Japan: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Domestic production of mandarins/tangerines and hybrids has been trending down while farmers continue to exit and consumers substitute other fruits and sweets for citrus. Retail prices of oranges, grapefruit and lemon have surged over the last two years due to a weaker yen and tight global supplies, further reducing Japanese consumption. While overall numbers remain small, increased Japanese lemon production reveals underlying consumer preferences and shifts within Japanese citrus production.
