Swiss chard wholesale price — $24.00 / case of 12
Supplier ref. 04126 · quoted October 16, 2026
Swiss chard is quoted at $24.00 / 12CT case in the week of October 12, 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 12CT 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 12CT 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.

About Swiss chard
Swiss chard is a bunched leaf sold by the case in three colors: green, red and the mixed-stem Bright Lights. Our reference has Florida, Texas and California covering the cold months and New Jersey and Orange County taking over for the local run, so the item is offered through the year with a clear handover between the southern and the Northeastern crop. Chard is cut with the stem on and wilts fast once the cold chain breaks, which is why it is bought short and turned quickly rather than held.
Buying notes
All three colors are quoted the same way, as a twelve-count case of bunches, which makes chard one of the few headings where the lines are directly comparable to each other. There is no split pack on this item, so the case is the only way in.
