What happened
Seasonal demand related to the Mid-Autumn Festival has caused price increases across various produce markets. For example, large New Zealand Queen apples saw prices rise by approximately ¥10–20 (US$1.40–2.80) per box due to limited supply. South African sweet oranges have increased from just over ¥100 (US$14.00) to the current range of ¥170–180 (US$23.80–25.20).

Why it matters
The price increases reflect the heightened consumer demand for seasonal fruit gift boxes. While sales of Thai pomelos have been strong, U.S. plums are facing low demand and quality concerns this season.
