Supplier ref. 02978 · quoted September 7, 2026
Persian cucumber is quoted at $24.00 / 20LB 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 20LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

What is in the case
One case of Persian cucumber is invoiced as 20LB, the weight the supplier states on the pack. Persian cucumber is quoted in three pack sizes this week, from $8.00 for the 2LB to $24.00 for the 20LB. 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 Persian cucumber
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.
