Vegetable Market FAQs
What drives vegetable prices?
Vegetable prices are shaped by weather, planting decisions, harvest timing and regional demand, and these drivers differ by crop. Onions respond to storage carryover, peppers to greenhouse and open-field supply, and brassicas to seasonal harvest windows.
Why do vegetable prices vary so much by region?
Different regions grow different vegetables under different conditions, so wholesale prices in the US, Europe, South America and Asia can move independently. Expana’s regional benchmarks let you compare origins directly.
