Abstract
Based on the latest data from December 2022, several characteristics can be seen in central wholesale markets for agricultural vegetables in Japan. The quantity of onions was the highest at 58.7 kilotons, and the price was also high at 6.21 million yen. On the other hand, in terms of price, garlic is attracting attention, showing the highest price at 800 yen per kilogram. This suggests that earthen products such as onions and garlic are being produced and supplied according to demand, and that prices are being maintained at high levels. Furthermore, these vegetables occupy an important position in Japanese food culture, and demand for them appears to be stable. Going forward, efficient agricultural policies and production management will be required, while keeping a close eye on changes in demand and fluctuations in production volume.
Quantity of earthenware.
Looking at data from 2006 to 2022 in central wholesale markets for agricultural vegetables in Japan, the volume of earthenware products tends to peak at certain times. For example, the quantity of onions peaked at 94.5 kilotons in April 2013, but has since declined and is currently at 62.1% of its peak. This trend suggests that there are cycles in which production of certain vegetables peaks at certain times and then declines. This could be due to seasonal effects, fluctuations in production capacity, and changes in demand. Other factors such as agricultural policies and climate change may also be at play. In the future, fluctuations in vegetable production volumes are likely to be affected by various factors in line with changes in demand and advances in production technology.

The value of earthen goods.
Looking at the latest data from December 2022 at central wholesale markets for agricultural vegetables in Japan, the value (total market price) is calculated by prefecture, with the highest overall being onions at 11.5 million yen. This is the highest level ever recorded, suggesting rising demand and prices for onions in the market. Additionally, prefecture-specific data reflects variations in vegetable prices and demand in each region. This price increase could be due to factors such as increased demand, reduced production, or a shortage of supply. Price fluctuations of agricultural products are influenced by many factors, including the season, weather, and domestic and international market trends. Going forward, it will be necessary to continue to review agricultural policies and production systems while responding sensitively to changes in the balance between supply and demand and the market environment.

Prices of earthen goods.
Looking at data from 2006 to 2022, the prices of agricultural earthen products at central wholesale markets for vegetables in Japan tend to peak at certain times. For example, the price of garlic peaked at 1,330 yen per kilogram in April 2021, but has since declined and is now down to 60.3% of its peak price. This trend suggests that prices of certain earthen commodities tend to rise at certain times and then stabilize or decline. This could be due to seasonality, changes in demand, or supply adjustments. Additionally, agricultural product prices are sometimes affected by climate change and domestic and international market conditions. It is important that agricultural producers and consumers continue to make efforts to ensure a stable price environment, taking into account changes in supply and demand and market trends.

Earthenware prices (latest).
The data for the prices of earthenware vegetables at central wholesale markets in Japan’s agricultural sector in 2022 covers the period from January to December. Among these, the highest price was recorded in January 2022 for garlic at 1,100 yen/kg. However, the current price is at a somewhat low level, at 72.8% of its peak. This trend suggests cycles of rising prices at certain times. In the case of garlic, after hitting a high in January 2022, prices have fallen and are now at about three-quarters of their peak level. This may be due to seasonal fluctuations, demand fluctuations, supply adjustments, etc. Prices of agricultural products sometimes depend on weather and climate changes, or on domestic and international market factors such as import and export volumes. Changes in demand and consumer tastes are also factors that affect prices. Going forward, it will be necessary to continue making efforts to achieve stable price formation while responding sensitively to changes in the balance between supply and demand and market conditions. It is also important to provide information and improve market transparency so that agricultural producers and consumers can respond flexibly to price fluctuations.
