item and gram prices ranking among the lowest nationwide). [1, 2]
• Industry Strain: Despite steady consumer demand, the persistent supply glut has shrunk industry revenues, compressed profit margins, and created ongoing financial challenges for licensed growers trying to offload excess product. [1, 2]
