Boston wholesale produce prices today

Thursday, November 12, 2026. USDA terminal market prices, updated every market evening.

Cantaloupes, broccoli and celery are firming in Boston, while romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce and avocados are softening. Sweet potatoes, grapes and bananas are high for the season with no relief in sight. Strawberries are unsettled.

What to do today

▲ Firming

Lock price with your supplier and get customer quotes out before it moves. Buy a few days deeper only on items that keep.

▼ Softening

Stay on the open market and keep inventory tight. Don't lock price at today's level. Some are still firm this week before they ease.

High for the season

No relief in sight. Price quotes to cover it and look at other counts or packs.

Good value

Cheaper than most years at this time. A good item to feature on specials.

Unsettled

Recent prices and shipping points disagree on direction, so there's no call. Stay close to your supplier on price.

Supply news

From this week's USDA shipping-point and shipment reports.

Coming up

Growing areas that usually start or finish in the next five weeks. Supply gaps and price jumps tend to come around these changeovers.
