Supplier ref. 02967 · quoted September 7, 2026
Select cucumber is quoted at $22.00 / 50 - CT 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 50 - CT 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 50 - CT 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. Select cucumber is quoted in five pack sizes this week, from $1.00 for the 1CT to $22.00 for the 50 - CT. 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 Select cucumber
"Select" is a grade, not a variety: it is the standard field-grown slicing cucumber, sold by count rather than weight, and it is the workhorse behind salads, garnish, cold prep and juicing across New York. Supply is continuous — Mexican field and greenhouse plus Ontario and Quebec glass run all year, with Florida, Georgia and New Jersey field crop layered in seasonally — but continuity of supply is not stability of price. Cucumbers are thin-skinned, ship poorly in heat and bruise in handling, so quality events turn into price events fast.
Buying notes
Formats run from a fifty-count bushel down to a single cucumber, so a kitchen can size the order to its real turn instead of holding stock that softens. Local New Jersey and Northeast field crop in summer is the part of the year where the bushel is most likely to be well priced.
