Market Report:
Japan is the world’s 3rd largest economy with a total gross domestic product of US$4.1 trillion in 2015. According to an estimate of a research company, size of the domestic market for agriculture was approximately 9.72 billion yen in FY 2015. But after FY 2018 it is expected that sales and operational support solutions will increase.
In addition, precision farming is expected to expand from around FY 2018, as the system realizes internetworking between agricultural machineries and systems will get popularized. Japanese consumers are renowned for placing enormous importance on consuming food in both safe and high quality. Japan is the trendsetter in many areas, it is the useful gateway to other markets within Asia. There is an increase in demand for natural ingredients as phytochemicals help in the prevention of delay aging products. Process, chronic diseases, improves health and increase life expectancy. The further raise in the manufacturing of phytochemicals is due to demand for nutritional
