Abstract

We will provide an overview of cut flowers, especially roses, in Japanese agriculture based on data from 2022. Rose shipments across Japan reached a maximum of 189 million bottles in 2022. The cultivated area in the same year was 269 hectares, the largest in the country. This data shows that rose production is increasing year by year. This suggests that demand for roses is increasing both in Japan and overseas. In addition, the area under cultivation is also expanding, which suggests that production systems are being improved to meet producers’ demand. Furthermore, the data indicates that roses are an important cut flower crop in Japanese agriculture. Rose cultivation also plays an important role in the local economy, providing a significant source of income for growers and related industries. Going forward, it is expected that production volumes and cultivated areas will continue to expand in response to increasing demand.

Bulk shipment volume (main data).

We examine data on Japan’s rose shipments from 1976 to 2022. At its peak in 1997, 488 million bottles were shipped nationwide, which is equivalent to approximately 38.7% of current shipments. It is clear from this data that bulk shipments have declined from their peak. The decline is likely due to competition from imported cut flowers and changes in domestic demand. Other factors that may be contributing to this include the increasing popularity of other cut flowers and the loss of agricultural land due to urbanization. On the other hand, demand for roses remains high, and growers are working hard to meet the demand. Furthermore, as demand for roses changes both domestically and internationally, growers and related industries are likely to be seeking new strategies to adapt to market changes. Under these circumstances, it is hoped that Japan’s rose industry will continue to develop in the future by striking a balance between sustainable production and demand.

The maximum is 488Mpiece[1997] of Japan, and the current value is about 38.7%

Bulk shipping volume (by prefecture).

We will examine data by prefecture in 2022 on the volume of cut flower shipments in Japanese agriculture. The largest shipment was in Aichi Prefecture, recording 35.6 million bottles, the highest volume overall. This data shows that Aichi Prefecture is a center for cut flower production. Aichi Prefecture may have an environment suitable for growing cut flowers due to its warm climate and advances in agricultural technology. On the other hand, other prefectures are also actively engaged in cut flower production, indicating that cut flower production is thriving nationwide. This suggests that there is a high demand for cut flowers both in Japan and overseas. In addition, differences in shipping volumes between prefectures suggest that differences in regional climate and land use may be affecting production volumes. Cut flower production is an important contributor to the local economy, and growers and associated industries are working hard to meet demand. Going forward, despite changes in demand and regional competition, it is expected that Japan’s cut flower industry will continue to develop with the aim of achieving sustainable growth.

The maximum is 35.6Mpiece of Aichi, the average is 7.91Mpiece, and the total is 158Mpiece

Area planted with roses (main data).

We examine data on the area of rose cultivation in Japanese agriculture from 1976 to 2022. At its peak in 1997, the area cultivated with roses nationwide reached 617 hectares, but the current cultivated area has declined to just 43.6% of the peak. Possible reasons for this decline include competition from imported cut flowers, changes in agricultural land use, and increasing production costs. The increasing popularity of other cut flowers and the loss of agricultural land due to urbanization may also be contributing factors. On the other hand, demand for roses remains high, and growers are working hard to meet the demand. Producers and related industries are working to develop new varieties and improve production techniques to adapt to changes in demand. Under these circumstances, it is hoped that rose cultivation in Japan will continue to develop in the future while striking a balance between sustainable production and demand.

The maximum is 617ha[1997] of Japan, and the current value is about 43.6%

Area cultivated with roses (by prefecture).

We will examine data by prefecture in 2022 on the area of land used to grow cut flowers in Japanese agriculture. The largest cultivated area was recorded in Aichi Prefecture at 45.3 hectares, which is also the largest area overall. This data suggests that Aichi Prefecture is a center for cut flower cultivation. Aichi Prefecture has the potential to have an environment suitable for growing cut flowers, taking advantage of its warm climate and advanced agricultural techniques. On the other hand, other prefectures are also working on cultivating cut flowers, and it is clear that cut flower cultivation is spreading nationwide. Cut flower cultivation is an important contributor to the local economy and growers are working hard to meet demand. Due to differences in climate and land use from region to region, the cultivated area varies from prefecture to prefecture. However, to keep up with rising demand and changing markets, farmers are adopting more efficient cultivation methods and introducing new varieties. It is expected that cut flower cultivation will continue to develop in the future as demand increases and technology advances.
