The forecasted data indicates that sugar cane losses in Japan are expected to remain relatively consistent from 2024 to 2028, hovering around 69.0 to 70.0 thousand metric tons. As of 2023, the actual losses were at 69.0 thousand metric tons. The year-on-year variation shows a negligible increase of approximately 1.4% from 2025 to 2026, after which the losses stabilize at 70.0 thousand metric tons. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is minimal, suggesting a relatively stable trend with slight fluctuations.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change, new agricultural policies, and technological advancements in crop management that could influence the production and losses of sugar cane in Japan. Additionally, shifts in domestic and international market demand and any economic disruptions could also affect these forecasts moving forward.
