Kochi’s municipal wholesale market is located at Kokadai 12-12 and provides a regional fresh-food distribution channel in southern Shikoku. The city reports 32,508 tonnes of vegetables and 8,752 tonnes of fruit for fiscal year 2025, covering April 2025 to March 2026. Fish are shown separately in the source table, so the total for every division is not assigned to plant products alone. The administration contact number is +81 88 883 1171.
The city publishes separate auction and negotiated-sale results. Its negotiated report for 29 October 2026 includes daikon, carrots, burdock, spinach, cucumbers, aubergines, tomatoes, peppers, myoga, okra, apples, mandarins and grapes. The middle quotation is the price associated with the greatest sales quantity; the low quotation follows a further rule below that middle value. These columns should not simply be interpreted as a conventional minimum, arithmetic average and maximum.
Buyers should retain the sales method, origin and unit alongside every observation. Large packs and small portions or bunches appear within one report. Comparing the monetary amounts without their units could reverse the apparent attractiveness of an offer. A catering buyer interested in products such as myoga or okra should separately ask about minimum order size and whether these can be added to a routine delivery of other vegetables. The published list is a reporting reference, not an order confirmation.
A supplier should establish which business will receive the consignment and how its quality will be assessed. For delicate products, agreed packaging, transport conditions and the deadline for reporting damage are useful. If settlement follows onward sale, request an explanation of the sales statement and deductions. The administrative office hours printed with the source are not automatically the timetable for every trading activity, so delivery scheduling requires a separate confirmation from the recipient.
Blank rows in a daily report should not be read as zero prices. Supply analysis works best when the same categories are compared across successive periods, retaining the distinction between fruit, vegetables and fish. Annual data help assess market scale, while a buying decision needs a quotation from a specific seller with agreed quantity, grade and collection time. Keep those commercial terms separate from the historical statistical observations used as background.
