Ripe Banana wholesale price — $26.00 / 40LB case

Supplier ref. 02643 · quoted September 7, 2026

Ripe Banana is quoted at $26.00 / 40LB 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 40LB 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 ripe Banana is invoiced as 40LB, the weight the supplier states on the pack. Ripe Banana is quoted in three pack sizes this week, from $3.50 for the 1BU to $26.00 for the 40LB. 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 Ripe Banana

Bananas do not behave like the rest of the produce book. They arrive year-round from Ecuador, Guatemala, Colombia, Honduras and Costa Rica, they move on contract rather than into a spot market, and they are ripened in rooms here rather than harvested ripe — so what a New York buyer is really pricing is a ripeness stage. This supplier quotes the whole ladder as separate references, from green and firm through the turn to fully ripe, and this page is the ripe end of it: fruit that is ready for service on arrival, with no holding window left to spend.

Buying notes

The standing format is a forty-pound case, with a ten-pound case and a single bunch quoted alongside for kitchens that do not turn a full box. Because the fruit is sold ripe, order against the service days you actually have and compare this page with the greener stages before assuming ripe is expensive.
