Japan: Poultry and Products Annual
FAS/Tokyo forecasts Japan’s chicken market to remain stable in 2026, with modest growth in imports driven by steady demand and evolving challenges. Production is expected to match 2025 levels, as rising costs—due to yen depreciation, high feed prices, and biosecurity measures—limit expansion. Consumption remains strong, with inflation shifting demand from higher-priced thigh meat to more affordable breast meat. The food service sector has rebounded, supported by record-breaking foreign tourist arrivals. Imports, especially prepared chicken products, are expected to rise further, addressing labor shortages and growing demand for processed chicken products.
