Number of households raising dairy cows and total number of cows in Japan

Japanese agriculture

Livestock statistics on dairy cattle in Japan include data on the number of cattle kept, distribution by region, milk yield, milk quality, number of farms, and scale of operations. The main dairy cattle breed is Holstein, with Hokkaido being the main dairy producing area in Japan. Raw milk production is on the decline nationwide, with aging farmers and a lack of successors posing challenges. Statistical data is published regularly by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, allowing us to understand the domestic production and supply situation of dairy products.
