The import volume of pineapples in Japan is projected to decline slightly over the next few years. In 2023, imports were at 194.0 thousand metric tons. Forecasts for 2024 and 2025 also predict imports of 194.0 thousand metric tons. However, a gradual decrease is anticipated from 2026 to 2028, with volumes decreasing to 193.0, then 192.0 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year variation becomes negative starting 2026, reflecting a decline trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from changes in trade policies, domestic agricultural initiatives, or shifts in consumer preferences, which could affect Japan's pineapple import requirements.
