Banana wholesale price — $28.00 / 40 lb case

Supplier ref. 02657 · quoted October 16, 2026

Banana is quoted at $28.00 / 40LB case in the week of October 12, 2026. That is the lowest wholesale quote we recorded that week from the single New York distributor we track — not a market average, and not an official terminal quotation. The quote covers one 40LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

About Banana

This is the wholesaler's petite banana line — smaller fruit than the standard grade, packed in the same case, and bought by kitchens that want a whole banana as a portion rather than as a component. Bananas are one of the few items in the produce hall whose case price is set by the box rather than repriced with the fruit inside it, which is why this line can hold a level for long stretches. Read it alongside the ripeness-stage lines rather than against them: petite is a size grade, not a stage.

Buying notes

Petite bananas come in the same case as the standard grades, so the comparison against them is direct. If you need a specific ripeness on arrival, buy the stage line instead — this line specifies size, not condition.
