Basil price chart, 1-year history
Basil prices and seasonality
Fresh basil is grown in warm regions and in protected production, with domestic supplies coming from areas such as California and Florida as well as greenhouse operations. Imports, including shipments from Mexico and Colombia, help supply the US market when domestic production is limited or demand exceeds local availability. Wholesale terminal-market prices can vary with seasonal harvests, weather, crop quality, perishability, freight, and competition among domestic and imported supplies. These reported prices are wholesale prices at terminal markets, not retail store prices.
