Japan: Stone Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   JA2021-0114

Japan’s fresh cherry production in 2021/22 marketing year (MY) is estimated to fall to 13,000 metric tons due to severe frost damage in the largest domestic cherry-producing region. FAS/Tokyo forecasts that poor domestic production will lead to increased U.S. cherry imports in 2021/22 MY. For peaches and nectarines, FAS/Tokyo forecasts a slight recovery in Japanese production in 2021/22 MY over poor MY 2020/21 production levels.
