The melon production in Japan is on a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 118.56 thousand metric tons in 2024 and reaching 98.07 thousand metric tons by 2028. Compared to the production level in 2023, this downward trajectory is consistent, with annual reductions suggesting a year-on-year decrease, which translates into a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflective of a steady decrease over these five years.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increased domestic competition among fruit growers and potential shifts in consumer preference towards foreign imported melons.
Climate change effects potentially impacting agricultural yields and altering the patterns of melon cultivation.
Potential innovations in farming practices or technology that could alter current trends in production efficiency and volume.
