Abstract
In Japan’s agricultural industry, the prices of livestock products, flowers, and industrial crops are influenced by several factors. In the case of livestock products, the prices of adult beef cattle and breeding cattle have been rising, reaching a maximum of 695,000 yen in December 2022. This is due to factors such as changes in the balance between supply and demand and rising feed costs. On the other hand, the prices of flowers and industrial crops are highly dependent on fluctuations in demand and weather conditions. In particular, prices of seasonal flowers and high-value added industrial crops rise when demand is high and fall when demand falls. A common pattern for agricultural products in general is that quality improves through the efforts of producers and technological innovation, and this tends to be reflected in prices. However, the influence of domestic and international market conditions and government agricultural policies cannot be ignored. Ultimately, the prices of livestock products, flowers, and industrial crops are constantly fluctuating due to complex economic and social conditions, making it difficult to make stable predictions.
General agricultural products (livestock products)
Prices of livestock products in Japanese agriculture are fluctuating from 2020 to 2022. In March 2022, the price of adult livestock (such as adult beef cattle and breeding female Japanese cattle) reached a record high of 982,000 yen. However, subsequent data shows that prices have fallen, and are now at 70.8% of their peak. Several factors are influencing this price fluctuation. These include changes in supply and demand, rising feed costs, domestic and international economic conditions, and the impact of government agricultural policies. Additionally, unforeseen circumstances such as natural disasters or the spread of infectious diseases may also affect prices. This combination of factors makes livestock prices constantly fluctuating and difficult to predict for producers and market participants.

General agricultural products (flowers)
Prices of flowers in Japanese agriculture are fluctuating from 2020 to 2022. In September 2021, the price of cut flowers (such as lilies) reached a record high of 26,800 yen. However, subsequent data shows that prices have fallen, and are now at 83.5% of their peak. A variety of factors influence this price fluctuation. For example, fluctuations in demand, seasonal factors, import competition, and weather conditions. In particular, prices of seasonal flowers tend to rise during seasons when demand is high and fall when demand falls. Prices are also affected by the influx of imports and changes in domestic and international market conditions. Producers need to take these factors into account when formulating effective production and sales strategies. As a result, flower prices remain constantly fluctuating and difficult to predict for producers and consumers.

General agricultural products (industrial crops)
Prices of industrial crops in Japanese agriculture are based on data as of January 2020. At this point, the price of sugarcane was 23,200 yen per ton, with an average price of 10,600 yen, for an overall total of 33,700 yen. The prices of industrial agricultural products are affected by the balance between supply and demand, climatic conditions of the producing area, and fluctuations in production volume. Industrial crops such as sugarcane enjoy stable demand as they are widely used as sweeteners and raw materials for alcoholic beverages. However, prices may fluctuate depending on the climatic conditions of the producing area and fluctuations in harvest yields. Import competition and domestic and international market conditions also affect prices. The price of industrial agricultural products is an important factor for producers and consumers, and price fluctuations are influenced by a variety of factors.
The maximum is the latest one, 23.2kyen of Sugar cane (No brand 1t)
