Banana singles wholesale price — $28.00 / 40 lb case
Supplier ref. 01062 · quoted October 16, 2026
Banana singles are 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 singles
Banana singles are loose fruit rather than hands, sold by the case to operations that portion one banana at a time — grab-and-go counters, hotel breakfast, catering. Because the fruit is separated at the packing stage, singles carry a handling cost that a case of hands does not, and they are quoted as their own line. It is a format decision rather than a quality one: the fruit itself is the same.
Buying notes
Choose singles only if you genuinely portion singly — separated fruit bruises and ripens faster than fruit left on the hand. Otherwise a standard case in the ripeness stage you need is the better buy.
