Japan: Stone Fruit Annual
Link to report:
Japan’s stone fruit consumption has remained steady during the COVID-19 pandemic, as domestic production continues to determine the availability of cherries and peaches. In MY 2021/22, frost damage diminished cherry production, while favorable weather boosted peach and nectarine harvest. Post estimates Japan’s MY 2022/23 cherry production recovered and peach production increased further. Japan’s nectarine imports remain stagnant, while imports of U.S. sweet cherries plummet due to increased import price of U.S. cherries.
