Japan: Potatoes and Potato Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Heavy rains in August and September reduced Japan’s potato crop by approximately 500,000 metric tons (MT), or 20 percent lower than market year (MY) 2015/16. Accordingly, Post forecasts record exports of U.S. chipping potatoes and increased demand for processed and frozen potato products in MY 2016/2017. Japan’s fast food sector began to recover from slowing sales in 2015, but increased demand for frozen french fries still remains low. Post forecasts reduced consumption of fresh potato products in MY 2016/2017 on supply constraints and limited alternative sources due to market access barriers.
