Why Snipped green beans is moving
High confidenceThe market for snipped green beans has seen a significant jump this week, with prices now at $29.85 per case, reflecting a +24.4% increase. This upward movement is primarily driven by tightening supplies of French beans from Guatemala and Mexico, with Guatemalan yields specifically impacted by ongoing El Nino-related hot, dry conditions that are expected to increase autumn supply risks. Furthermore, overall bean production in Mexico is projected to decline year-on-year, contributing to a more constrained supply. While Florida's fall green bean crop is beginning to arrive, its current volume may not yet be sufficient to fully offset these regional shortages. This recent spike contrasts with a modest -3.2% decline over the past three months, indicating a shift towards tighter availability.
- Guatemala supply tightening
- Mexico production decline

About Snipped green beans
Snipped beans are green beans and haricots verts with the stem ends already taken off, packed in tubs. Snipping is the definition of low-value, high-volume prep — it costs more in hands than the beans are worth — which is the only reason the cut line exists. The two lines are not the same vegetable: the French bean is the thin haricot vert, picked smaller and priced above the standard green bean, and it is bought when the bean is visible on the plate.
Buying notes
The two beans come in different case sizes, so compare per pound rather than per case. Snipped beans are cut wet and brown at the cut end, so they are blanched or cooked within days of delivery rather than held.
