Persimmon wholesale price — $36.25 / case of 18
Supplier ref. 03797 · quoted October 21, 2026
Persimmon is quoted at $36.25 / 18CT case. 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 18CT 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 18CT 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.

About Persimmon
Exotic and tropical fruit is the largest fruit category on this catalog, and the one with the least in common from one line to the next. It runs from commodity bananas, avocados and pineapples that a New York kitchen orders by the case every week, to passion fruit, cape gooseberries and star fruit that arrive light and irregularly. Almost none of it is grown near New York, so every line here is an import program whose price carries freight and arrival condition as much as it carries the crop. Our reference data documents each sub-group separately for exactly that reason: bananas run on a continuous flow from Central and South America, mangoes on a rotation of origins that hands off through the year, pineapples on a steady Costa Rican base.
Buying notes
Split this category in two before you shop it: the commodity lines are quoted in several counts and formats and reward picking the right count, while the specialty lines come in a single small pack and are best treated as spot buys. Ripeness is a specification here rather than a condition — avocados and bananas are sold by stage, and the stage is part of the price.
