Wholesale Pricing

TomatoDon · May 24, 2014

I was curious about wholesale pricing in the South. Most guys in my area are selling out of their pickup beds at $1.00 a pound. As I understand it, that's the only price.

I was curious about other wholesale and retail comparisons. I was thinking about buying either 20 or 25 pound tomato boxes with lids. Which is the best to purchase (which sells the best?) What is the market standard, or is there one?

I know that each year can be different and each variety can be, too. I'm just wanting some basic ball park ideas.

And what are some wholesale and retail prices you see, or use, around the South?

Thanks!
