Wholesale arugula (rocket) prices on the European market

Arugula, also known as rocket, is a fast-growing leafy green increasingly popular across European food markets and restaurant supply chains. On the Fresh-market.info portal, we publish daily wholesale prices and market reports from major exchanges and wholesale markets in Poland (including Bronisze, Wroclaw, Poznan), as well as key EU countries — Italy, Portugal, Belgium, and Austria.

What types of arugula do we track?

For precise market analysis, we divide quotations into several important segments relevant to producers and traders:

• Cultivated arugula (Eruca sativa): the standard commercial variety with mild peppery flavour, widely grown in greenhouses
• Wild arugula (Diplotaxis): a more intensely flavoured variety, popular in premium salad mixes and gourmet markets
• Baby leaf arugula: harvested young for salad bags and fresh-cut products, a fast-growing segment in retail

Factors influencing arugula prices

Arugula prices are shaped by greenhouse production cycles, seasonal outdoor harvests, transport costs from southern European growers, and consumer demand for fresh salad products. Using price charts on Fresh-market.info, wholesale buyers and farmers can track historical trends and forecast price changes to secure the most favorable deals.
