Abstract
Looking at data on leafy vegetables in Japanese agriculture, particularly summer/autumn cabbage, we can see that the harvest volume in 2022 will be the highest nationwide at 499kt. In the same year, the maximum cultivated area was 10.2kha, and the shipping volume was 222kt in Gunma Prefecture. From these figures, it can be inferred that summer/autumn cabbage production is stable and is being actively cultivated in response to demand. Gunma Prefecture in particular has a large shipping volume and is considered one of the production centers in the region. Past trends suggest that Japanese farmers are able to respond sensitively to fluctuations in demand and are engaged in efficient production.
Summer and autumn cabbage harvest yields (main data).
Looking at data from 1973 to 2022, the summer/autumn cabbage harvest in Japanese agriculture hit a record high of 552kt nationwide in 1992. Since then, it is now at 90.5% of its peak level. These figures indicate that summer/autumn cabbage harvest volumes have declined slightly from their peak, but still show that production remains stable. Possible factors include changes in demand and technological advances in agriculture. Also, although it is decreasing, the level of 90.5% is still high, indicating that summer and autumn cabbage is an important agricultural product. A notable feature up until now has been that Japanese farmers have adjusted production volumes according to demand and responded to changes in the market.
The maximum is 552kt[1992] of Japan, and the current value is about 90.5%
Summer and autumn cabbage harvest volume (by prefecture).
The latest data on leafy vegetable harvests in Japanese agriculture shows that the largest national harvest in 2022 will be in Gunma Prefecture, at 260kt. This is the highest value compared to historical data, and the current value is a new record high. This trend shows that leafy vegetable production is particularly active in Gunma Prefecture, with production volumes increasing. And while production may be increasing in other regions as well, it suggests that Gunma Prefecture accounts for the majority of the total harvest. A notable feature so far has been that Japanese farmers have expanded production of leafy vegetables in response to growing demand. Additionally, each region has its own characteristics, with certain areas, such as Gunma Prefecture, accounting for the majority of production.
The maximum is 260kt of Gunma, the average is 10.6kt, and the total is 499kt
Area planted with summer and autumn cabbage (main data).
Looking at data from 1973 to 2022, the area of land planted with summer/autumn cabbage in Japanese agriculture reached a peak of 14.1 kha nationwide in 1992. However, the current cultivated area has decreased to 72.3% compared to its peak. Due to this trend, the area planted with summer/autumn cabbage has been declining since its peak, but it is still cultivated on a large scale. Possible reasons for this decline include a shift in agricultural land use to other crops and changes in demand, as well as increased efficiency through technological innovation in agriculture. In addition, in some areas, summer/autumn cabbage cultivation is considered an important industry, and the decrease in cultivated area may be affecting the local economy. One characteristic of this effort so far has been the attitude of Japanese farmers, who respond flexibly to changes in demand and the market and aim for efficient agricultural production.
The maximum is 14.1kha[1992] of Japan, and the current value is about 72.3%
Area cultivated for summer and autumn cabbage (by prefecture).
According to the latest data on the area planted to leafy vegetables in Japanese agriculture, the largest area planted nationwide in 2022 is in Gunma Prefecture, at 3.73 kha. This figure breaks all previous records and is currently the highest. This suggests that leafy vegetable production is particularly active in Gunma Prefecture. Gunma Prefecture is likely to be a major producer of leafy stem vegetables, with production volumes likely to be higher than in other regions. This trend indicates that in certain regions, such as Gunma Prefecture, leafy vegetable production has become an important part of the local economy. In addition, with Japan’s total cultivated area at an all-time high, it is possible that demand for leafy vegetables is on the rise. A notable feature so far has been that farmers have adjusted their production of leafy vegetables according to local characteristics and changes in demand.
The maximum is 3.73kha of Gunma, the average is 216ha, and the total is 10.2kha
Summer and autumn cabbage shipping volume.
According to 2022 data on summer/autumn cabbage shipments in Japanese agriculture, the largest overall was Gunma Prefecture with 222kt, with an average shipment volume of 9.33kt and a total shipment volume of 439kt. These figures show that Gunma Prefecture is a major producer of summer and autumn cabbage, with shipping volumes significantly higher than other regions. In addition, the average shipping volume was 9.33kt, indicating that summer and autumn cabbage production is thriving throughout Japan. One notable feature so far has been that farmers have been producing cabbage efficiently to meet the demand for summer and autumn cabbage. It also shows that certain regions, such as Gunma Prefecture, are positioned as centers for summer/autumn cabbage production and play an important role in the local economy.
The maximum is 222kt of Gunma, the average is 9.33kt, and the total is 439kt
