Fruit Farming in Fukuoka
Fukuoka ranks among the top fruit-producing prefectures in Japan. In terms of yield and production, it holds second place for strawberries and kiwis, and third for persimmons nationwide. The fruit production here is primarily concentrated in the southern Chikugo area, where the gently sloping hills, superior water drainage, and ample sun exposure make cities like Ukiha, Asakura, and Kurume ideal for persimmon cultivation.
Fukuoka has the distinction of being the first Japanese prefecture to grow the slightly larger, sweeter Kyoho grape. These grapes are primarily cultivated in Kurume, Tanushimaru, Ukiha, and Yame. The prefecture is also known for its innovative use of ethylene gas ripening technology to sweeten kiwis before shipping, ensuring they’re delicious and ready for export. Tachibana-machi in Fukuoka is one of the leading producers of these sweetened kiwis.
The fruit farmers of Fukuoka are resilient and innovative, continually adapting to challenging conditions and experimenting with novel farming techniques and superior fruit breeds. The practice of opening orchards to the public for fruit-picking dates back to the 1950s in Fukuoka and remains a popular event for families and individuals today. As the warmth of summer gradually yields to the cool breezes of autumn, consider a visit to one of Fukuoka’s abundant fruit farms.
