The forecast for the import of prepared or preserved citrus fruits to China shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, growing from 73.61 to 79.012 million kilograms. Compared to 2023, where imports stood at approximately 72 million kilograms, this represents a consistent year-on-year growth, averaging around 1.3% annually over the five years. This stable growth reflects China's increasing demand for processed citrus products.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in trade policies or tariffs that could affect import volumes.
- Domestic production shifts that might impact the need for imports.
- Consumer preference trends toward fresh versus processed fruits, influencing import demand.
