The year-on-year growth rates suggest modest annual increases, highlighting a stable demand trend. Compared to 2023, when the supply stood at an estimated 40.8 thousand metric tons, the projections reflect a consistent upward trajectory over the period.

- Trade policies or import/export regulations that could affect almond availability in Japan.
