As of 2024, Japan's pulses production is forecasted to progressively decrease from 60.66 thousand metric tons to 55.26 thousand metric tons by 2028. Assuming production in 2023 stood at around 62 thousand metric tons, this represents a clear downward trend.

The year-on-year production variation depicts a continuous decline, suggesting a reduction in pulses cultivation or demand. From 2024 to 2028, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a steady decrease in production by approximately 2% annually. This reflects broader trends potentially influenced by dietary shifts, agricultural policies, or climatic conditions.

Future Trends to Watch:

Impact of climatic changes on agricultural yield and land use.
Shifts towards alternative dietary sources and their influence on pulses consumption.
Government policies and subsidies aimed at boosting agricultural production or supporting exports.
