Supplier ref. 03913 · quoted September 7, 2026
Bartlett pears are quoted at $58.00 / 80/90SZ case in the week of September 7, 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 80/90SZ case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 80/90SZ pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does. Bartlett pears are quoted in three pack sizes this week, from $18.00 for the 12CT to $58.00 for the 80/90SZ. The quotes are not comparable per pound — the supplier does not publish a weight for every pack — so we list them side by side rather than ranking them.

About Bartlett pears
Pears are a storage fruit and our reference data documents the same logic as apples: a Pacific Northwest crop out of Washington and Oregon holds the year, Argentina takes over in spring and summer, and California adds fruit in the back half. Varieties do not substitute for one another in a kitchen — Bartlett ripens soft and fast, Bosc and Anjou hold their shape, and Asian pears are a different fruit for a different plate — so they are quoted as separate lines with no common price. The pack is a count size, and the same variety is often offered in a full carton and in a small carton for kitchens that will not turn a case.
Buying notes
Bartlett and Bosc are both quoted in a full count-size carton and in a small carton, and the small carton is the practical buy when pears are a garnish rather than a component. Pears arrive hard and finish in your walk-in, so order against a service date rather than a delivery date.
