Earlier Report Observations

The cherry market in Cyprus experienced notable shifts between 2018 and 2023. Market volume expanded sharply to 1,305 t in 2019, largely due to a surge in imports, before entering a period of gradual contraction that brought it back to 924 t by 2023. This overall decline occurred alongside a steady rise in domestic production, which grew from 342 t to 439 t over the six-year period, indicating that falling import levels were the key factor reducing the total market size.

In 2023, the local production increase was supported by investments in state-of-the-art packing capacity and the adoption of AI sorting technology, which enhanced processing efficiency. Concurrently, growing health consciousness and a consumer shift toward organic, antioxidant-rich cherries helped maintain demand for fresh produce, contributing to a more resilient domestic sector even as the total market volume continued to shrink.
