The gross production of tangerines, satsumas, clementines, and mandarines in Japan is experiencing a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 305.26 to 281.65 million US dollars PPP. This represents an average yearly decline of approximately 1.6% in this five-year period. The year-on-year decrease suggests a downward trend in the market, driven by factors such as changing consumer preferences, market saturation, or agricultural challenges. In 2023, the baseline value stood just above this forecast range, highlighting the persistent decline.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential innovations in farming practices to boost productivity.
- Shifts in consumer preferences influencing demand.
- Trade and economic policies affecting production costs and market access.
