Why String green beans is moving
High confidenceThe New York wholesale market is experiencing a significant price surge for string green beans, now quoted at $46.00 per case, marking a +24.5% increase week-over-week. This sharp upward trend is primarily attributed to the ongoing seasonal transition, as cooler temperatures are causing a slowdown in production from Northeast growing districts. Simultaneously, the expected heavy volume from the Southeast, including Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, has yet to fully develop, likely impacted by earlier weather challenges and recent tropical system activity that has delayed harvests and reduced yields in those key regions. This confluence of factors has created a temporary supply deficit, driving market prices higher for available product.

About String green beans
The bean heading is mostly round green beans and haricots verts, with fava, Chinese long bean, sea bean and fresh garbanzo as intermittent specialties. Green beans are hand-picked, and our reference has Guatemala and Florida carrying the cold months while Georgia, the Carolinas, Ohio, Delaware, New Jersey and New York State cover the local run, so the same line alternates between a long-haul import and a truck from a nearby field over the course of a year. Fava and Chinese long bean are not year-round items and drop off the offering entirely outside their window.
Buying notes
Round green and wax beans move in bushel-weight twenty-five pound cases, haricots verts in five pound because they are a finer and slower pick, and the specialties by the pound. Green and wax beans are also carried in ten and five pound packs, which matters on an item that loses snap this fast.
