**Report Highlights:**

The 2005 Japanese \"unshu mikan\" tangerine crop is estimated to be 1.11
million MT, up 4.7% from the previous season. Mild spring weather helped
produce good tangerine crops, although over-supply of early-crop
tangerines led to lower market prices. The amount of 2005/06 grapefruit
shipments from Florida to Japan is estimated at 6 to 7 million cartons,
which is significantly below average for the second consecutive year.
Japanese traders will hold back major sales promotions of Florida
product until the new year when sufficient fruit becomes available.
South Africa experienced record shipments of grapefruit to Japan in the
summer of 2005, creating a huge inventory in the nation\'s cold storage
warehouses. Japanese traders expect higher demand for U.S. oranges in
the early spring after domestic tangerines clear the market. The
weakening Japanese yen is a serious concern for Japanese citrus
importers.

# 2005 Japanese "Mikan" Tangerine Production Up Marginally to 1.11 Million Tons 

![](media/image2.wmf)The 2005 Japanese *unshu mikan* tangerine (mikan)
production is estimated to be 1.11 million metric tons up approximately
4.7 percent from the previous season, according to Japan's fruit growers
association. Relatively mild weather in the spring led to good flowering
and fruiting of the crop, according to growers. This season's mikan crop
has been described as an "on-year" crop, which usually bears more fruit
per tree. Japanese mikans experience "on-year" and "off-year" crops in
alternate years; therefore, after the last season's relatively short
crop, there is expected to be a good crop this season. Usually after the
"on-year" production, trees rest the following season by bearing less
fruit.

Traditionally, Japanese mikan harvesting starts in December, but in
recent years many Japanese farmers have transplanted their groves into
early-crop varieties in order to get a better return for their
investment by marketing earlier in the season for higher prices. Today,
mikan harvesting starts in October with early-crop varieties in the
southern region of Japan. Mikan sales peak in the Christmas and the New
Year holiday season. Currently, approximately 60 percent of Japanese
mikan groves are early-crop varieties and the rest are traditional
regular-crop types.

In May 2005, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries (MAFF) announced the 2005 production guidelines for mikan. The
guidelines set based on discussed with the nation's grower co-ops about
flowering conditions of the groves. According to the guidelines, the
2005 production level is 1.11 million metric tons. Commercial shipments
are expected to be 985,000 tons, of which 860,000 tons are for fresh
consumption and 125,000 tons are for processing. The processing demand
consist of 95,000 tons for juice and 30,000 tons for canning.

After the Japanese "mikan" tangerine harvest season is over in mid
January, the harvesting of late-crop tangerine varieties such as
"iyokan" and "hassaku" start in January and February. Post estimates the
2005 production of "iyokan" and "hassaku" to be 123,200 and 55,500
metric tons, respectively. The 2005 total production of Japanese
tangerines is estimated to be 1.289 million metric tons which include
"unshu mikan", "iyokan" and "hassaku" tangerines.

# Early-Crop "Unshu Mikan" Face Slow Sales

This season's "unshu mikan" tangerine crop has been relatively good in
terms of volume, but in terms of quality, there are many small sized
fruits, according to growers. A summer drought somewhat limited the
growth of the fruit and caused the many small sized fruit. Sales of
mikan in October and November were fairly slow, over-flooding the
wholesale market. In mid November 2005, mikan were trading at the prices
approximately 23 percent lower than the previous season at Tokyo's Ohta
Wholesale Market. An average wholesale price in mid November was \$1.31
(158 yen) per kilogram, while it was \$1.70 (206 yen) per kilogram in
the previous year. In late November, Japan's major grower's coops
voluntarily reduced fruit shipments to the wholesale market and some
fruit was redirected to the processing sectors. Japanese traders are
expecting a better market situation in the Christmas and New Years
holiday season, which usually brings stronger demand.

In late November, Tokyo supermarkets sold early-crop "unshu mikan"
tangerines for \$4.13 (498 yen) per bag of 10 medium sized fruit, \$4.13
(498 yen) per bag of 8 large sized fruit, and \$3.30 (398 yen) per bag
of 12 small sized fruit. They all indicated Brix levels of 11.5 to 12.0
degrees.

\* The exchange rate of 120.54 yen per dollar is based on the Nikkei
News quote on December 2, 2005.

# Reduced Florida Grapefruit Shipments to Japan for Two Consecutive Years

![](media/image3.wmf)In the 2004/05 season, Florida shipped 4,755,972
cartons (80,851 metric tons) of fresh grapefruit to Japan, which is only
40 percent of the level that they normally ship to Japan, due to the
serious crop damage caused by devastating hurricanes. Japanese traders
hoped for a good crop in the 2005/06 season, however hurricane Wilma hit
Florida's citrus region in late October 2005 and caused significant
damage to the groves again. Because of short supplies from Florida for
two consecutive years, Japanese traders show some concerns about
marketing Florida grapefruit.

Florida growers expect to ship 6 to 7 million cartons (102,000 --
119,000 metric tons) of new crop grapefruit to Japan in the 2005/06
season, down from a pre-Wilma forecast of 8 million cartons (136,000
metric tons.)

# Japanese Traders Hold Back on Big Florida Sales Promotions Until the New Year 

In Japan the sale of grapefruit from Florida normally starts in
November. However, there are two major factors causing a delay of
Florida grapefruit sales this season. (1) There will be sufficient
supplies of Japanese "unshu mikan" tangerines in the market until late
January 2006, and (2) there will be a delay in grapefruit harvesting in
Florida in this season.

Japanese growers experienced a bumper crop of "unshu mikan" tangerines
this season. In late November 2005, Japanese tangerines were flooding in
the market, creating lower prices. This situation most likely will
continue until Christmas and the New Year holiday season. December is
Japan's year-end gift-giving season, which significantly stimulates the
market. High quality Florida grapefruits are quite popular among
Japanese consumers in this gift-giving season, but unfortunately there
may not be sufficient Florida product available in time for the
gift-giving season. Some traders air-shipped new crop grapefruit from
Florida in order to fulfill their gift orders, according to Tokyo
traders.

New crop grapefruit from Florida arrived in November and two or three
boat shipments are still scheduled to arrive in Japan in time for
holiday sales. The new crop fruit has a fairly good flavor, according to
Tokyo citrus traders, and the market prices for the new crop are
relatively high in the Japanese market because of Florida's short crop.
In early December 2005, the new crop fruit was trading at Tokyo Ohta
Wholesale Market for \$33.18 - \$35.67 (4,000 -- 4,300 yen) per
17-kilogram carton for sizes 32 or 36 (the size 32 has 32 grapefruit in
a 17-kilogram carton), \$31.52 - \$33.18 (3,800 -- 4,000 yen) for size
40, and \$29.03 - \$31.52 (3,500 -- 3,800 yen) for size 48. These
wholesale prices are the prices that wholesale market jobbers sell to
retailers.

Florida grapefruit shipments are expected to increase after January when
more fruit become mature. Japanese wholesalers and retailers are
expecting to have heavy sales promotions in February through April after
Japanese "unshu mikan" sales completes in January.

# South Africa Marked A Record Grapefruit Exports To Japan 

![](media/image4.wmf)South Africa (including Swaziland) supplied
approximately 6 million cartons or 96,721 metric tons of grapefruit to
Japan in the 2004/05 season. This was approximately 1.55 million cartons
more than the level of the previous season.

Due to the Florida's record shortage in the 2004/05 season, Japanese
grapefruit prices were high, trading at prices 40 to 50 percent higher
than the previous season. This strong price situation encouraged
Japanese citrus traders to purchase South African fruit in order to fill
their orders. Florida grapefruits were all sold out by May 2005 and
South Africa's new crop arrived in Japan in early June. However, Japan's
summer grapefruit market was not as strong as the traders anticipated,
resulted in high inventory levels in the nation's warehouses. In mid
August 2005, the nation's inventory reached a record level of 3.3
million cartons (56,100 metric tons) of grapefruit, which could supply
Japan for more than three months. South African fruit lasted until early
December. This over-supply market situation forced South African
grapefruit to be traded at significantly lower prices. In some cases,
fruit was trading at less than \$8.29 (1,000 yen) per 17-kilogram box at
Tokyo Ohta Wholesale Market. At this price importers could not recover
their import costs, according to Tokyo traders. In early December, many
supermarkets carried grapefruit only from South Africa and retail prices
varied significantly from store to store. One store sold at \$1.06 (128
yen) for a large sized grapefruit and \$3.30 (398 yen) for a bag of 4
medium sized grapefruits. Another store in Tokyo sold them at \$2.47
(298 yen) for a bag of 5 large sized fruit.

# 470,000 Cartons of Israel Sweeties Expected to Sell in 2005 

![](media/image5.wmf)

Israel plans to export approximately 470,000 cartons (6,580 metric tons)
of Israel sweeties to Japan in the 2005/06 season, a significant
reduction from the previous season (approximately 893,000 cartons or
12,500 metric tons). Sweeties are sold in Japan from November through
January; however, this season domestic citrus products are moving fairly
slowly since a great deal of "unshu mikan" products are in the market.
Reportedly, this season's sweeties are of good quality and are trading
fairly smoothly in the market at prices similar of the previous year. In
early December, sweeties were trading at Tokyo Ohta Wholesale Market at
\$20.74 (2,500 yen) per 14-kilogram carton for sizes 23, 27, 32 or 36
and \$19.08 (2,300 yen) for size 41. Tokyo supermarkets sold them for
\$0.82 (99 yen) for a medium sized sweetie in early December.

There were two boat shipments from Israel this season, whereas there
were three shipments in the previous season. The first boat arrived in
Tokyo on November 17 and the second one is expected to arrive in
December.

# 2004 U.S. Oranges Sold Well in Japan

![](media/image6.wmf)U.S. oranges (both navels and Valencias) sold well
in Japan in the 2004 season (October 2004 through September 2005), and
total imports were 88,555 metric tons, up approximately 8 percent from
the previous season. The fruit quality of the 2004 crop was reportedly
excellent, except for some rain damage suffered in February 2005. Market
demand for U.S. oranges was very strong throughout the season, trading
at prices 10 to 20 percent higher than the previous season at the
nation's wholesale markets. Short supplies of Florida grapefruits to the
market in winter 2005 likely encouraged the consumption of U.S. oranges,
according to Tokyo traders. The total import value from the U.S. in the
2004 season was \$85.7 million on a CIF basis.

# Higher Market Demand for New Crop U.S. Oranges Come After February 2006 

According to Tokyo citrus traders, higher market demand for the new crop
of U.S. oranges may probably come after February 2006, since domestic
crops of "unshu mikan" and apples were good this season in terms of
volume as well as quality. Reflecting the current "over-supply"
situations in the market, domestic "unshu mikan" tangerines are trading
at fairly low prices and this market situation is likely continue
throughout the Christmas and New Year holiday season. Market demand for
U.S. oranges normally becomes stronger when the supply of domestic
tangerine products slows down in late January. Japanese traders stress
their prime sales of U.S. orange to be in February through May. They
expect an import volume of U.S. oranges to be a similar level as the
last season.

The new crop 2005 U.S. navel oranges arrived in Japan in late November.
Japanese traders explain that they are not expecting a large volume of
imports before Christmas, mainly because; (1) the Japanese market will
be filled with domestic products until Christmas, and (2) Currently U.S.
offer prices are relatively high. Traders commented that market demand
for U.S. oranges are extremely strong in other Asian markets such as in
Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China. In the Korean market, for example,
traders pay a premium in order to get U.S. oranges. Japanese buyer's
decisions somewhat depend on offer prices from the United States.

In early December, Japanese supermarkets have been selling Australian
Valencia oranges and Chile navels. New crop U.S. navels are largely used
as a gifts at prime prices during Japan's year-end gift giving season.
Australian Valencia oranges were trading at Tokyo Ohta Wholesale Market
at \$29.03 (3,500 yen) for a 15-kilogram box for sizes 56, 72 or 88
(size 56 has 56 oranges in 15-kilogram box), and \$23.22 (2,800 yen) for
size 113. Chile navel oranges were trading at \$24.88 (3,000 yen) for a
17-kilogram box for sizes 56, 72 or 88, and \$20.74 (2,500 yen) for size
113. Tokyo retailers were selling Australian Valencia oranges at
\$0.81 - \$1.06 (98 -- 128 yen) per fruit. Chile navels were selling at
a similar price to Australian Valencia oranges.

# Weakening Japanese Yen Hitting Japanese Citrus Importers 

Needless to say, the weakening yen is not good for anyone in the import
business. Many Japanese citrus importers are facing difficulties as a
result of the current exchange rate. On December 2, 2005 Nikkei News
quoted that the exchange rate was 120.54 yen to one U.S. dollar, while
the rate was quoted as 104.36 yen per dollar on December 9, 2004. This
means that Japanese importers now have to pay an additional 16-yen per
dollar or pay an additional 15 percent to purchase U.S. products this
season compared to the previous season. This weakening yen situation
creates a significant cost burden for Japanese traders.

# Japanese Imports of Fresh Lemons Declined in 2004

![](media/image7.wmf)Japan imported 74,148 metric tons of fresh lemons
in the 2004 season (October 2004 through September 2005), a 12.8 percent
decline from the previous season. The United States, Chile and South
Africa are the major suppliers of fresh lemons to Japan. Southern
hemisphere countries such as Chile and South Africa supply their
products to Japan largely in the summer season while the U.S. supplies
Japan all year round. The United States supplied 51,911 metric tons of
lemons to Japan in 2004, down approximately 12.8 percent from the
previous season. Supplies from Chile and South Africa also declined in
2004. Japanese consume a great deal of fresh lemons in the hot summer so
that Japan's summer weather significantly affects national consumption
of lemons. Japan experienced a fairly mild summer in 2004.

Although Japan's lemon imports declined in 2004, the lemon market stayed
fairly stable, maintaining the right amount of stocks in the nation's
cold warehouses. In December 2005, the Japanese industry was holding
approximately 121,000 cartons (2,057 metric tons) of fresh lemons in
their cold warehouses, which could fill approximately 10 days of
nation's lemon consumption.

In early December 2005, new crop U.S. lemons (from Arizona) were trading
at Tokyo Ohta Wholesale Market at \$33.18 (4,000 yen) for a 17-kilogram
box for size 95 (95 lemons in a 17-kilogram box), \$29.03 (3,500 yen)
for size 115, \$27.37 (3,300 yen) for size 140, and \$24.88 (3,000 yen)
for size 165. In the same week, Tokyo supermarket sold Arizona lemons
for \$0.81 (98 yen) per fruit or \$1.64 (198 yen) for a bag of three
medium sized lemons. Meanwhile, domestic lemons were sold for \$2.05
(248 yen) for a bag of two.

# Japanese Citrus Juice Imports Up Significantly in 2004 

![](media/image8.wmf)

Japan imported 101,320 metric tons of orange juice (based on 65 Brix
concentrate) in the 2004 season (October 2004 through September 2005),
up approximately 20.6 percent from the previous season. Brazil supplied
the largest volume to Japan, accounting for approximately 87 percent of
the nation's imports. The United States supplied 5.4 percent. The total
import value was \$158.65 million on a CIF basis. Reportedly, Brazil
experienced a good orange crop in 2004 and Brazil's offer prices for
orange juice were so attractive that Japanese traders increased their
purchase volumes. The average CIF price for Brazilian FCOJ (frozen
concentrated orange juice) was \$1.41 per liter in the 2004 season, down
approximately 13 percent from the previous season. The average CIF price
for U.S. FCOJ was \$1.77 per litter.

Japan's 100% pure orange juice market was somewhat stable in the past a
few years. Kirin's Tropicana, Minute Maid from Coca Cola, JA brand from
Japan Agriculture Coop, Dole and Sunkist are commonly sold brand items
in Japan's retail stores. Japanese consumer preference has shifted
toward healthier low-sugar products such as mineral water, Japanese
green tea, Chinese tea, and other tea products. For convenience, many
Japanese consumers purchase orange juice or orange drink products at
local convenience stores so that the size of a juice package has shifted
to smaller sizes such as 250 or 500 milliliter from the larger one-liter
pack size. They are packed in paper packs, cans or PET (plastic)
bottles.

![](media/image9.wmf)Demand for grapefruit juice is strong in Japan's
"chuhai" market. Chuhai is a liquor drink made from fruit juice mixed
with Japanese vodka. Japanese beer brewers produce "chuhai" in cans
(just like beer cans) and sell them at liquor stores, convenience stores
and supermarkets. Grapefruit is the best selling flavor. Japan imported
37,879 metric tons of grapefruit juice (based on 45 Brix concentrate) in
the 2004 season (October 2004 through September 2005), up approximately
17.9 percent from the previous season. The total import value was
\$76.90 million on a CIF basis. The United States was the largest
supplier of grapefruit juice to Japan until the hurricanes hit Florida
in 2004. The U.S. supplied 14,699 metric tons in 2004, valued at \$27.72
million (CIF). Israel filled the Japanese demand for grapefruit juice
and almost doubled the amount of their shipments to Japan in 2004.
Israel supplied 15,947 metric tons, valued at \$29.66 million (CIF).

# Import Duties on Citrus Products

All duties are charged on a CIF basis. These duties are not subject to
further reductions outside the next round of WTO negotiations. The
applicable import duties for citrus products are as follows:
