Wakayama City Central Wholesale Market is a municipal fresh-food distribution facility at Nishihama 1660-401. The city profile describes operations beginning in 1974 and the division of trading activities into sectors. A prospective buyer therefore needs to identify a particular business and commodity category. The marketโs name alone does not identify the seller or imply that administration will issue one invoice for all goods available across the site.
The 2025 annual report also contains facility information as of 1 April 2026: a site area of 122,735.02 mยฒ and 27 authorised buying participants in the produce division. The latter category is not the combined total of wholesalers, intermediaries and shops. These figures do not establish how many places might be available to new businesses or how many firms would accept a particular supplierโs goods.
The publication reports quantities and values by commodity and period. Its vegetable section includes onions, cabbages, carrots, daikon, potatoes, cucumbers, nagaimo yam and lettuce. A trading-results page was verified, but a separate current public price list was not. Dividing annual value by quantity can support historical analysis but does not create a buying or selling offer for a defined grade and pack.
A buyer should specify expected net weight, grading and packaging and agree collection timing with the chosen business. Include order-assembly and transport costs, as well as any container deposit, when comparing offers. A retailer or restaurant may find the supplierโs ability to fulfil repeat orders at the required frequency more useful than the siteโs overall size. Agree how shortages or quality problems will be reported and whether substitutions are acceptable when a requested origin or variety is unavailable.
A supplier should establish who receives the goods, how quantity is acknowledged and when settlement occurs. Discuss partial deliveries and the treatment of unsold or rejected lots. The administrative contact listed alongside the statistics is +81 73 431-3161. Questions about access and infrastructure can be directed to administration, while a commercial price offer should come from the actual counterparty. Confirm current receiving hours before dispatch; an older timetable has not been presented here as a guarantee of service on a selected date. The practical suggestions support an initial business enquiry and require agreement with the firm that will handle the consignment.
What is priced: Fruit, Vegetables and potatoes, Fish and seafood
