Chives prices and seasonality
Chives are a highly perishable fresh herb grown by specialty farms and greenhouse operations, with California among the important domestic supply areas. Field production is most active in milder seasons, while protected production and imported herbs, including supplies from Mexico and Colombia, support broader availability. Wholesale terminal-market prices can respond to weather, harvest labor, shelf-life losses, freight, and changing volumes from domestic and imported suppliers. These reported prices are wholesale terminal-market prices, not retail store prices.
