Nectarine wholesale price in the UK

As of April 27, 2026, the wholesale quote for nectarine in the UK market is about £0.75. Over the past 12 months it's ranged from £0.51 to £1.40, with a typical week landing around £1.07.

Right now it's running below its 12-month average — a solid window to spec a little extra and lock in the rate.

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 nectarine can shift week to week.

Across the year the trend has been up (down about 46% 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

Imported (largely Spain and Italy) with peak quality in summer; available across much 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.

Sold by the piece; buy slightly firm to ripen on, and check for bruising, as ripe nectarines are very perishable and damage in transit.
