Singapore Wholesale Fruit Market Update – Week 28, 2026

Plentiful supply continued to weigh on prices as wholesale activity remained slow.

The Singapore wholesale fruit market remained quiet in Week 28, with limited trading activity and cautious buying across most categories.

Supply was generally comfortable, particularly for lemons, melons, cherries and blueberries. With demand still slow, importers and wholesalers continued to adjust prices to encourage movement.

U.S. Cherry Prices Continue to Ease

U.S. cherry prices continued their downward trend this week.

Sweetheart and Lapin cherries were among the varieties showing notable week-on-week reductions. The softer pricing reflects continued supply availability alongside restrained market demand.

For buyers, the lower market level may provide more opportunities for promotions and volume purchases. However, careful stock management remains important while overall consumer demand is subdued.

Plentiful Lemon Supply Drives Aggressive Pricing

Lemon supply remained plentiful, leading importers to reduce prices aggressively.

South African lemon quotations softened further this week, including both 88-count and 113-count specifications. Competition between suppliers is likely to remain strong while stocks are readily available.

Buyers may benefit from the current pricing environment, although purchasing should continue to be matched closely with actual movement.

Melon Availability Remains High

There was also no shortage of melons in the wholesale market.

Australian rockmelons and China honey or Hami melons remained widely available, with several quotations moving lower under continued supply pressure.

With multiple origins and specifications competing for buyer attention, melon pricing is expected to remain competitive in the near term.

More U.S. Peaches Enter the Market

The supply of U.S. peaches is beginning to build, with new incoming peach listings appearing in this week’s quotations.

New stonefruit offerings included U.S. white peaches, Spain donut peaches and Turkey sugar apricots. These arrivals provide buyers with a broader seasonal selection, even though general market activity remains slow.

As more U.S. peaches arrive, quality, sizing and landed cost will be important factors in determining how quickly the fruit moves through the market.

Blueberry Supply Remains Stable

Blueberries from Peru and Zimbabwe continued to arrive steadily.

Pricing was generally softer for several listings, but supply remained consistent rather than excessive. This gives buyers a stable range of origins while allowing room for selective purchasing according to quality, pack format and customer requirements.

Grape Selection Remains Limited

Grape availability was comparatively limited this week.

China Shine Muscat remained one of the more visible options in the market. U.S. grapes were also still available, although current pricing was less attractive than during the previous season.

The limited selection may support individual grape lines, but buyers are likely to remain selective while the wider fruit market stays slow.

New Fruit Listings Expand Buyer Choice

Besides the new stonefruit arrivals, other new listings this week included Australian Washington Navel oranges and China Golden and Namshui pears.

These additions broaden the available product mix and provide buyers with more sourcing options. However, the slow market means purchasing decisions are likely to remain focused on reliable movement, suitable specifications and competitive pricing.

Week 28 Buying Outlook

The main feature of Week 28 was plentiful supply meeting weak demand.

Cherries, lemons, melons and blueberries remained under varying degrees of price pressure, while incoming U.S. peaches added seasonal interest to the market.

For wholesale buyers, the present environment offers opportunities to secure competitive prices. At the same time, disciplined stock planning remains essential, especially for highly perishable categories.
