Edible Fat: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $2.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.20 at volume, on a typical 30-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.

What moves the price
For edible fat, the drivers are filtration grade, airflow resistance, electrostatic charge, material layer count, roll width, DEXRON/MERCON spec, friction modifier package, viscosity — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier quotes for edible fat are sparse, so the banding is anchored to bulk animal-fat wholesale prices and a US-facing edible-oils marketplace, with a premium applied for food-grade certification, traceability, and custom packaging. The most realistic routes are direct import/landed wholesale from factories or US import brokers; MOQ-driven marketplace listings and spot-commodity benchmarks move the price most, while tighter moisture/freeze-point specs and higher packaging weights push it up. Cocoa butter and branded shortening can be materially higher than the bands here, but they are not comparable to generic custom-manufactured edible fat at bulk B2B scale.
