This is common when there is too much nitrogen in the soil. It can also happen naturally, as they produce way more fruit than they can support. They will drop most of this pretty early on.

If it continues, and you never get a single fruit, then I would apply fertilizers high in phosphorous and potassium, but very low or no nitrogen. This will help it to retain fruit, and cut out some of the nitrogen.
