Supplier ref. 00199 · quoted September 7, 2026
Jicama is quoted at $38.00 / 35LB case in the week of September 7, 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 35LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

About Jicama
Jicama, malanga (taro), lotus root and fresh turmeric serve New York's Caribbean, Latin American and Asian kitchens, and they follow importer and container schedules rather than a North American season. Our reference lists them arriving from Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Fiji and Thailand. These are hard, dense roots that ship and hold well, so the buying question is usually availability and arrival timing rather than freshness on the day.
Buying notes
Jicama and malanga move in heavy thirty-five to forty pound master cases, while lotus root and turmeric are quoted by the pound because they turn slowly in most kitchens. Jicama is also carried in twenty and ten pound packs and malanga down to a single pound, so a kitchen using them as an accent does not have to take the master case.
