2–8 November 2026 | Singapore Wholesale Fruit Market
Singapore’s wholesale fruit market remained weak in Week 45, but availability varied sharply by fruit. Chinese lemons and Hami melons were plentiful, South African Valencia continued to face excess supply, and blueberries from China and Peru were abundant. Packham pears were harder to find in the wholesale trade.
That makes buying to a realistic selling window more useful than treating every lower price as an opportunity. The fruit’s condition, pack and likely time with the buyer still matter.
Lemons and Oranges: Supply Pressure Continues
Chinese lemons were reported to be abundant. South African Valencia also remained oversupplied, with a current 72pc carton offer at S$14.50.
These supply observations do not establish that every grade or pack is equally available. A buyer still needs to confirm the fruit, its condition and the terms for the actual lot.
Melons: Plenty of Fruit, Different Selling Levels
Ground feedback put some Chinese Hami melon lots at around S$13 per 10.5kg. The count, grade and selling terms for those lots were not supplied, so this is a reported selling indication rather than a general price for all Hami melons.
A separate China 86King Hami offer was S$17.50 for 10.5kg+ / 5pc. Buyers should inspect the specification before comparing the two. A difference in condition or size can matter as much as the headline carton price.
Other options included Chinese green-flesh musk melon at S$19.50 for 8.5kg+ / 5pc and 86King Hami at S$17 for 10kg+ / 6pc. Australian Heidi rockmelon offers also varied by brand, net weight and pack.
Blueberries: Abundance Across Two Origins
Trade observations indicated plentiful blueberry supply from China and Peru. Retail promotions gave consumers more prices to compare, but a small retail punnet is not directly equivalent to a wholesale carton.
For trade buying, berry size, firmness, pack weight and remaining selling time should be checked together. Abundant supply does not mean every lot will suit the same customer.
Apples: Envy and Joya Ease
New Zealand Envy 30pc SG eased from S$45.50 to S$43 (-5.5%). Other Envy grades and counts showed a different picture: 30pc HG stayed at S$55, 70pc HG at S$92 and 80pc HG at S$90.
South African Joya, in 18kg cartons, also softened. The 150pc carton moved from S$35.50 to S$34 (-4.2%), while 135pc moved from S$35.50 to S$34.50 (-2.8%). A 198pc carton was listed at S$34.
| Fruit and pack | Previous week | Week 45 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Zealand Envy, 30pc SG | S$45.50 | S$43.00 | −5.5% |
| South African Joya, 18kg / 150pc | S$35.50 | S$34.00 | −4.2% |
| South African Joya, 18kg / 135pc | S$35.50 | S$34.50 | −2.8% |
These are selected carton-price changes. Other counts, grades and fruit categories can move differently.
Packham Pears: Tighter Wholesale Availability
Packham pears were reported to be in short supply in the wholesale market. Retail Packham listings remained visible, which can coexist with tighter availability in the trade.
For a buyer who needs a particular size or delivery window, the practical step is to confirm availability before promising supply to customers.
Cherries, Grapes and Other Fruit
Chilean Royal Hazel and Tioga cherries were offered in 2.5kg packs: 30mm+ (3J) at S$51 and 32mm+ (4J) at S$58. The variety, grade and pack should remain part of any price discussion.
There was no new grape-specific ground observation in this week’s submission, so we are not drawing a fresh conclusion about wholesale grape prices. Other available offers included Hass avocados and Ecuadorian pitahaya, with differing origins, ripening status and counts.
The Commercial Read
Buy for the market you can serve. With lemons, Hami melons, Valencia and blueberries facing plentiful supply, a lower buying price still needs a credible route to customers. With Packham pears tighter, availability needs checking before a commitment is made.
The useful comparison is the fruit a buyer can sell in good condition, in the right pack, within the time available.
