Japan Agriculture

Only 20% of Japan’s land is suitable for cultivation and although it’s regarded as a primary sector, it accounts for only 1.3% of GDP. Just 13.2% of land is under cultivation.

Rice accounts for some 93% of all cereal production with paddy rice being the predominant form and about 39% of all arable land is dedicated to rice. Other important crops include vegetables, sweet potatoes, sugar beet and citrus.
