The forecast for Japan's import of mandarins, clementines, and citrus hybrids shows a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 21.376 million kilograms in 2024, the imports are expected to increase yearly by varying amounts, reaching 23.216 million kilograms by 2028. This consistent growth suggests a healthy demand for these citrus fruits in the Japanese market.

Key trends and future considerations:

Growth factors such as climate change impacting domestic production could increase reliance on imports.
Trade agreements and exchange rate fluctuations may influence import volumes and values.
Consumer preferences towards healthier diets could sustain or accelerate import growth.
