Supplier ref. 04053 · quoted October 16, 2026
Brussel sprouts are quoted at $48.00 / 25LB 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 25LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

Why Brussel sprouts is moving
High confidenceThe New York wholesale market is seeing Brussel sprouts trading at $48.00 per case, reflecting a significant +41.2% increase over the past three months. This upward trend is primarily driven by persistent pest pressure and unfavorable growing conditions impacting yields and overall availability in key shipping regions, notably California and Mexico. California's organic supply is currently experiencing a gap, awaiting the full transition to Mexican imports, which are themselves contending with sizing challenges and delayed arrivals. With demand beginning to strengthen, these ongoing supply constraints are contributing to firming market conditions and are expected to result in a modest rise in pricing in the near term.

What is in the case
One case of brussel sprouts is invoiced as 25LB, the weight the supplier states on the pack. Brussel sprouts are quoted in three pack sizes this week, from $12.00 for the 2LB to $48.00 for the 25LB. 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 Brussel sprouts
Despite the name, this is the brassica group as the New York trade actually buys it: green, red, savoy and napa cabbage, but also broccoli, broccoli crowns and rabe, broccolini, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale and kohlrabi. The group is offered year-round, with California and Mexico as the base supply and New York State, Quebec, Ontario, New Jersey, Maine and the Southeast cutting in when their fields are running. These are hand-cut, cooled crops, so a heat event or a labor problem in the shipping district shows up in the quote quickly rather than gradually.
Buying notes
Heads are ordered by count or by a size code, broccoli by the bunch or as crowns by weight, and florets by the bag, so a cabbage quote and a broccoli quote are not the same unit even on the same order. Most lines here also exist as a half case or a two-count, and we list every pack we see quoted rather than reducing them to a single figure.
