In 2023, Japan's import of peaches and nectarines was approximately 300 metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent upward trend, with projected values growing from 306 metric tons in 2024 to 327 metric tons in 2028. The year-on-year growth rates are modest, indicating a steady increase of about 2% each year. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to be around 1.7%.
Future trends to watch for include changes in consumer preferences toward different fruit varieties, potential trade agreements influencing import volumes, and climate impacts on domestic production which might alter import needs.
