In 2023, Japan's import of onions, shallots, garlic, and leeks stood at $270 million USD. From 2024 onwards, a steady upward trend is forecasted, with imports expected to reach $282.46 million USD by 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year growth of approximately 1% per annum. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period from 2024 to 2028 is anticipated to be around 1.13%, indicating modest and sustained growth.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential changes in consumer preferences towards local produce could impact imports.
- Trade policies and international relations affecting import duties and tariffs.
- Fluctuations in domestic production due to climate conditions could alter import needs.
