Quantity of mushrooms.
The quantity of mushrooms in Japan’s agricultural central wholesale vegetable markets fluctuates between 2006 and 2022. Of particular note is that enoki mushrooms alone peaked at 10.5 kilotonnes in December 2009. Volumes have since fallen to 61.2% of their peak. This decrease is likely due to factors affecting demand and production. For example, climate change and changes in agricultural policies may be contributing factors. On the other hand, changes in demand and competition from other vegetables are also factors that need to be taken into consideration. In the future, there is a possibility that mushroom quantities will fluctuate due to changes in demand and advances in production technology.
