Earlier Report Observations

Asian pear production demonstrated consistent growth throughout the period from 2018 to 2023, rising from 18.0 million tons to 21.7 million tons. This expansion reflects a broader increase in agricultural output for this fruit across the region. The market size, observable from 2020 onward, followed a similar upward trajectory, reaching 22.0 million tons by 2023.

While imports saw some fluctuation, a sharp decline in export volumes after 2022 meant more production was retained for domestic consumption. This shift in trade balance contributed directly to the growth in the available domestic market volume during those years.
