Fruit Wholesale Market Report in Week 41

Chilean imported avocados hit the market, while Thai durian prices fall

There are still not many citrus fruits from South Africa. Domestic apples and oranges are entering the market one after another.

The imported avocados currently on the market come from Peru, Chile, New Zealand, Mexico, and Yunnan. According to the merchants, buyers are looking for more domestic avocados because the price is relatively cheap, about 30% cheaper than imported avocados. At present, imported avocados are better in terms of uniform size and taste.

Peruvian avocados are at the end of their season, with few arrivals and the overall performance of this season is good. So the current price has not changed much compared to the last two weeks. Chilean avocados, which were launched last week, did not arrive in great quantities and were priced close to Peruvian avocados. Among them, some merchants expressed their intention to purchase Chilean avocados in two weeks, when their maturity and flesh color will be better. In addition, there are not many avocados from New Zealand and Mexico.

New brands of Peruvian blueberries are arriving one after another. Due to the lack of overall blueberry arrivals recently, prices of different brands have increased by more than 10%.

There are not many fruits coming from South Africa, and prices have risen last week. The price of oranges from South Africa is roughly the same as last week. The grapefruit season in southern South Africa is coming to an end, and the volume is small. The price is rising. In addition, domestic grapefruits have been listed one after another.

There are not many new arrivals of imported apples this week, and the loss is relatively large because it is at the end of the production season. The recent sales are not ideal.

In terms of imported kiwifruit, although a large number of domestic kiwifruits are currently on the market, merchants said that the impact on imported kiwifruit is not great. Due to the recent lack of arrivals, the price has continued to rise slightly, but not by much.

The price of Vietnamese durian is basically the same as last week, about 900 yuan/box. The recent sales are average, but it is better to sell when the price briefly rises to more than 1,000 yuan last week. The Thai Golden Pillow Durian is approaching the end of the production season, and the price dropped recently. The current price is about 800-900 yuan/box, while the price was still higher than 1,000 yuan last week. Some merchants said that the impact of Vietnamese durians is one of the important reasons for the decline in the prices of Thai durian.

American "emerald" plums are imported plums that are currently sold by many merchants. The current price is slightly higher than the same period of previous years, and the taste is also good. But the sales are not as good as in previous years.

A small number of South African pears arrived, and they sold out smoothly. In addition, Dutch pears are also available in small quantities.
