The forecast for higher education expenditure on R&D in agricultural and veterinary sciences in Japan shows a declining trend. Starting from 86.65 billion yen in 2024, the expenditure is expected to decrease by an average of 0.54% per year, reaching 85.18 billion yen by 2028. Compared to 2023, where the figure was the same as in 2024, this marks a steady decline over the forecast period. Year-on-year analysis indicates slight decreases annually, suggesting a cautious outlook for investment in these sectors.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential policy shifts or economic stimuli that could alter the investment patterns.
Developments in technology that may impact both the agricultural and veterinary sectors.
Global market demands and their influence on Japan's R&D priorities.
