Japan: Updates on Potato Production and Consumption in Japan

FAS/Tokyo estimates an 18 percent reduction, to 1.8 million metric tons, in Japan’s 2021 domestic fresh potato supply due to unfavorable weather in Hokkaido for two years in row. This reduction in domestic output will increase demand for potato imports, especially for frozen potato products, such as French fries.
