Field (round) tomatoes.

What the chain gets, so far

We don't have a shelf price for this yet: we only use published or shopper-reported prices. Once there is one, what's left for the supermarket shows here. Add the price you paid.

The farmer or growernot published
Hort Innovation's farm-gate value for tomatoes includes tomatoes grown for paste and canning (about half the crop by weight) and all fresh types together, so it isn't a price for field tomatoes. No public source gives a current field-tomato grower price.
Processing and packingnot published
Grading and packing is done by growers or packers, and nobody publishes what it costs per kilo.
Freight and wholesalenot published
Hort Innovation publishes a wholesale value for all fresh tomatoes, but it mixes field tomatoes with cherry, truss and roma, and there is no field-tomato grower price to subtract from it.

Worth knowing

  • Hort Innovation's figures put fresh tomatoes at about $3.02 to $3.27 a kilo leaving the wholesale market (2023/24 and 2024/25 year averages). That mixes in cherry and truss tomatoes and covers the grower, packing and freight together, so none of it is counted as a stage here.
  • Tomato prices swing hard with supply. In 2023 the North Queensland Register reported field tomatoes falling from up to $70 to about $14 a 10 kg box within about two months.
  • No dated supermarket shelf price for field tomatoes was found in a published survey or news report, so there is no shelf price yet.
