The import forecast for dried shelled kidney beans and white pea beans to Japan from 2024 through 2028 reveals a steady increase in volume, starting at 14.596 million kilograms in 2024 and gradually reaching 14.814 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to previous years, this suggests continued demand and a stable rise. In 2023, the import volume was slightly lower, indicating a positive trend. Year-on-year growth reflects a stable yet modest increase, underscoring a consistent demand path. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) illustrates a consistent, albeit slow, growth trajectory over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include possible fluctuations due to climate impact on bean production, shifts in consumer preferences for plant-based diets, trade policy changes, and currency exchange rates affecting import costs. Monitoring these factors will be key in understanding and anticipating import variations.
