Eggplant Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
Germany held the top of the four markets we track for the eggplant through the first half of the year 2026 (H1 2026), with Q2 closing at a value of USD 1.55/KG, down 12.9% from the USD 1.78 in Q1 as the spring supply arrived. Worldwide, the average eased to a value of USD 1.16/KG in Q2 2026, a fall of a 12.8% percent from the Q1 figure of USD 1.33, the seasonal swing shaping the market more than anything else.
The eggplant, or the aubergine, is a field and a greenhouse vegetable crop, so its price rides the harvest calendar, the weather, and the cold-chain freight. It sells as the fresh vegetable and as the processing feed for the frozen, the canned, and the paste routes. The fresh consumption leads by a wide margin, and the steady vegetable demand keeps the wider pull dependable.
Two things move the eggplant price the most: the harvest and the weather cycle, and the field-versus-greenhouse supply balance through the seasons. For the second half of 2026 (H2 2026), a range of an amount of USD 0.95 to 1.35/KG looks likely worldwide, with the peak-harvest supply pulling the prices toward the lower end.
Eggplant Price Forecast for 2026
Supply should build through the H2 2026 as the peak harvest arrives, which usually pulls the prices toward the lower end. The fresh demand held steady through the H1, and the year-round greenhouse supply keeps a floor under the off-season. China stays the lowest-cost source on its large base, while the United States and the Germany track well above on the import freight and the cold-chain.
The market sits set for a seasonal and a swinging move, the way the fresh produce trades. The bigger question for the buyers is the weather through the growing season, since a heat or a cold spell can tighten the fresh supply fast.
What could push the prices higher? A weather hit to the harvest, or a freight and a cold-chain squeeze. What could pull them lower? A strong peak-harvest set, or the greenhouse supply running long.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 0.95 - 1.35 | Peak-harvest supply pulls toward the low end |
| China | 0.62 - 0.92 | Large field and greenhouse base keeps China cheapest |
| India | 0.72 - 1.02 | Large domestic crop and import parity |
| United States | 1.20 - 1.60 | Import freight and cold-chain carry a premium |
| Germany | 1.32 - 1.75 | Import-reliant demand holds the top |
