In 2023, Japan's import volume of fresh cherries was recorded at approximately 2 million kilograms. Starting in 2024, a significant downward trend is forecasted, with imports dropping steadily to about 0.17 million kilograms by 2028. This demonstrates a consistent decline with a CAGR of -32.68% over the five-year forecast period.
Factors influencing this decline may include shifts in domestic consumption preferences, increased local production, or trade policy changes. Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in trade partnerships, possible innovations in cherry cultivation affecting supply, and changing consumer demand in Japan's fresh produce sector.
