Summary Market Scan
Japan is highly dependent on imports of horticultural products. This is not likely to change fundamentally in the years to come. The government makes efforts to increase vegetables intake and is implementing measures to revitalize the agriculture into a capital intensive production to meet these food security challenges. In 2014 the Next generation greenhouse program was started to supply the Japanese consumer with fresh domestic tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers. This greenhouse market report focus on the current situation in the modern greenhouse sector, including support measures of the Japanese government. The cost price of domestically produced vegetables and flowers remain high in international comparison. Further yield increase at modern greenhouses by modern management and equipment is needed.
