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 Green peppers is moving

High confidence

The New York wholesale market is experiencing a significant price surge for green peppers, with cases now quoted at $39.00, marking an +85.7% increase over the past week. This sharp escalation is primarily due to a supply gap as coastal California regions conclude their season and prepare for the transition to desert growing areas. Further tightening the market, bell pepper harvests in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and North Carolina, are either winding down or have been hampered by recent wet field conditions and earlier frost damage. While Mexican production is anticipated to build through October, the immediate impact of these regional transitions and weather-related disruptions is driving current market pressure, with Canadian hothouse pepper supply also firming up and expected to be tightest in the coming week.

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 $39.00 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.
