Abstract: Until the early 1990s fruit consumption and production has remarkably grown due to a rapid increase in national income. However, it shows a different feature from the mid of 1990s; the demand for fruits varies a little since it reaches a plateau in 1995, while the production continuously increases during the same period. This causes to a decline of fruit price and income of fruit growers. This study aims to review the overall trend of a fruit industry of Korea in 1990s and presents forecast about the production of fruit. It examines the trend of fruit production and consumption, including its prices. It also shows the mid-term forecasts by each product - apples, pears, grapes, mandarin oranges, and sweet persimmons.
