Japan's table grape production is forecast to steadily decline from 38.9 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 19.36 thousand metric tons in 2028. In 2023, this figure was higher than the forecast for 2024, indicating a continuing downward trend. The year-on-year reduction highlights a significant drop in production by roughly 10-15% annually. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate suggests an average decrease of about 15% per year.

**Future trends to watch for:**

Impact of climate change on grape cultivation and quality.
Shifts in consumer preferences and domestic demand.
Technological advances in agriculture to potentially reverse the downward trend.
