Japan: Forage Market Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   JA2025-0004
FAS/Tokyo projects Japan’s forage demand to continue to be sluggish in MY2024/25 due to the slow recovery of cattle inventories. Even weaker demand for imported forage is anticipated as farmers shift to price-competitive domestic forage. Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture increased support payments to expand its domestic forage production and improve supply chains for domestic forage.
