Don't know if this is helpful.  Conventionally grown "regular" eggplant sells for about $1.50/# in Dominica.  We sell our organic Asian varieties (purples, blacks, greens, pinks, whites, stripes) for $3.50/#.  They are ever so much nicer, look gorgeous and usually sell out without problem.

Best wishes,

Karen

Hi
 
We are growing oriental eggplant this year (the longish skinny ones) and just starting to pick a few.  Any ideas on pricing?  We are not in an up-scale, urban area. 
 
As a second thought/question, if we cannot get them to sell at our roadside market, what might restaurant pricing be?
 
Thanks for any ideas.
