Eggplant price chart, 1-year history
Eggplant prices and seasonality
US eggplant production is centered in warm-season regions, particularly Florida and California, with seasonal supplies from other producing areas. Domestic availability is generally strongest during local growing seasons, while Mexico is an important source of imported eggplant when US production is lighter. Weather, field yields, quality, shipment volumes, and competition between domestic and imported product influence terminal-market wholesale prices. The reported figures are wholesale terminal-market prices, not retail store prices.
