Fruits

Abstract

The United States will produce the largest amount of cranberries in 2022, with 366kt. Based on past trends, the United States is the world’s center of cranberry production, and its production volume has remained stable and high. Cranberry production in the United States is mainly carried out in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Oregon, which are the center of cranberry supply in the world. Countries such as Canada and Chile also have a certain share of cranberry production. Cranberries are popular with consumers, and demand is particularly high in North America and Europe. In addition, demand is expected to continue to increase due to the spread of health benefits and use in cooking. However, the impact of climate change and advances in agricultural technology are also issues that must be considered.

Cranberry production (worldwide)

Cranberry production has undergone significant changes between 1961 and 2022. Of particular note is the peak U.S. production of 437kt recorded in 2016, the highest ever. However, production has declined in the following years, with current levels at 83.7% of the peak. This trend suggests a shift in U.S. influence in cranberry production. Meanwhile, other countries also play important roles in cranberry production, and global supplies are diversifying. In addition, demand for cranberries has been on the rise in recent years, especially with health-conscious consumers and expanding use in cooking. This offers a positive outlook for cranberry producers. However, factors such as climate change and environmental regulations on agriculture may affect future cranberry production. Under these circumstances, the cranberry industry needs to take measures that emphasize sustainability and efficiency.
