The forecast for Japan's import of prepared or preserved shelled beans indicates a steady decline from 2024 to 2028, beginning at 55.563 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 52.078 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, where imports stood at approximately 56.5 million kilograms, the decrease illustrates a year-on-year negative growth trend. The expected CAGR over this five-year period is negative, reflecting an overall decline in import volume.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences, which could affect demand for imported beans. Additionally, changes in trade agreements or tariffs may influence import levels, as well as potential advancements in domestic production capabilities that could further impact import reliance.
