The data and characteristics of Japanese agricultural production include, first of all, the emphasis on producing high-quality, safe food for the domestic market. Due to the high production costs and the fact that most farms are small, prices are generally set high. Competition from imported agricultural products and poor weather also affect prices. Government subsidies and price support policies also affect the prices of agricultural production, and efforts are underway to increase added value through regional specialties and organic farming.
