Earlier Report Observations

The fresh cherry market in Oceania experienced notable volatility between 2018 and 2023. Volume declined from 13,964 tonnes in 2018 to 11,744 tonnes in 2020, before surging to 19,290 tonnes in 2021. This peak was followed by a subsequent contraction to 12,516 tonnes by 2023.

Amid the market contraction in 2020, Cherry Hill Orchards in Australia adopted Laava Smart Fingerprints technology for cherry packaging to enhance brand protection and combat counterfeiting, a move aimed at strengthening consumer trust during a period of declining overall volume.

By 2024, several developments began shaping the market landscape, including government subsidies in Australia and New Zealand to expand cultivated area, the growth of e-commerce platforms improving access to lower-tier cities, and health-oriented marketing campaigns boosting consumer awareness of cherries as a superfood. The launch of Tasmanian cherries by major distributor Melissa's Produce and a consumer shift toward organic and sustainably grown fruit further characterized the evolving market context.
