Blackberries wholesale price in the UK

As of April 27, 2026, the wholesale quote for blackberries in the UK market is about £3.50. Over the past 12 months it's ranged from £2.95 to £3.50, with a typical week landing around £3.38.

Today's about on par with the yearly norm, which makes blackberries an easy line to budget.

Why the number moves

UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on blackberries can shift week to week.

Across the year the trend has been up (up about 8% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the UK

In season in the UK from late summer into early autumn; imported the rest of the year.

Per case or per kilo?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

Order by the piece (punnet) and use quickly as they are highly perishable; cheapest and best at the late-summer UK peak.
