Supplier ref. 04785 · quoted September 7, 2026
Pink pineapple is quoted at $39.00 / 6CT 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 6CT 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 6CT 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 Pink pineapple
Pineapple is quoted by count size, and the count is effectively the whole specification: a case of a few large fruit and a case of more, smaller fruit ship at similar cost and yield very differently in a kitchen. The catalog carries a conventional line alongside branded and specialty selections, including pink-fleshed fruit, and those are separate programs with their own supply rather than grades of the same item. Our reference data documents Costa Rica as the steady base, with Honduras, Mexico and Guatemala filling in.
Buying notes
Match the count to your yield — fewer, larger fruit per case means less trimming labour per portion, which often matters more than the case price itself. Specialty and pink pineapple are limited programs, so treat a quote on them as a spot price rather than a standing cost.
