In 2023, wheat calories supply per capita in Japan was approximately 380 kilocalories per day. Forecasted figures from 2024 to 2028 suggest a consistent yet slight decline each year, from 379.83 to 378.47 kilocalories per capita per day. This decline represents an average annual decrease of about 0.18%, reflecting a subtle long-term downtrend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential dietary shifts among the Japanese population, affecting wheat consumption.
- Global and regional supply chain developments impacting wheat availability and cost.
- Policy changes regarding agricultural imports and domestic wheat production.
- Consumer preferences for alternative grains or low-carb dietary trends.
