미국 신선 레몬 수출 시장 (11월, 2022)

The market prices for imported tropical fruits such as avocados, grapes, bananas, mangoes, lemons, and Australian oranges have experienced significant increases this winter, with avocado prices rising by 27.6% and grapes by 22.5% compared to last year. This surge in prices is attributed to factors such as consumption stagnation, high exchange rates, and high oil prices. The rise in prices is also due to a decrease in imports due to the sluggish economy, creating a vicious cycle. In contrast, the prices of domestic seasonal fruits like persimmons and pears have seen a decline. The high exchange rate used in the import process has contributed to the increase in costs, and the sluggish economy has led to a reduction in imports, making it challenging to stabilize imported fruit prices by the end of the year.
