Taiwan: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TW2021-0051

MY 2020/2021 estimates show Taiwan’s apple consumption contracting to 130,378 MT on reduced supply of imports. For MY 2021/2022, apple imports are forecast to decline another 9,000 MT to 120,000 MT. Taiwan’s apple demand remains strong. The combination of delayed shipments, due to the Covid pandemic, and lower yields in the United States and Chile, due to labor shortages also stemming from Covid, have tightened import supplies. The United States remains the largest supplier of apples by volume, while Japan dominates by value. Demand for organic apples continues to grow and the United States dominates this share of the market.
