Why Radish watermelon is moving
High confidenceWholesale watermelon radish prices have climbed to $79.00 per case, marking a substantial +36.2% increase over the past three months and a sharp +33.9% rise week over week. This significant upward movement is largely attributable to adverse weather conditions affecting active growing districts. Ohio, a key supplier, has endured unusually heavy rainfall from early September through early October, with precipitation levels reaching 125-400% of normal, potentially impacting root quality and harvest yields. Simultaneously, Quebec and upstate New York are experiencing fluctuating temperatures and increasing frost risks in rural areas, which can disrupt harvesting and reduce available volume as fall crops are brought in. Buyers should anticipate continued firm pricing given these supply-side pressures.

About Radish watermelon
Radishes reach New York in two forms that are bought by different kitchens: bunched with the tops on, which is what a garnish or a raw plate needs, and cello — topped and bagged — which is what volume kitchens take. Our reference has Quebec shipping through the year, Florida covering the cold months and Ohio, New Jersey and Orange County carrying the local run, so this is a heading where the origin genuinely rotates rather than sitting still. Daikon and watermelon radish are grouped here but behave like storage roots, moving in heavy sacks rather than in bunches.
Buying notes
Bunched radish is ordered by the twenty-four count case, cello by the case of six-ounce bags, and daikon and watermelon radish by weight in twenty-five to forty pound packs. Bunched product carries its tops and is the shorter-lived of the two, so it is worth ordering closer to service than the bagged item.
