Japan’s fresh cherry production has been substantially impacted by a changing climate. Fresh cherry production in the 2024/25 marketing year (MY) is estimated to fall to 14,700 metric tons (MT) because of damage from high temperatures in the largest volume production region. FAS/Tokyo forecasts that decreased domestic production will result in increased U.S. cherry imports to 5,600 MT for the 2024/25 MY. FAS/Tokyo forecasts Japan’s peach production to remain relatively the same as the previous year. FAS/Tokyo also forecasts that U.S. nectarine imports to Japan will remain relatively unchanged.
