Earlier Report Observations

The fresh sour cherries market in Northern America showed pronounced volatility between 2018 and 2023. Starting at 136 thousand tonnes in 2018, market volume contracted to 121 thousand tonnes in 2019 and then fell sharply to 66 thousand tonnes in 2020, a decline of more than 50% from the initial level.

A recovery began in 2021, lifting the market to 81 thousand tonnes, and growth accelerated in 2022 to a peak of 113 thousand tonnes. However, this expansion reversed in 2023, with volume dropping to 96 thousand tonnes.

Domestic production movements mirrored these swings closely, while import and export activity remained negligible throughout the period, indicating that internal supply conditions were the primary determinant of market size.
