China: US 2025 Cherry Season Demonstrates Resilience in the Face of Challenges
According to the industry, the end of August is also the end of 2025 U.S. cherry shipments to China. As the season comes to an end, shipments reached an estimated 65 percent of last year’s volume - reflecting resilience in a difficult environment. U.S. varieties remained in strong demand, as U.S. shipments were hampered by tariffs, competition, and disruptions. Many importers remained committed to U.S. cherries, despite shrinking profit margins. The 2025 season underscores China’s continued importance alongside ongoing efforts to accomplish greater market diversification.
