Japan: Japan's Basic Plan for Food Agriculture and Rural Areas

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Japanese Government's Basic Plan for Food, Agriculture and Rural Areas, which sets Japan's agricultural policy direction for the next 10 years, is revised every five years. In March 2015, it was revised to reflect the policies of the now-ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). The new Basic Plan lowers Japan's food self-sufficiency target to a more attainable ratio and establishes a new indicator, “food self-sufficiency potential,” to evaluate latent food production capability. The new Basic Plan also establishes a new policy direction to increase feed rice production and to provide support to leading and professional farmers, with the aim of improving overall domestic farm efficiency.
