Japan: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   JA2023-0001
Japan’s MY 2022/23 mandarin production recovers from last year’s historically lowest production. However, overall Japanese citrus planted area and production is on a downward trend amidst aging farmers, labor shortages, and a lack of successors for running farms. Japanese yen depreciation is projected to impact consumption of largely imported oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and orange juice. Stocks of orange juice is limited, causing sales of some orange juice products to be suspended.
