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 red chicory can shift week to week.
Across the year the trend has been up (down about 16% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
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.
The case (colis) suits high-volume salad service; check the whole box for firm, unbruised heads as bitterness intensifies with age.
