Fresh Thai Longan Supplier & Exporter from Thailand

E-Dor / E-Daw / Daw Longan

The Daw cultivar is commercially important in Thailand and appears under several trade spellings. ThaiMahapoke uses E-Dor / Daw as buyer-facing terminology while the final cultivar is confirmed with the supply source.

Selected Thai Longan Cultivars

Other Thai longan cultivars may be considered according to season, destination market, buyer preference and current supplier availability.

Cluster / Stem / Loose Presentation

Stem or cluster presentation, trimming and loose-fruit requirements should be stated where commercially important. Final presentation is subject to buyer specification and supplier capability.

Size / Grading Requirements

Buyers may specify a preferred commercial size, grading basis, fruit-count basis or acceptable size range. ThaiMahapoke does not publish an invented universal A/AA/AAA grading table as its own standard.

Maturity Requirements

Longan is a non-climacteric fruit, so the intended commercial maturity should be agreed before packing rather than relying on substantial ripening after harvest.

Commercial Identity

• Fresh whole tropical fruit
• Country of origin: Thailand
• Botanical name: Dimocarpus longan Lour.
• Thin brown to yellow-brown rind
• Translucent-to-white edible flesh surrounding a seed
• Commercially selected by variety, size, maturity, condition and packing

Corrugated Export Cartons

Export cartons may be considered for wholesale and distributor programs. Exact dimensions, net weight, internal arrangement and ventilation are confirmed from the final specification.

Ventilated Commercial Packing

Ventilation should be evaluated together with fruit condition, moisture management, handling and the agreed cold-chain or transport program.

Basket / Crate Formats

Commercial basket or crate formats may be discussed where suitable and available. Final feasibility depends on supplier capability, destination and shipment requirements.

Retail-Ready Formats

Smaller consumer packs, bags, trays or labeled retail units may be considered subject to order quantity, packaging materials and supplier capability.

Buyer-Specific Labels

Product name, country of origin, barcode, buyer information and destination-market labeling can be reviewed according to the agreed packing program.

Final Packing Confirmation

Pieces per carton, net/gross weight, pallet quantity and container loading quantity are not assumed and are confirmed only after the final commercial specification is established.

Fresh Produce Importers

For import programs requiring Thai tropical fruit with clearly defined variety, size, condition, packing and destination requirements.

Wholesalers & Distributors

For redistribution to produce markets, grocery channels, specialty retailers and food-service customers where pack consistency and arrival condition matter.

Supermarkets & Grocery Chains

Retail programs may emphasize visual consistency, sizing, labeling, retail presentation, traceability requirements and controlled handling.

Asian Grocery & Specialty Produce

Fresh longan is particularly relevant to tropical-fruit and Asian produce assortments handled by specialty importers and distributors.

Selected Food-Service Buyers

Hotels, restaurants and food-service distributors may source whole fresh longan for fruit presentation, desserts and specialty menu applications.

Fresh Whole Fruit Focus

This page targets fresh whole longan. Dried, frozen, canned and ingredient enquiries represent different commercial specifications and should be handled separately.

Buyer Branding

Importer, distributor or retailer branding may be considered subject to supplier and packaging capability.

Custom Labels

Product identity, origin, barcode, importer information and other required label data can be reviewed against destination requirements.

Custom Pack Configuration

Buyer-defined carton or retail presentation may be evaluated according to fruit specification, order quantity, packing materials and logistics needs.

1. Confirm the Cultivar

If the market requires E-Dor / Daw, state it clearly in the RFQ. Do not rely only on the generic description “Thai longan” when the cultivar is commercially important.

2. Define the Size or Grading Basis

Ask how the applicable supplier defines size or grade and confirm the required range or tolerance. Avoid assuming that every supplier uses the same grade terminology.

3. Specify Commercial Maturity

Because longan is non-climacteric, the buyer should define the required commercial maturity rather than relying on substantial ripening after harvest.

4. Define Rind Appearance

State acceptable limits for browning, cracking, visible decay, physical damage and other external defects important to the destination market.

5. Confirm Fruit Presentation

Where relevant, specify clustered, trimmed or loose presentation and any stem requirements before the packing configuration is finalized.

6. Match Packaging to Distribution

Review protection, ventilation, moisture management, handling and retail presentation together rather than selecting packaging only by carton appearance.

7. Confirm Destination Requirements Early

Plant-health documentation, treatment, residue limits, labeling and import procedures can vary by destination and should be checked before packing and shipment planning.

8. Compare Air vs. Sea Freight

Evaluate transit time, quantity, product condition, treatment, packaging, cold-chain requirements and total commercial risk—not freight price alone.

9. Confirm Inspection Criteria

If pre-shipment inspection is required, define the scope, acceptance criteria and responsible inspection party before order confirmation.
