Hofu Public Local Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market is a municipal produce venue at Uematsu 1143 in Hofu, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Its annual summary records 3,069,584 kg and JPY 1,206,185 thousand of trade in 2025. These are commodity transaction figures for the stated calendar year. They are not the administrator's revenue and should not be combined with unrelated local market volumes. The distinction matters when comparing this focused produce facility with larger markets covering several commodity departments.
The city publishes daily market information together with monthly and annual reports. A bulletin dated 16 October 2026 includes daikon, carrots, lotus root, spinach, cucumbers, aubergines, tomatoes, potatoes, mandarins and bananas. It provides a local reference for buyers comparing supplies. Seasonal products can remain on a standard form even when quantity or price is missing, so the product template must be distinguished from actual trading that day. Inclusion alone does not confirm stock available for a new order.
Units are especially important here. The retrieved report prices daikon by the piece and spinach by the bunch, while many other vegetables use kilograms; some mushrooms use packs. Comparing only the numerical figures would therefore be misleading. Establish the weight of a bunch or package and confirm tax treatment before setting offers alongside each other. High and low price columns do not automatically provide a transaction average.
Administration lists +81 835 29 3452 and directs shipment and purchasing enquiries to wholesaler Hofu Seika at +81 835 29 3111. The portal also provides application forms relating to buyer approval and intermediary operations. New participants should establish which process matches their intended activity. Purchasing through an existing business and operating an independent stand involve different organisational arrangements; neither should be inferred from access to the public website or the publication of a price table.
Suppliers should confirm product acceptance, quantity, packaging and unloading time before dispatch. Buyers should agree whether mixed orders and smaller or larger lots can be accommodated. For longer transport routes, compare the total delivered cost, including transfers and expected losses. Repeat supply also needs a payment deadline, shortage procedure and a way to record quality at handover. Annual statistics describe the market's scale, but only a current agreement with an identified counterparty confirms that a particular order can be fulfilled on the required day.
