Gourds wholesale price — $32.00 / 10 lb case
Supplier ref. 03098 · quoted October 16, 2026
Gourds are quoted at $32.00 / 10LB 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 10LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

About Gourds
Fresh vegetables are the deepest part of what a New York foodservice supplier carries, and the group behaves less like one market than like a dozen: leafy items follow the coastal California and desert Arizona rotation, fruiting vegetables run on Mexico and the Southeast in winter before the Northeast and the Canadian greenhouses take over, and roots trade off storage stocks for most of the year. Prices move for physical reasons — a cold snap or heavy rain in the shipping region, a gap between the end of one growing area and the start of the next, freight on the long hauls — and the New York wholesale price reflects them once the affected loads arrive. The practical consequence for a buyer is that two vegetables on the same delivery can be moving in opposite directions in the same week.
Buying notes
Almost every line in this family is quoted by the case, and case formats are not comparable between items — a carton defined by weight and a carton defined by count are different things. The transitions between shipping regions are the moments worth watching, because that is when the origin behind the price changes.
