Abstract
When looking at the market trends for vegetables in Japanese agriculture, some interesting trends emerge in terms of both wholesale volume and wholesale price. Looking at the data for 2022, Fukuoka City recorded the highest increase in wholesale volume with a 1.4% growth rate, and also topped the list in wholesale price with a 7.3% growth rate. This suggests that demand for agricultural products from Fukuoka City is growing. Meanwhile, trends in other regions are also attracting attention. For example, analysis will include what changes are being observed in other markets, whether there are significant differences in the rates of increase or decrease, and whether changes in demand or adjustments in supply are having an impact. It is important to continue collecting and analyzing data to gain a deeper understanding of the characteristics and influencing factors of each market, and to use this information in formulating agricultural policies and market strategies.
Year-on-year change in vegetable sales (wholesale quantity)
Considering the market trends for vegetables in Japanese agriculture, the year-on-year change in wholesale volume is an interesting indicator. Looking at data from 2003 to 2022, Kasai Market recorded an astonishing growth rate of 35.6% in 2008. However, it has since fallen by 18.3% from its peak, showing the extent of the fluctuations. Such fluctuations are likely due to multiple factors, including changes in demand and supply and increased market competition. Other markets are also fluctuating similarly, suggesting that characteristics and competitiveness differ from region to region. Analyzing these market trends and considering measures such as forecasting demand for agricultural products and adjusting supply is important for the sustainable development of agriculture.
