Abstract
Looking at vegetable trends in Japanese agriculture, data from December 2022 shows that cucumbers are attracting the most attention. The quantity of cucumbers reached 15.5 kilotons, with a value of 7.96 million yen. On the other hand, the most expensive item is Shishito pepper, at 2,120 yen per kilogram. This may be affecting the balance between supply and demand. Also, high demand for cucumbers may encourage growers to try to increase production. Various factors affect the vegetable market, including changes in demand and the impact of climatic conditions. While rising prices are a positive trend for producers, they could come at a cost to consumers. It will be necessary to continue to pay close attention to the balance between supply and demand and price trends.
