Abstract
According to the latest data on apple farming in Japan, the national harvest in 2022 will be 51.6 kilotons, the bearing tree area will be 2,570 hectares, and Aomori will have the highest shipping volume at 38.6 kilotons. These figures show that Japanese apple farming as a whole is experiencing stable growth. However, Aomori’s shipping volume far surpasses other regions, indicating that the region is the center of apple production. In addition, although the area of bearing trees is relatively small nationwide, the harvest volume is large, indicating high production efficiency. The trend so far seems to be one of steady growth in production, driven by technological advances and support from agricultural policies. As demand continues to increase, there will likely be a need to further improve productivity and strengthen quality control.
Orin apple s harvest volume (main data).
Apple production in Japanese agriculture has undergone changes between 1987 and 2022. Of particular note is the peak national harvest recorded in 1997 of 86.9 kilotonnes. Since then, yields have declined and are currently at about 59.4% of their peak. This trend is due to a variety of factors in agriculture. For example, there are a reduction in farmland, labor shortages, and the effects of climate change. Import competition and changing consumer tastes may also be playing a role. On the other hand, there are also cases where productivity is improving due to technological advances and improved varieties. Under these circumstances, Japanese apple farming continues to make efforts to build sustainable production systems and adapt to market needs.

Orin apple harvest volume (by prefecture).
Japan’s apple harvest volume has been compiled by prefecture with the latest data for 2022. According to this data, the largest overall harvest was in Aomori Prefecture, with 42.6 kilotons. Aomori Prefecture boasts the largest harvest in the country, indicating that the region is a major apple producing area. Aomori Prefecture has favorable climate conditions, suitable soil, and the technical capabilities of its farmers, which all lead to high yields. On the other hand, although apples are grown in other regions, they tend not to achieve the same harvest volumes as Aomori Prefecture. This is due to differences in climate conditions and soil from region to region, as well as differences in major agricultural crops. In recent years, apple yields have been increasing due to improvements in varieties and cultivation techniques. Apple farming is continually improving and solving problems, such as expanding demand and responding to the export market.
The maximum is 42.6kt of Aomori, the average is 3.92kt, and the total is 51kt
Orin apple tree area (main data).
The area of apple cultivation in Japanese agriculture has changed between 1987 and 2022. Particularly noteworthy is the maximum cultivated area nationwide, recorded in 1997, of 4.3 thousand hectares. Since then, the cultivated area has decreased and is currently at about 59.8% of its peak. This trend is due to a variety of factors in agriculture. For example, conversion of agricultural land, increasing urbanization, and economic factors may be contributing factors. Changes in consumer demand and market competition also affect the area under cultivation. On the other hand, it is also possible that advances in agricultural technology and improvements in cultivation methods have made efficient production possible. Based on past trends, Japanese apple farming is seeking a sustainable production system while responding flexibly to changes in demand and the market.

Area of fruiting trees in Orin apple (by prefecture).
The area of apple bearing trees in Japanese agriculture has been compiled by prefecture with the latest data for 2022. According to this data, the largest total bearing tree area is in Aomori Prefecture, with 2.05 thousand hectares. Aomori Prefecture has the largest area of fruiting trees in the country, indicating that the region is a major apple producing area. Aomori Prefecture has favorable climate conditions, suitable soil, and the technical capabilities of its farmers, which has led to a large area of fruit-bearing trees. On the other hand, while apples are grown in other regions, they tend not to have as large an area of fruiting trees as Aomori Prefecture. This is due to differences in climate conditions and soil from region to region, as well as differences in major agricultural crops. In addition, in recent years, advances in agricultural technology and improvements in cultivation methods have promoted efficient use of fruit-bearing tree area. Apple farming is continually improving and solving problems, such as expanding demand and responding to the export market.
The maximum is 2.05kha of Aomori, the average is 195ha, and the total is 2.53kha
Orin apple shipping volume.
Apple shipping volumes in Japan’s agricultural sector are compiled using the latest data from 2022. According to this data, the largest overall shipment was from Aomori Prefecture, with 38.6 kilotons. The average shipment is 3.55 kilotons, with the overall total shipment being 46.1 kilotons. Aomori prefecture recorded the largest shipping volume, indicating that the region is a major apple producing area. Aomori Prefecture has favorable climate conditions, suitable soil, and the technical capabilities of its farmers, which leads to high shipping volumes. On the other hand, although apples are grown in other regions, they tend not to achieve the same shipping volumes as Aomori Prefecture. This is due to differences in climate conditions and soil from region to region, as well as differences in major agricultural crops. Additionally, the overall average shipping volume was 3.55 kilotons, indicating that apples in Japan are shipped in a relatively uniform manner. This suggests that efforts to improve cultivation techniques and production management in each region are proving to be successful. With a total shipment volume of 46.1 kilotons, it is possible that Japan is not only meeting both domestic and international demand for apples, but also supplying a surplus to the export market. Apple farming continues to grow and take on new challenges in an ever-changing environment, including changes in demand and market competition.
The maximum is 38.6kt of Aomori, the average is 3.55kt, and the total is 46.1kt
