Germany: Overview on the German Cherry Sector - 2024

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   GM2024-0007
Germany is the third-largest importer of sweet and sour cherries in the world. Between 52 and 77 percent of the cherries consumed in Germany are imported, mostly from other EU member states. The German Federal Office of Statistics estimates cherry production for MY2024/25 (April/March) at 41,085 MT, but final production may be lower due to weather conditions. Opportunities for U.S. sweet cherries are best in August/September, after the German domestic growing season.
