1 Vegetable Imports Approaching 20% of Total Domestic Supply The taste of imported vegetables has become more familiar to the palates of Japanese consumers in recent years. According to the Ministry of Finance, vegetable imports reached 2.71 million tons in 2001, declined 11% the following year due in part to the discovery of residual pesticides in Chinese frozen spinach, and then rebounded 4.9% to 2.53 million tons in China accounted for roughly half of the total. Figures for the January to September 2004 period came to 1.93 million tons, a pace about to equal that in Fig.1 Japan's Vegetable Imports Sources: Ministry of Finance, "Trade Statistics" The total growing area for domestic vegetable production declined approximately 20% between 1990 and 2002, in part because farmers both declined in numbers and increased in average age. Shipments of domestically grown produce in 2003 totaled million tons, or 83% of total shipments in 1

2 the country. Chilled vegetables accounted for 37% of imports in 2003 and frozen vegetables 28%. Other items included bamboo shoots, sweet corn, mushrooms and other prepared vegetable products excluding tomatoes (16%), salted products such as cucumbers, gherkins, ginger, lotus root, shallots and other vegetables (8%), prepared tomato products like tomato puree, tomato juice and ketchup (7%), dehydrated vegetables including shiitake mushrooms, daikon radishes and cloud ear mushrooms (2%), pickled products from ginger, cucumber and other vegetables (1%) and sweet potatoes (0.6%). Imported Vegetables Sink Roots in Japanese Market Imported fresh and chilled vegetables had previously been used to supplement domestic products in times of bad harvests and between seasons. But imports are now commonly conducted year-round, regardless of domestic crop yields, leading to direct competition with domestic produce owing to improved quality and greater variety. Mass merchandisers, restaurant chains and other businesses are importing vegetables to ensure stable supplies. Some companies are even dispatching production engineers to production sites in China, South Korea and elsewhere, resulting in produce that not only complies with Japanese regulations but also meets specific Japanese preferences. Imports of fresh and chilled vegetables reached a record 1.0 million tons in 2001, then declined roughly 20% to 809,000 tons in 2002, the year when pesticides were discovered in Chinese frozen spinach. But high prices for domestic produce in the following year prompted imports of fresh and chilled vegetables to rise 14.6% to 927,000 tons in Moreover, poor weather brought about a domestic supply shortage in 2004, which led to rapidly increased imports of cabbage, lettuce and other vegetables toward the end of the year. Import volumes were particularly high for onions (243,000 tons in 2003), pumpkins 2

3 (140,000 tons) and broccoli (68,000 tons), as well as burdock, ginger, green onions, carrots and turnips, in Pumpkin from New Zealand, Mexico and Tonga accounted for 45% of total shipments in Japan in 2003; imported ginger and garlic mostly from China held a near-70% share; imported broccoli, 85% of which was from the United States, had a 42% share; asparagus from primarily Australia, the Philippines and Mexico accounted for 40%; green peas almost entirely from China held a 40% share; onions 20%; and green bell peppers 15%. Taro and lotus root are among the many other imported vegetables now sold in supermarkets. Broadening culinary preferences have also whetted Japanese consumers' appetites for once-unfamiliar items such as chicory, shallots, beets and salsify, which are now being imported, albeit in small amounts.

(Note1) The annual production period for carrots and turnips differs, so import volumes for these items are from April to March and based on "Import Percentages for Major Products (2002)" prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. (Note2) Import volumes for daikon are from "Other root vegetables." 5

6 Most Frozen Vegetables Now Imported Frozen vegetables including potatoes, green soybeans and taro are now supplied almost exclusively from overseas sources. The trend has been encouraged by price competitiveness due to the stronger yen, large demand from fast-food, family-style, etc. restaurants in the food service industry and the popularization of large refrigerators and microwave ovens. Imports of frozen vegetables peaked at 809,000 tons in 2001, dropped 7.6% to 748,000 tons in 2002 and declined another 5.1% to 709,000 tons in The previously mentioned problem with pesticide in frozen spinach hurt imports of Chinese frozen vegetables overall and the impact is still being felt. Major frozen vegetable imports in 2003 included potatoes (239,000 tons), green soybeans (60,000 tons), taro (49,000 tons), sweet corn (48,000 tons) and strawberries (29,000 tons). Kidney beans, mixed vegetables, broccoli, green peas, spinach and burdock were also imported in significant quantities. Volume between January and September 2004 came to 568,000 tons, leading to estimates that the full year would recover to the 2002 level.

This included 22,000 tons of potatoes, 14,000 tons of pumpkins and 9,000 tons of corn kernels. Other produce grown domestically in significant amounts included carrots and spinach. The rising trend in imported vegetables has left domestic vegetable prices sluggish, striking a stinging blow to Japanese vegetable farmers. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has been pushing reforms to help stimulate domestic production. It has also contracted production for fixed volumes, prices, 7

8 deliveries and quality, aiming to reduce production and distribution costs by around 30%. The government has also conducted a program to help stabilize agricultural management and has introduced a system to encourage the production of value-added products, such as regional delicacies and organic vegetables. But these special measures are slated to finish by 2005, so it is unclear if they will have a lasting effect on efforts to slow the trend toward vegetable imports. Domestic and overseas growers appear to be poised for a serious food fight.
