In 2023, Japan's agricultural irrigated land stood at approximately 34.5% of total agricultural land. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 show a gradual decline, with values decreasing from 34.45% in 2024 to 34.29% in 2028. The year-on-year decrease reveals a consistent downward trend of about 0.1% per year. Analyzing this over a five-year period results in a modest CAGR of -0.1%, indicating a slight but persistent reduction in the proportion of irrigated agricultural land.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of technological advancements in efficient water usage and their potential to alter the current trend.
- Government policies on sustainable agriculture and water conservation in response to changing climate conditions.
- Economic shifts within the agricultural sector that may influence resource allocation and land use priorities.
