Yamagata Municipal Local Wholesale Market is at Urushiyama 1420. It distributes fruit, vegetables and fishery products. The facility profile updated in 2022 reports 115,634.64 square metres of land and 1,540 parking spaces. These figures describe infrastructure in the source publication, rather than 2026 trading performance. Businesses planning to operate there should separately check the present availability of storage, refrigeration or selling space. Physical scale alone does not indicate whether a particular service is available to a new customer.
The report dated 29 October 2026 includes daikon, carrots, cabbage, spinach, broccoli, cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, shiitake mushrooms, Fuji and Orin apples and La France pears. This demonstrates the level of product identification used in the reports. Buyers should use matching descriptions in enquiries and also specify fruit size, maturity and packaging. Ordering only the broad category of apples can result in a product different from the one intended. For repeat supply, agree on how substitutions and changes of origin will be communicated before dispatch.
Administrative contacts are +81 23 686 5314 and chihoichiba@city.yamagata-yamagata.lg.jp. A new participant should ask about the applicable buying route, calendar and businesses covering the intended category. Establish whether collection is directly from a wholesaler or through an intermediary. Suppliers and carriers need the precise unloading point and the receiving person's contact details. The address of the whole market is not sufficient for scheduling an efficient arrival, particularly when a shipment combines goods for more than one company.
Sellers should prepare a specification and realistic delivery schedule, especially for seasonal fruit. Negotiations should address when quality is assessed, how weight is recorded, responsibility for packaging and payment timing. Where chilling is required, agree on acceptance conditions and what happens if the truck is delayed. Profitability calculations also need delivery costs and potential deductions, since a price in a market report is not automatically the grower's net receipt. A written agreement helps separate these commercial terms from the public statistical information used as a reference.
The official price channel covers produce and fish. The retrieved report uses several units, including kilograms, bunches and packs, so a mechanical comparison of numerical prices would be misleading. Retain the observation date and transaction method, and leave unavailable values missing rather than replacing them with zero. A forecast arrival quantity is useful planning information but should not be recorded as stock already traded or guaranteed for purchase.
What is priced: Fruit, Vegetables and potatoes, Fish and seafood, Honey, hops, tobacco and other speciality crops
