The import of grain sorghum to Japan from 2018 to 2022 shows a clear declining trend, with values decreasing from 450.37 million kilograms in 2018 to 85.138 million kilograms in 2022. The year-on-year variation reflects a continued downward path, evident from the significant drop in 2022. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates an average decrease per year over the last five years, underscoring the declining import demand. In 2023, the trend persisted with volumes further diminishing.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Domestic production changes affecting demand for imports
- Trade policies that might impact import volumes
- Alternative grain developments influencing sorghum demand
