Why Radish watermelon is moving
High confidenceWatermelon radish prices have surged to $94.00 per case, reflecting a substantial 62.1% increase over the past three months and a 19.0% jump week over week. This upward trend is likely influenced by the seasonal transition and increasingly challenging harvest conditions across key shipping regions. Growers in Quebec are navigating intermittent rainfall and rising freeze risks as the season progresses, with forecasts indicating a mix of rain and snow showers this week. Similarly, Ohio and New York's Orange County are experiencing cooler temperatures and moderate to significant rainfall, alongside the potential for frost, which can lead to harvest delays and impact overall yield. These combined weather factors are tightening available supply and driving prices higher as demand remains steady for this fall-harvested root vegetable.

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.
