Yellow corn wholesale price — $29.00 / case of 48
Supplier ref. 02940 · quoted October 5, 2026
Yellow corn is quoted at $29.00 / 48 - CT case in the week of October 5, 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 48 - 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 48 - 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. Yellow corn is quoted in three pack sizes this week, from $12.00 for the 6CT to $29.00 for the 48 - 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 Yellow corn
Sweet corn is available to New York buyers through the year but from two very different sources: Florida and Georgia ship it in the cold months, while New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, Delaware and North Carolina supply the local run. Yellow, white and bi-color are quoted as separate lines. Corn is sold in the husk by the ear, and because eating quality falls away after harvest, local product and long-haul product are not the same purchase even when they carry the same name.
Buying notes
Corn is ordered by the crate of forty-eight ears, the bushel, with a twenty-four and a six-count carried for smaller kitchens. The count and not a weight is what gets invoiced, so a corn quote cannot be set against a per-pound vegetable without misreading it.
