Abstract
Gerberas, one of the cut flowers used in Japanese agriculture, are expected to have a maximum shipment volume of 122 million plants nationwide in 2022, and will be cultivated on the largest area of 75 hectares nationwide. These data indicate that gerberas are one of the important cut flowers in Japan. It also suggests that there is high demand for gerberas. Past trends suggest that production is in line with demand. In particular, it is noteworthy that the shipping volume of gerberas has remained stable at a high level. Such stable demand and production suggests that gerberas continue to have a certain demand in the market, and are likely to provide a stable source of income for producers.
Gerbera shipping volume (main data).
Analyzing data from 1990 to 2022, Japan’s gerbera shipments have fluctuated. It peaked at 187 million bottles in 2003 and has since declined, currently standing at just 65% of its peak. This trend is likely due to changes in demand and production. For example, this could be due to changes in market demand or competition from the increasing popularity of other flowers. Another factor is thought to be improvements in producers’ techniques and cultivation methods, which have made production more efficient. Additionally, changes in environmental and climatic conditions may also play a role. Generally speaking, although gerbera shipping volumes fluctuate, they remain in balance with supply and demand.
The maximum is 187Mpiece[2003] of Japan, and the current value is about 65%
Gerbera shipping volume (by prefecture).
The latest data on cut flower shipments in Japan’s agriculture shows that Shizuoka has the largest overall shipments by prefecture in 2022. Shizuoka’s shipments were 51.7 million bottles, the highest ever recorded. This data suggests that Shizuoka is one of the centers of cut flower production in Japan. Shizuoka’s geographical conditions and advances in agricultural technology may contribute to cut flower production in the region. On the other hand, shipping volumes from other prefectures are also important, suggesting that many cut flowers are produced in areas other than Shizuoka. This data shows that cut flower production is thriving throughout Japan, with each region having its own characteristics and specialties. It is also possible that production adjustments and improvements in logistics are being made between prefectures to meet demand. Generally speaking, cut flower production in Japan is diverse and vibrant, with each region developing production activities that make the most of its own unique characteristics.
The maximum is 51.7Mpiece of Shizuoka, the average is 14.9Mpiece, and the total is 104Mpiece
Gerbera cultivation area (main data).
Looking at data from 1990 to 2022 on the area of gerbera cultivation in Japanese agriculture, the area peaked at 113 hectares nationwide in 1999, and has since declined, currently standing at 66.4% of its peak. This trend can be attributed to changes in demand and market conditions. For example, this could be due to increased demand for other cut flowers or competition from imports. Another factor may be that technological innovation and improved production efficiency in gerbera cultivation have made it possible to meet demand on a smaller area of land. Additionally, changes in environmental and climatic conditions may also play a role. Generally speaking, the area planted with gerbera fluctuates in response to changes in demand and the market, and producers respond flexibly to market trends.
The maximum is 113ha[1999] of Japan, and the current value is about 66.4%
Gerbera cultivation area (by prefecture).
The latest data on the area of land used to grow cut flowers in Japanese agriculture shows that Shizuoka has the largest area overall when looking at the area used to grow cut flowers by prefecture in 2022. The area cultivated with cut flowers in Shizuoka is 23.6 hectares, the highest ever recorded. This data suggests that Shizuoka is one of the centers of cut flower cultivation in Japan. Shizuoka’s geographical conditions and advances in agricultural technology are likely contributing to the region’s cut flower production. On the other hand, the cultivated area in other prefectures is also important, suggesting that many cut flowers are cultivated in areas other than Shizuoka. This data shows that cut flower production is thriving throughout Japan, with each region having its own characteristics and specialties. Additionally, production adjustments and improvements to logistics may be taking place between prefectures to meet demand. Generally speaking, cut flower production in Japan is diverse and vibrant, with each region developing production activities that make the most of its unique characteristics.
The maximum is 23.6ha of Shizuoka, the average is 4.25ha, and the total is 72.2ha
