Gypsum: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.105 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.055 at volume, on a typical 14-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 gypsum, 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 supplier quotes cluster around $60–$120 per metric ton for bulk agricultural gypsum from import/trade listings, while US retail/wholesale bag-and-super-sack offerings are much higher on a per-ton basis, so the ladder above reflects landed-equivalent bulk economics rather than bagged retail. The price is mainly driven by freight distance, purity/analysis (for example ~86% calcium sulfate versus lower-grade material), and packaging size; granule vs. powder also affects handling and dust-control costs. Realistic supplier routes are direct bulk ag-lime/soil-amendment distributors, import brokers on trade marketplaces, or regional quarry/mineral suppliers selling truckload and super-sack quantities.
