Blueberries wholesale price — $49.00 / case of 12

Blueberries are quoted at $49.00 / 12 - CT 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 12 - CT case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

Why Blueberries is moving

High confidence

The current price of blueberries stands at $49.00 per case, reflecting a significant +60.7% increase over the past three months, though it has held steady week over week. This upward trend is primarily driven by a challenging transition in growing districts and adverse weather impacting key import origins. As domestic harvests from California, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington wind down for the season, the market relies heavily on imports. Peru, a dominant supplier during this period, has seen its 2026/27 crop forecast trimmed by 6% due to El Niño, with a projected 21% drop in peak volumes around mid-October compared to last year. Concurrently, Argentina's blueberry production has been significantly reduced by 30-35% and delayed due to a cold, wet spring, further tightening available supply. These combined factors of reduced and delayed supply from major international sources are keeping prices firm at current levels.

  • Peruvian supply reduction (El Niño)
  • Argentine harvest delays/reductions (weather)
  • Seasonal transition
3 sources consulted

Written automatically from public sources on 2026-10-14. Our own quotes are the supplier's; the causes above come from the sources listed.

What is in the case

The supplier states no weight for the 12 - CT 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. Blueberries are quoted in three pack sizes this week, from $7.50 for the 1EA to $49.00 for the 12 - CT. 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 Blueberries

Berries move week to week more than most of the fruit list does, and the reason is structural. They are quoted by the flat of clamshells, they hold for days rather than weeks, and our reference data shows supply arriving from a long list of origins — California and Mexico across the whole year, with Peru, Chile, Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, New Jersey and the Pacific Northwest each covering part of it. Every changeover between those origins is an opportunity for the price to move, which is why the twelve-month range on the chart tells a buyer more here than today's number does.

Buying notes

Berries are quoted as a full flat, a half flat and a single clamshell, and the smaller formats consistently carry a premium per container. Order against a service date rather than a delivery date — shelf life is the binding constraint, and a cheap flat you cannot turn is not cheap.
