The forecasted volume of pulses per capita in Japan from 2024 to 2028 remains stable at 1.43 kilograms annually. Given the data, this suggests a stagnation in the consumption rate of pulses compared to 2023. In 2023, the volume was likely similar, showing no significant year-on-year variation.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in dietary trends that could increase pulse consumption, given their health benefits.
- Influence of global trade policies on pulse availability and price, potentially impacting consumption.
- Environmental considerations that might encourage sustainable pulse farming, affecting local supply.
