Imported grapes and stone fruits remain the most sought-after fruits in the market.

Indian green grapes have arrived, but traders report that supply is still limited, and their market entry was delayed compared to previous years. Despite this, prices remain similar to past seasons. Peruvian red grapes are also arriving in small quantities, with prices ranging from ¥170 to ¥220 per piece, depending on the brand and quality. Australian Crimson grapes entered the market in small volumes last week, with supply gradually increasing this week. Current selling prices range from ¥270-¥280 to over ¥300. Traders note that due to higher Australian grape production and increased shipments, overall prices are lower than before. However, premium brands still maintain relatively high prices. It is expected that both taste and arrival quality will improve by March. Some traders also highlighted that grapes from Peru, Chile, and India have arrived later than usual this season, with limited supply. Additionally, the flavor and sweetness of these grapes are still developing and will reach peak quality in the coming weeks.

New Zealand apples have started arriving, though supply remains limited. Traders report that both large and small fruit sizes are available, with prices comparable to previous seasons. Currently, American apples dominate the imported apple market. However, some traders noted that this season's overall quality of American apples has been less than ideal, affecting sales. As New Zealand apples enter the market in greater quantities, demand for American apples is expected to decline further.
Various Chilean plums
The variety and supply of Chilean stone fruits have increased significantly. Traders report that sales are evenly distributed across different plum varieties, with no single variety leading the market. In recent years, Red Phoenix plums and Cherry plums have been particularly popular. Currently, Red Phoenix plums are selling for approximately ¥230-¥240 per piece, about 10% lower than previous seasons. The price of Cherry plums has also dropped since last year. Traders note that supply is still ramping up, and the taste of plums will improve over time. Some arrivals are relatively firm, and certain batches show less fruit bloom on the surface. As Chilean plum supply continues to increase, prices have fallen rapidly—down approximately 10% from last week.

Chinese blueberries have entered the market in large volumes, leading to a continued decline in prices. Traders generally describe the quality and flavor as good, and the price drop has boosted sales momentum. Currently, 15mm+ blueberries are selling for around ¥100 per piece, while 18mm+ ranges from ¥100-¥120 per piece. The 22mm+ size is priced about ¥10 higher than 18mm+. The price gap between different sizes has narrowed. Some traders pointed out that 15mm+ and 22mm+ blueberries are the best sellers, as they cater to different consumer preferences—some preferring a balance of sweetness and acidity, while others favor a purely sweet taste. The presence of a strong white bloom on the berries is also an important selling point. Others noted that sales across different specifications remain relatively balanced.

The supply of young coconuts from Thailand remains low. Since October last year, adverse weather conditions have impacted production, leading to reduced shipments and significantly higher prices compared to previous years. Currently, large young coconuts are selling for ¥90-¥100 per piece—about 40% higher than the same period in previous years. As this is not the peak season for young coconut consumption and prices remain high, sales have been relatively slow.
