Well, it's not quit a vegetable, but truffle is perhaps the most expensive food in the world - $50/ounce.

Does saffron count? It's a vegetation. But it is an herb. Otherwise, the vegetables that I see commonly in the grocery store that are most expensive per pound are orange and red bell peppers.

There is a fruit called a Durian and it's about $20 if you find it at the grocery store, but that's a fruit. Truffle mushrooms are expensive, but a fungus.

Artichokes
Why do people keep saying truffles? Theyre not a vegetable, theyre a fungi.

The answer to this is totally dependent on weather conditions during harvest. Also on a worldly basis it is impossible to say because every region within every country has not only different consumers but also different currencies.
Good question though.
