Germany: Stone Fruit Report

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Germany is the third-largest importer of cherries in the world after China and Hong Kong. From 2014 to 2017, between 54 and 74 percent of the cherries consumed in Germany were imported, with the majority of imports originating in other EU-28 member states. The largest non-EU cherry suppliers are Turkey for sweet cherries and Serbia for tart cherries. Total German cherry production for CY 2018 is estimated at 61,100 MT. This represents an increase of 146 percent compared to record low production of CY 2017 and 34 percent compared to the historical (2008-2017) ten year average. Opportunities for U.S. sweet cherries are best in August/September subsequent to the German domestic growing season.
