Abstract
As of 2022, the nationwide shipment volume and cultivated area of lisianthus, one of the cut flowers used in Japanese agriculture, are 84.5 million plants and 392 hectares, respectively. These figures show that lisianthus is one of the important cut flowers in Japan. There is a tendency for shipments to increase, which is thought to be due to increased demand and improvements in production technology. In addition, the area under cultivation is relatively small, so efficient cultivation techniques and management methods will be required from the standpoint of production efficiency. Lisianthus is widely loved for the beautiful color and shape of its flowers, and demand is increasing both at home and abroad. As demand is expected to continue to grow, it is important for producers to focus on improving quality and establishing sustainable production systems.
Lisianthus shipping volume (main data).
Between 1990 and 2022, the shipment volume of lisianthus, one of the cut flowers in Japanese agriculture, fluctuated, reaching a peak of 131 million in 1998 nationwide. However, there has since been a downward trend, with shipments in 2022 reaching 64.7% of the peak. There are several possible reasons behind this decline. One is increased competition from an increase in imports and the growing popularity of other cut flowers. Changes in the production environment, such as regional shifts in agricultural production and a reduction in farmland due to urbanization, may also be contributing factors. Additionally, changing consumer preferences and economic factors should also be taken into account. Under these circumstances, lisianthus producers need to be sensitive to changes in demand and work to improve efficient production techniques and market strategies.
The maximum is 131Mpiece[1998] of Japan, and the current value is about 64.7%
Lisianthus shipping volume (by prefecture).
The volume of cut flowers shipped in Japan was calculated by prefecture as of 2022, with Nagano Prefecture recording the highest volume overall. This data shows that Nagano Prefecture stands out in cut flower production. One reason for this is that Nagano Prefecture is blessed with favorable geographical conditions and a favorable climate, providing an environment suitable for growing cut flowers. Nagano Prefecture has also focused on developing agricultural technology and improving production systems, which may have led to an increase in shipping volumes. Cut flowers are produced in other regions, but to achieve the scale and growth rates seen in Nagano, local conditions and strategies must be considered. In the future, it is expected that each region will establish its role as a production base for cut flowers, taking advantage of their unique characteristics, and be able to meet nationwide demand.
The maximum is 13.2Mpiece of Nagano, the average is 3.73Mpiece, and the total is 70.9Mpiece
Area planted with lisianthus (main data).
The area planted with lisianthus, a cut flower, in Japanese agriculture has fluctuated between 1990 and 2022. The area of land under cultivation nationwide peaked in 2002 and has been on a downward trend since then. As of 2022, the area under cultivation will be 83.8% of its peak. There are several possible factors behind this trend. One is the impact of urbanization of farmland and the regional shift of agricultural production. Also contributing factors may be changes in demand and competition from the growing popularity of other cut flower species. Additionally, economic factors such as rising production costs and labor shortages should also be taken into consideration. A combination of these factors is likely to be contributing to the decline in the area planted to lisianthus. Under these circumstances, producers are required to respond sensitively to changes in demand and seek out efficient production techniques and sustainable management strategies.
The maximum is 468ha[2002] of Japan, and the current value is about 83.8%
Area cultivated with lisianthus (by prefecture).
Looking at the data for the area of cut flowers cultivated in Japan in 2022, the largest overall is Kumamoto Prefecture at 47.9 hectares, which is the current highest value. This data shows that Kumamoto Prefecture stands out in cut flower production. One reason for this is that Kumamoto Prefecture is blessed with favorable geographical conditions and a favorable climate, providing an environment suitable for growing cut flowers. In addition, farmers in Kumamoto Prefecture have advanced skills and experience, and have achieved excellent results in cut flower production. However, other regions suggest that the area planted is relatively small. This may be due to differences in climate and soil conditions from region to region, as well as competition between production areas. In the future, it is expected that each region will develop its role as a cut flower production base, making use of its unique characteristics, and be able to meet nationwide demand.
The maximum is 47.9ha of Kumamoto, the average is 8.52ha, and the total is 392ha
