Japan: Livestock and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

FAS/Tokyo projects Japanese beef slaughter to decrease slightly in 2018 and 2019 as the number of domestic cattle operations continues to decline. Remaining producers are likely to steadily expand herds on declining wagyu calf prices. Swine slaughter is forecast to remain stable in 2018 and dip only slightly in 2019 as producers gradually exit the industry. Flat pork production in both years will leave room for increased imports to meet growing consumer demand.
