Agricultural income from livestock farming in Japan varies depending on the species and region. The major livestock products include beef, pork, chicken, and dairy products, each with different profitability and market trends. For example, Wagyu beef is highly profitable because it is traded at a high price, but the costs of raising it are also high. On the other hand, pork and chicken can be mass-produced and relatively stable profits can be expected. In some regions, products are being branded as local specialties, creating high added value. The livestock industry is highly dependent on imports and feed costs, and is sensitive to fluctuations in the business environment.
