In 2023, the import of provisionally preserved cherries to the US stood at 7.37 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, projections indicate a steady annual increase in volume, with figures rising from 7.46 million kilograms in 2024 to 7.70 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth of approximately 0.85% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in domestic production and how they might impact import levels.
- Potential trade policy shifts that could affect import costs and volumes.
- Consumer trends leaning towards increased consumption or alternative fruit preferences.
