CAAT, the Centro Agro Alimentare Torino, is a fruit and vegetable wholesale centre serving the Turin area. Its physical location is in Grugliasco at Strada del Portone 10. Torino in the trading name refers to the market and metropolitan area, so these names should not generate two separate directory entries. The centre brings wholesalers and local growers together, allowing buyers to compare regional supply with a broader assortment. Orders are placed with an individual business or producer.
The operator lists 440,000 square metres of site area, 120,000 square metres of covered space and 101 local producers. The profile does not give an explicit reference year for these measures. They describe infrastructure and participation, not vacant stands or the number of sellers guaranteed to attend a particular session. For a buyer, identifying suitable merchants and agreeing collection times is more useful than planning a visit solely around the size of the complex.
CAAT publishes its “mercuriale dei prezzi” as publicly accessible PDFs. The website announces twice-weekly publication from October. The bulletin dated 23 October 2026 shows minimum, prevailing and maximum prices together with detailed origin, variety, size and presentation information. Confirmed examples include citrus fruit, apples, pears, kiwifruit, berries, persimmons, chestnuts and walnuts. The spreadsheet lists selected verified categories rather than every variety and packing combination in the bulletin.
Choose the price-list item that most closely matches the consignment being purchased. Two apple quotations may relate to different varieties, sizes, origin designations and packing arrangements. A useful enquiry reproduces the complete specification, adds the required quantity and collection date, and asks for availability confirmation. The prevailing price in a bulletin does not oblige every wholesaler to sell any requested volume at that level.
A producer should establish whether it intends to supply an existing merchant or use space for its own sales. The operator provides separate information for sellers and buyers. Before dispatch, agree delivery notification, unloading arrangements, returnable packaging and payment timing. For cross-border trade, compare the price after freight and expected quality losses. Following the archive can support the timing of an offer, but a market observation is not an accepted order. Keep the written commercial confirmation with the product specification so both parties can check the same terms.
