Bi-color corn wholesale price — $32.00 / case of 48

Supplier ref. 02945 · quoted October 16, 2026

Bi-color corn is quoted at $32.00 / 48CT 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 48CT 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 48CT 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.

About Bi-color corn

Bi-color is the corn most of the Northeast actually grows and eats — yellow and white kernels on the same ear, sweet and tender, and it is what a New York kitchen means when it says corn without qualifying. The season is the whole story of this item: local ears arrive in high summer and the price collapses, while the rest of the year is shipped from the South and Florida at a completely different level. It is one of the few produce lines on this list where the difference between the peak and the off season is measured in multiples rather than in percentages.

Buying notes

Buy on the season rather than on a standing order: the same case is a commodity at the height of the local season and a specialty item outside it, and a menu that runs corn year-round pays for that. Check the silk and the butt end rather than pulling the husk back — a stripped ear cannot be sold and the husk is what keeps the kernel from drying.
