Week 45 Wholesale Fruit Market Report

Cherry volume increases, price drops sharply, Vietnamese Kanyao durians arrive

The arrival volume of cherries has significantly increased, causing a sharp drop in prices compared to last week. This has spurred market activity. For example, the Santina variety 2.5kg 2J specification is now priced at approximately ¥350–¥380 per box, while the two-in-one 2J specification is selling for about ¥750 per box—a 40–45% decrease from last week. Traders report that the quality of the current arrivals is high, even better than last year. The current pricing is comparable to the same period last year, with substantial price reductions aimed at driving sales. Many traders note that lower prices are smoothing sales flow.

Peruvian blueberries exhibit price variations depending on brand and variety, and the overall price dropped slightly compared with last week. Sweet varieties average ¥115–¥120 per box, with premium brands selling at 10–15% higher. The Pop variety remains stable at ¥130 per box, while the Ventura variety has dropped to ¥95–¥100 per box. The quality of arriving Peruvian blueberries is good overall. Additionally, a small batch of pure sweet Yunnan blueberries has arrived, fetching a premium price of nearly ¥200 per box.

Vietnamese Kanyao durians have started to arrive, with the A3 specification selling at around ¥430 per box. Traders note that production area costs have driven up market prices, which are now higher than last year. The quality of arrivals is stable. Meanwhile, Monthong durians from Thailand and Vietnam are scarce, and prices remain high for the limited supply available.

A small volume of Hainan golden diamond pineapples has entered the market, but as this is the early stage of the season, the fruits currently have a sweet-and-sour taste. Import volumes of pineapples are declining, and dealers predict an imminent price increase as supply tightens.
