Leeks wholesale price — $32.00 / 12CT case
Supplier ref. 03217 · quoted September 7, 2026
Leeks are quoted at $32.00 / 12CT 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 12CT case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 12CT 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. Leeks are quoted in three pack sizes this week, from $6.00 for the 2CT to $32.00 for the 12CT. 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 Leeks
Leeks reach New York from California and Quebec through the year, with New Jersey, Texas, the Netherlands, Mexico, Ohio and Long Island filling in around them. What varies between two cases is trim and shank length: leeks are sold with the green top left on or cut back, so the usable proportion of a case changes with the trim rather than with the price. Grit held in the shank is the other quality variable, and it is a reason to inspect on arrival rather than to renegotiate afterwards.
Buying notes
Leeks are quoted by the twelve-count case, with a weight pack and a two-count also carried — three units for one item, which is exactly the situation where the pack has to be stated before quotes are compared. Order to the trimmed length the kitchen actually uses, not to the case weight.
