Best 10 Wholesale Durian Importers in Singapore 2026

Singapore has zero durian orchards. Every mousy orange husk crossing the Causeway comes from Pahang, Johor, or Penang orchards, passes an SFA import check, and lands in a cold room at Pasir Panjang or a private facility. The wholesale chain splits cleanly into two formats: whole fruit in 10–12 kg reusable plastic crates, and frozen vacuum-packed pulp kept at -18°C. Below are the operators that control the actual supply volume, graded by farm contracts, cold-chain discipline, and 2026 contract pricing for restaurants, bakeries, and corporate buyers.

1. Leong Toh Pte Ltd

Leong Toh is the closest thing to a “full-line” durian importer in Singapore. They buy on fixed-season contracts from 12 farms along the Bentong–Raub highland belt in Pahang, a 6-hour truck ride from Singapore. Each crate carries an orchard ID and a picking date stamped in the plastic; their cold room at Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre holds whole fruit at 14°C, which stretches shelf life from 2 days (typical market handling) to 4 days.

They feed hotel buffet lines and Chinese restaurant chains that need predictable volume. For the 2026 season, their standard deliverable contract is roughly SGD 24–26 per kg for Grade A Mao Shan Wang (MSW), including delivery in their own refrigerated van.

2. Combat Durian

Combat runs its own farms in Raub, which makes it less of a trading house and more of a vertical supplier. Their logistics fleet uses mobile chillers set to 13°C, and they run a daily pre-order system: orders close at 3pm, fruit is picked in Raub that evening, and arrives at Singapore wholesale clients before 7am the next day.

They were early to adopt sealed vacuum-packed frozen whole fruit for last-mile players like Lalamove and GrabExpress. That packaging lets restaurants stock MSW outside the July–September peak without re-buying from a cold store. A 2026 wholesale crate of 10kg frozen MSW runs about SGD 220–250 delivered.

3. Durian 36

Durian 36 has been operating since 1982 at Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre. Roughly 80% of its revenue is wholesale, and its edge is cluster grading: Grade AAAA fruit must have full-flesh chambers and zero flat seeds. They grade by hand on the loading dock, not by orchard reputation.

Their biggest buyer segment is dim sum kitchens and Singapore pastry makers who need predictable flesh texture for durian puffs and fillings. They supply pre-batched puree in 5kg tubs on a fixed weekly schedule, which takes blender load off the kitchen and standardises moisture content for dough recipes.

4. Kwan’s Durian

Kwan’s is the main importer of the “Da Ma Hei” (black gold) profile from Balik Pulau, Penang — an 8-hour drive from Singapore, the longest supply run in this list. Their logistics department plans delivery routes to miss peak immigration queues at Tuas, effectively giving them a 6am unloading window at cold stores.

For restaurants, Kwan’s operates a bi-weekly minimum contract of 50 kg with split pricing: MSW at a different rate than D24, and both are quoted per fruit, not per kg, because on-tree sizing varies. Their team also runs corporate durian buffet setups for office events, using cut-pulp platters and 2-hour delivery windows across the central business district.

5. Ah Seng Durian

Ah Seng runs the Ghim Moh retail kiosks, but the wholesale arm moves far more volume. Their distinguishing practice is field-level sugar testing: they use handheld refractometers to measure Brix content (52% and above for premium MSW) before the crate leaves the orchard.

They separate “semi-ripe” from “ripe” at the farm. Semi-ripe fruit goes to hotels and dessert shops that will hold stock for 2–3 days; ripe fruit is scheduled for same-day delivery to retailers. Their 2026 price book is updated twice daily on a Telegram channel reserved for registered wholesale clients — no formula, just real farm pickings.

6. 99 Old Trees Durian

As the name implies, 99 Old Trees specialises in fruit from trees aged 40 years and older, growing around Bentong. These old-tree varieties produce smaller, denser flesh with higher fat content and are priced at a premium. Their import volume is intentionally small — roughly 200–300 crates a day in peak season — which lets them reject fruit with open husks at the origin, before loading.

They will not sell through repackagers. Every box is delivered directly to the final outlet — Chinese restaurants and private members’ clubs — with an origin tag that lists the specific tree block. A 2026 contract for old-tree Musang King starts at SGD 32 per kg delivered.

7. Durian Empire

Durian Empire is an aggregator with a twist: they own ripening chambers in a Ubi warehouse. Fruit is imported semi-ripe, then ripened on-site at controlled humidity. That gives them a wider delivery window than farm-direct rivals, and it allows them to guarantee 2-hour delivery slots to CBD offices and 4-hour slots islandwide for corporate clients.

Their core product is the “durian buffet set-up”: cut-pulp platters, claw crackers, gloves, and wet wipes delivered in insulated crates. They also use QR-coded inventory labels so event planners can audit which orchard supplied each platter.

8. Wang Wang Fruit Supply

Wang Wang is one of the larger fruit wholesalers in Singapore, and durians are a core line, not a side product. They operate 10-tonne trucks and handle their own cross-border customs clearance. In peak season they import 2,000–3,000 kg a day through the Tuas checkpoint and redistribute to smaller wholesalers that lack SFA import permits.

Their warehouse acts as a hub: restaurants that need consistent supply without signing a single-farm contract can buy day-to-day from Wang Wang at a slightly higher rate than a direct contract, with no minimum volume. They also supply durian paste makers and catering operations that cook durian in bulk for chinese banquet menus and Nyonya desserts.

9. D’Land Durian

D’Land focuses on the Johor supply axis — Segamat and Muar — where orchards are only 3.5 hours from Singapore. Their “wet harvest” process means fruit is picked at 6am, screened by ripeness at the farm, and sitting in a Singapore cold room by 5pm the same day. That speed matters for D24, which loses aroma quickly.

Their wholesale division sells stemmed fruit in 10–12 kg crates with stems trimmed to 5 cm to reduce puncturing during transport. A major buyer segment is snow-skin mochi bakeries and dessert shops that need D24 pulp with consistent water content for rolling and wrapping. They also stock frozen D24 pulp in 5kg tubs for out-of-season orders.

10. Sin Hup Lee

Sin Hup Lee is one of Singapore’s oldest fruit importers, and it runs a true dual-temperature operation at Pasir Panjang: fresh durian at 14°C, frozen pulp and whole frozen fruit at -18°C. The frozen line is their real value for 2026 — restaurants can buy frozen MSW pulp in 5 kg tubs year-round, removing seasonality from the menu.

They also supply an economy line of mixed-variety whole fruit (mostly kampung durians) at around SGD 8–10 per kg for processing kitchens that boil durian into sauces or deep-fry them. Their logistics is straightforward: minimal online ordering, maximum phone and fax ordering from older F&B accounts.
