Bassano del Grappa's municipal wholesale produce market operates at Via del Mercato 5 in Vicenza province. An article dated 6 October 2022 describes a facility established in 1966 and annual activity of approximately 200,000 quintals of fruit and vegetables, equivalent to roughly 20,000 tonnes. This is historical operating context, not a verified current-year result. The venue can provide a procurement point for local shops and food-service businesses and an outlet for produce entering regional distribution.
The municipal access guide identifies eligible professional buyer categories, including wholesalers, shops, mobile traders, catering businesses, institutional kitchens and farms selling directly. It requires a valid personal access card and describes annual renewal. Before a first visit, establish the application process and required documents. Being able to visit the site should not be confused with entitlement to participate in every form of trading. The market contact number is +39 0424 519595. Confirm the intended purchasing route with administration before committing transport or collection staff.
The published guide gives professional purchasing hours of 14:30–18:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and 07:00–10:30 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. It lists vehicle entry at EUR 1 per visit or EUR 36 for an annual subscription. Recheck the document before travelling, particularly for holiday exceptions or revised charges. The alternating morning and afternoon sessions matter when planning a route with several collection points. Vehicle access arrangements should be agreed independently of the seller's order-readiness time.
The wholesale regulations list a broad produce assortment, including apples, pears, oranges, bananas, strawberries, asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes and radicchio. They also specify product-dependent minimum purchases. As this is an older document, confirm today's minimum with administration and the seller. A price comparison needs to establish whether the unit is kilograms, pieces, bunches or a complete container and whether several items can be combined in one order. The published list describes authorised product categories rather than a real-time stock inventory.
That does not establish that the market collects no pricing information. Buyers should request the latest bulletin or a written quotation from an identified business. Sellers should agree a recipient, delivery timing, grading and payment arrangements before dispatch. A trial consignment with clear quality-assessment terms is useful for a new relationship. The scale of the whole market does not establish demand for a particular variety or grade, so regular volumes should follow actual counterparty agreement rather than the headline throughput figure.
What is priced: Fruit and vegetables
