Abstract
Income from cultivated fruits in Japanese agriculture reached a record level of 923 billion yen nationwide in 2022. These figures show that fruit cultivation occupies an important position in Japanese agriculture. Fruit is a crop that can be expected to have high added value and is an important source of income for farmers. In addition, improvements in Japan’s climatic conditions and technological capabilities have led to improved quality and yields, strengthening market competitiveness. In particular, there is growing demand for high-value varieties and organic farming, and farmers are seeking to improve and diversify their production methods to meet this demand. On the other hand, there are also issues such as labor shortages and rising farmland prices, and measures to address these are needed. Overall, income from cultivated fruit in Japan has been growing steadily and is an important indicator of the future potential of agriculture.
Fruit production income
Income from crop fruits in Japanese agriculture has undergone long-term changes. Looking at data from 1955 to 2022, the figure hit a record high of 1.1 trillion yen in 1991, but has been declining since then. Current income is 83.7% of its peak level and remains low compared to past peaks. This trend is thought to be due to changes in agricultural structure and socio-economic transformation. This is due to factors such as urbanization, increased food imports, and the aging of farmers, and although the importance of fruit cultivation remains unchanged, the impact on income is significant. In addition, although productivity has improved through technological innovation and improved varieties, adapting to market competition and environmental changes remains a challenge. In the future, there will be a need to establish sustainable agriculture and support farmers.

Fruit production income (prefectures)
Income from cultivated fruits in Japanese agriculture has been fluctuating for a long time. Looking at data from 1960 to 2022, Aomori recorded a high level of 109 billion yen in 2021, but has since declined slightly. Current income is 96.1% of its peak, suggesting that fruit cultivation in Aomori remains an important source of income. Aomori is known as a producer of apples, pears, and other fruits, and the production volume and quality are high. On the other hand, there are challenges in maintaining a stable income due to climate change and changes in agricultural policies. Although productivity is improving thanks to technological innovation and the efforts of farmers, challenges such as market competition and labor shortages still remain. In the future, there will be a need to build sustainable agricultural systems and revitalize local economies.

Fruit production income (latest year, prefecture)
Total income from cultivated fruits in Japan in 2022 will be 923 billion yen, with Aomori recording the highest amount at 105 billion yen. The average income was 19.6 billion yen, suggesting disparities across regions and crops. Fruit cultivation occupies an important position in Japanese agriculture and maintains its status as a high-added-value crop. Advances in technology and improved varieties have led to increased yields and quality to meet consumer demand. On the other hand, challenges such as climate change and labor shortages also exist, and efforts to address these are necessary. To ensure that crop income remains an important part of the overall picture, it is essential to develop sustainable agricultural systems and support farmers.
