Why Green peppers is moving

High confidence

Green pepper prices have surged to $29.00 per case, marking a significant +61.1% increase over the past week, driven primarily by seasonal growing-district transitions and adverse weather impacting East Coast supplies. California's Hollister region is seeing supplies tighten as its season winds down, with the Coachella region just beginning to ship at lower volumes, creating a gap in availability. Concurrently, East Coast production from states like Michigan and Ohio is wrapping up for the season, further constraining domestic supply. Compounding these transitions, recent heavy rains and tropical moisture have led to lighter supplies and quality issues from Eastern growing regions, including North Carolina, which experienced an early frost that affected productivity and slowed harvest cycles. This combination of factors is creating upward pressure on the open market as buyers contend with reduced availability from key shipping areas.

What is in the case

One case of green peppers is invoiced as 25LB, the weight the supplier states on the pack. Green peppers are quoted in five pack sizes this week, from $12.00 for the 6CT to $29.00 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 Green peppers

Green bell peppers swing more than most everyday vegetables, and the reason is structural. The crop walks from Florida and Mexico in winter to Georgia, the Carolinas, New Jersey, Ontario glass and local Northeast fields in summer and fall, and each of those handoffs is exposed to a single weather event with no other region running at scale to absorb it. A freeze in Florida or a wet harvest in the Southeast does not average out — it lands on next week's quote. Peppers are also sold both by the bushel and by the box, so a kitchen with real volume has room to move on format.

Buying notes

The standing formats are the bushel in medium and large plus a smaller box, with five-pound and six-count cases for low-volume users. Read this page against its twelve-month range rather than against last week: the swing across a year on green peppers is wide enough that one week tells you very little.
