About Kumquat
Kumquats are a specialty citrus with a narrow buyer base in New York — bar programs, pastry, garnish and preserving work — and yet this supplier quotes them week in and week out, which is why they carry a full year of price history here rather than a handful of scattered points. They are eaten whole, skin and all, so size and skin condition matter more than juice content, and the fruit is fragile enough that it moves in small cases rather than in bulk. The price sits well above the everyday citrus lines and moves independently of them.
Buying notes
One ten-pound case is the only format on offer here, so there is no count or grade to trade off and nothing to re-spec when the price runs. On a thin-volume specialty line, read the twelve-month range on this page before treating any single week's number as normal.
