Mandarin Supply in Japan Drops in January 2023

Mandarins (Satsuma) supply from Japan seems to be low in January 2023. The main factor is the decrease in shipments from Ehime Prefecture, which has a share of about 20% in the distribution volume of Satsuma as a whole. The supply has dropped due to the high levels of snow in December 2022. Snow is uncommon in the region, but it has been present in the past two months and has affected the mandarin supply.
