Japan: Citrus Annual
Link to report:
Japan’s Unshu Mikan production is expected to recover in MY 2020/21 following poor harvest in MY 2019/20. Increased household consumption of oranges due to the COVID-19 pandemic will lead to a modest boost in imports of fresh oranges. Reflecting a COVID-19-driven decline in hotel, restaurant and institutional (HRI) consumption in MY 2019/20 and resulting stocks, Post projects MY 2020/21 imports of lemons and orange juice to slump. Grapefruit demand continues to steadily slip.
