In 2023, Japan's pork export volume stood close to current forecasts at approximately 4.0 thousand metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2027 maintains a steady volume of 4.0 thousand metric tons annually. A significant change is expected in 2028, with a forecasted increase to 5.0 thousand metric tons, indicating a substantial growth forecast towards the end of the period. Year-on-year variation is negligible from 2024 to 2027. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the entire period suggests a modest upward trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Impact of policy changes in major importing countries on pork demand.
Influence of consumer preferences shifting towards or away from pork internationally.
Potential for increased production capacity and efficiency improvements in Japan.
Effects of global economic conditions on export competitiveness.
