The net operating surplus in Japan's agriculture, forestry, and seafood sectors is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the surplus is expected to be 1.0828 trillion yen, decreasing to 0.92906 trillion yen by 2028. This shows a year-on-year percentage decline starting from approximately 3.6% in 2025, increasing to around 3.9% in subsequent years. The average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is negative, suggesting ongoing contraction in these sectors' profitability.

The effects of climate change on productivity and supply chain resilience.
Government policies and subsidies that may aim to revitalize these industries.
