The import volume of mutton and goat meat in Japan stood at 25.0 thousand metric tons in 2024. In subsequent years, projections indicate a slight increase to 26.0 thousand metric tons from 2025 to 2028. Since 2024 is the forecast starting point, and no 2023 data is provided, immediate year-on-year variations in percentage are unavailable. However, the consistency in projected values from 2025 to 2028 suggests a stable demand and import level with no dynamic shifts, showing a flat compound annual growth rate across the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Changes in domestic consumption patterns potentially affecting import volumes.
- The impact of currency fluctuations on import costs and pricing.
- Global supply chain developments influencing meat availability and prices.
- Policy changes related to food imports and meat industry regulations.
