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 onion can shift week to week.
The yearlong trend has been easing. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Per case or per kilo?

By the piece suits lower-volume kitchens; for prep-heavy sites the kg or sack format is more economical, typically around £1-2 per kg.
