Mercato Ortofrutticolo di Lusia is a wholesale produce market in Rovigo province, Veneto. Operating since 1955, it provides an outlet for horticultural production from Polesine. Its operator describes annual throughput of 250,000 quintals, equivalent to approximately 25,000 tonnes, and more than 140 local supplying farms. These figures come from an undated profile, not a 2026 trading result. For buyers, the practical attraction is the concentration of grower supplies and the opportunity to establish relationships with businesses trading at the same location.
Featured local products include Insalata di Lusia PGI lettuce, Aglio Bianco Polesano PDO garlic, bunched carrots, radicchio, leeks and leafy vegetables. The operator also publishes seasonal availability guidance. Check geographical certification for the actual consignment: buying at this market does not establish that every product is certified. An enquiry should specify variety, head or root size, preparation and net pack weight. For delicate leaves, agree collection temperature and the interval between harvest and dispatch, rather than relying on the product name alone.
The contact page distinguishes produce intake from 08:30 to 09:00 and intake, trading and loading from 09:00 to 13:00. Administration lists +39 0425 607024 and +39 0425 607501, with info@mercatolusia.it as its email address. Confirm the operating day and acceptance time with the selected trader before arranging transport. The concession-holder directory helps identify potential counterparties. Useful questions include who invoices the purchase, whether the intermediary buys for its own account and who bears responsibility for unsold quantities.
A public example dated 7 December 2024 gives minimum, maximum and prevailing prices in EUR/kg, excluding packaging tare while including the packaging cost. It demonstrates the reporting format rather than a current offer. A blank product line does not establish that a transaction occurred that day. Retain the bulletin date, product category and packaging conditions when comparing its figures with a supplier quotation.
Sellers should agree quantity, delivery frequency and grading before shipping. For an initial order, clarify quality claims, weighing and the treatment of returnable crates. Buyers planning regular procurement may find a multi-product schedule useful because crops differ in seasonality and shelf life. A prevailing price multiplied by an entire forecast harvest is not assured revenue: quality grades, rejected produce, transport and agreed charges affect the final proceeds. The most useful comparison is between fully specified consignments collected on comparable dates, with responsibilities recorded before dispatch.
