Tomatoes wholesale price — $34.00 / 25LB case

Supplier ref. 04153 · quoted September 7, 2026

Tomatoes are quoted at $34.00 / 25LB 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 25LB 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 tomatoes is invoiced as 25LB, the weight the supplier states on the pack. Tomatoes are quoted in three pack sizes this week, from $22.00 for the 10LB to $34.00 for the 25LB. 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 Tomatoes

Field, greenhouse and vine tomatoes side by side: round and beefsteak for slicing, plum for sauce, cherry and grape for salad and garnish, campari and tomatoes on the vine from greenhouses, and heirlooms in both full and cherry size. Tomato is the produce item where growing method matters most to price behaviour, since greenhouse and vine fruit is produced to a schedule and prices calmly, while field tomatoes carry the weather of whichever region is shipping.

Buying notes

Beefsteak and round tomatoes are bought in weight cartons, cherry and grape in count cases of punnets, and vine tomatoes by the box, which is three formats that cannot be read against each other. Green beefsteak is a separate product bought for frying, not an unripe red one at a discount, and it is not priced as one.
