Yamagata City Public Local Wholesale Market distributes fresh food in the capital of Yamagata Prefecture. The Urushiyama 1420 site accommodates produce trading and a separate aquatic-products department. For market research, its useful feature is the combination of annual statistics and daily transaction information. This lets a prospective user distinguish the scale of the business from the short-term position of a particular product. The market is a physical supply channel, not a venue for agricultural futures contracts.
In calendar year 2025, the produce department recorded 21,113,009 kg and JPY 7,247,978,182. This table also includes eggs and processed goods; it is not exclusively fresh-fruit tonnage. The source specifies tax-inclusive values. The period runs from 1 January to 31 December and should not automatically be compared with a Japanese fiscal year. These figures do not represent the aquatic-products department's total business.
A buyer can approach the relevant wholesaler with varieties, grade, packaging and intended delivery dates. Variety names are especially useful for apples and pears: the reporting distinguishes products including Fuji, Orin and La France. An average for fruit as a whole should not be assumed to represent any one of them. Confirm registration and collection procedures before visiting, since the municipal information page is not itself an ordering service. Ask the counterparty which available lots match the intended retail, catering or processing use.
A supplier should establish whether the proposed shipment will be auctioned, sold through negotiation or covered by a separate arrangement. A harvest forecast, carton count and information on consistency within the lot will help the discussion. Separate the sale price from net proceeds after commission and logistics. For perishable goods, agree a receiving deadline and a procedure for unsold stock. The directory does not assign unverified charges or minimum order quantities to the businesses; these must be settled before dispatch.
The price channel is classified P. The municipal report for 30 October 2026 separates realised sales quantities and prices from expected arrivals on the following day, and identifies auction and negotiated transactions. It covers numerous vegetables, mushrooms and selected fruits. Units vary between kilograms, bunches, bags and packs. Preserve these labels when comparing suppliers and check whether a quantity is a completed sale or merely a forecast. The publication supports price orientation, while the counterparty supplies the binding offer. A later update should replace the observation date as well as the figures so that old information is not mistaken for today's market.
