Fields of rice in Japan

Japanese agriculture

In agricultural crop statistical surveys, data on fields is collected such as cultivated area, area by crop, harvest volume, production volume, yield (harvest volume per 10 ares), cultivated land area, and land use status. The main crops include rice, wheat, soybeans, and vegetables, and the growth conditions and harvest times of each are also recorded. Because climatic conditions and soil characteristics differ from region to region, the production conditions of field crops also vary greatly. Another characteristic of farmland is that its use changes in response to changes in agricultural policies and market demand. Emphasis is placed on ensuring sustainable land use and food production, and agricultural land management and conservation are also covered in the study.
