In 2023, Japan's primary fruit yield was recorded at 163.5 thousand hectograms per hectare. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady decline in yield, dropping from 162.96 to 160.51 thousand hectograms per hectare. The observed trend signifies a continuous annual decrease of approximately 0.3% to 0.4%. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative, suggesting a consistent decline in yield.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impact of climate change and extreme weather conditions on yield.
- Technological advancements in agriculture that could improve yields per hectare.
- Potential shifts in domestic fruit consumption patterns and their implications for local producers.
