The projected apple gross production in Japan is expected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the value stood at 342.00 million USD PPP, and it is anticipated to decrease to 331.11 million USD PPP by 2028. The year-on-year change reveals a consistent decline, with minor variations that underscore persistent downward pressure. Over the last two years, the market showed signs of contraction. The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) further underscores the trend with a continuous average decline each year.
Looking forward, key factors to monitor include Japan's aging farmer population, technological advancements in agriculture, climate change impacts, and shifting consumer preferences towards other fruits, which could further influence future apple production patterns.
