FAQ pour les acheteurs OEM

Q. Where is yuzu grown commercially in Japan and what production share dominates?

Kōchi Prefecture is Japan's leading yuzu producer, accounting for around 50% of national production. Combined with the other two Shikoku prefectures (Tokushima ~13%, Ehime ~11%), Shikoku as a whole accounts for roughly 70% of the Japanese harvest. Secondary producing regions include Ōita and Miyazaki on Kyushu. Peak harvest runs November–February.

Q. What is the typical MOQ and lead time for yuzu extract and peel oil?

Supplier-disclosed industry ranges are 5–20 kg for fruit extract and 5–20 L for peel essential oil, with 4–10 week lead times. Peel oil supply is concentrated around the November–February harvest; for material in the off-season, processors work from stored frozen peel or from secondary processors. Specify whether oil should be cold-pressed (expression) or steam-distilled — the two have different aroma profiles and price points.

Q. Are organic yuzu and single-region origin options available?

Organic JAS-certified yuzu is produced in limited volume in Kōchi and Tokushima specialty groves, with chain-of-custody documentation through the extract or oil processor. Single-region origin (e.g., Umaji village in Kōchi) is a recognized branding lever and can be supported with origin documentation at premium pricing. Organic and origin-certified material typically commands a 30–80% premium over conventional aggregated material.
