Why Kirby cucumbers is moving
Medium confidenceThe current wholesale price for Kirby cucumbers has surged to $48.00 per case, reflecting a significant +50.0% increase over the past three months and a notable +26.3% rise week over week. This sharp upward movement is primarily driven by the ongoing transition of supply from established growing areas into new regions within Mexico, including Baja, which is causing inconsistent availability and fluctuating quality as new crops ramp up. While Canadian greenhouses continue to ship, their growers are contending with escalating production costs, contributing to a higher baseline for cucumber pricing. Buyers should anticipate continued market volatility as Mexican supplies stabilize through this transition period.

Written automatically from public sources on 2026-10-06. Our own quotes are the supplier's; the causes above come from the sources listed.
What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the FULL/BSH pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does. Kirby cucumbers are quoted in two pack sizes this week, from $29.00 for the HALF/BSH to $48.00 for the FULL/BSH. 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 Kirby cucumbers
Four cucumbers, four different trades. The hot house — the long seedless one, shrink-wrapped — and the Persian come out of Mexican and Canadian greenhouses week in and week out; the select, or American slicer, is the field item; and the Kirby is the pickling cucumber, which New Jersey supplies during its own short run. Greenhouse lines are sheltered from weather but exposed to energy and freight costs, while the field lines are the ones that react to a hot or a wet spell.
Buying notes
Hot house is ordered by the twelve-count flat, select by the twenty-five count, Persian by weight and Kirby by the bushel, with a half bushel carried for kitchens that pickle in small batches. Every cucumber line here is quoted in more than one pack, so the pack has to be read before two quotes are set side by side.
