Seed: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $5.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.20 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $5.00 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $3.00 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $1.75 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $1.00 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $0.50 |
| 100,000+ units | $0.20 |
What moves the price
For seed, the drivers are capacity, material, outlet configuration, secondary containment, uv resistance, fitting size, level indication, nitrogen content — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real quoted wholesale seed pricing varies mainly by species, germination spec, treated vs untreated status, seed count or weight, and whether the order is packeted, bulk bagged, or palletized. Retail-style bulk seed sellers quote much higher per-unit prices for small lots, while true wholesale/seed-house routes such as commercial seed merchants, packet-fulfillment wholesalers, and pallet-quantity programs are the realistic sources for the lower tiers. Prices drop sharply at higher quantities because packaging and handling costs fall per unit, but specialty/low-volume varieties can stay materially above commodity crop-seed levels.
