Heavy rains hit Hokkaido in August, damaging horticultural products, industrial facilities, roads, and railways. As Hokkaido is a major production region for Japanese onions, pumpkins, carrots and potatoes, market prices for these domestic products have seen an immediate spike. Accordingly, increased market opportunities may exist for foreign products for which there is a supply shortage.
