Supplier ref. 02597 · quoted October 5, 2026
Green asparagus is quoted at $68.00 / 11LB case in the week of October 5, 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 11LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

About Green asparagus
Asparagus reaches New York kitchens almost entirely on imports: Mexico and Peru keep the pipeline full through most of the year, and a short domestic and Canadian window opens in late spring. Because the crop is hand-cut and moved on a tight cold chain, price reacts quickly here — a cold snap in a growing district or a squeeze on freight shows up in the following week's quote rather than being absorbed over a season. Grade is what a buyer is actually paying for: jumbo, large and standard spears are packed identically and sold as separate references at separate prices.
Buying notes
The standing format is an eleven-pound case, and the supplier quotes jumbo, large and standard as three distinct lines, so confirm which grade a number belongs to before reading a move as a price change. Late spring, when domestic and Canadian fields overlap the import flow, is the part of the year worth watching for a softer case.
