Singapore Wholesale Fruit Market Report – Week 14, 2026

Heavy supply kept the Singapore fruit market soft in Week 14, while Australian stonefruit stood out as one of the better-performing categories.

Week 14 was a soft and supply-heavy week in the Singapore wholesale fruit market, with availability across many fruit categories exceeding the pace of demand. While activity improved slightly heading into Good Friday, overall movement remained measured, and Qingming Day did not bring the stronger uplift that the trade once expected, especially for pome and citrus.

Two of the most saturated categories were Egyptian Valencia oranges and blueberries. The market saw heavy Valencia availability, while blueberries overlapped from both China and Peru, creating a loose and competitive environment. In both categories, supply was easy to find, but sell-through remained slow.

Citrus stayed under pressure overall. Valencia oranges remained abundant, and pricing sentiment was weak, even during the holiday period. Lemon, however, showed a firmer tone, with new South African arrivals entering at higher opening levels and creating a split market between softer orange trading and stronger lemon positioning.

Grapes continued to be driven by quality and specification. Peru Autumn Crisps held relatively steady, while premium Australian lines maintained the higher end of the market. Demand was selective, with buyers still supporting top-tier grape specs rather than lifting the entire category evenly.

The clearest bright spot in Week 14 was Australian stonefruit. Plums, especially October Sun, moved well compared with the rest of the market, and ground feedback indicated stronger pricing versus Week 13. In an otherwise cautious trading week, stonefruit showed better momentum and healthier commercial support.

Pome remained widely available across New Zealand, China, and South Africa, but broad supply did not translate into stronger holiday demand. As seen in recent years, Qingming did not materially lift wholesale volume for pome and citrus, keeping the market tone soft and competitive.

For Week 14, the key takeaway was clear: supply was ample, but buyer urgency was limited. Categories facing the most overlap, such as oranges and blueberries, came under the greatest pressure, while Australian stonefruit delivered one of the week’s stronger performances.
