How many markets is greens priced in?
Greens is priced in 3 of the 10 US terminal markets that report it. The median is drawn from 48 convertible quotes out of 2,887 listings seen in the last 45 days.
Why is greens not priced in every market that reports it?
New York, NY, Boston, MA, Atlanta, GA, Los Angeles, CA, Baltimore, MD, Miami, FL and Asheville, NC report greens only in packs that carry no net weight — cartons, cartons bunched, cartons/crates bunched — so there is no honest way to convert those quotes to a price per pound. They are named here rather than dropped, because a missing row otherwise reads as no change.
Which varieties of greens does USDA quote?
USDA currently quotes Broccoli Rabe Rappini, Collard, Dandelion, Kale, Kale Flowering, Kale Lacinato Tuscan, Kale Multicolor and Kohlrabi for greens in these markets. Varieties can differ several-fold in price, so a single blended median is nobody's actual price — the application prices each variety on its own.
How often is the greens price updated?
Every trading day. USDA publishes terminal market reports on business days, and this page shows the most recent report for each market, currently through October 5, 2026.
