Reasons to limit fruit consumption in Japan 2022
The high prices of fruits were the leading reason to limit the amount consumed in Japan as revealed in a survey conducted in October 2022. The Japanese government recommended a daily intake of 200 grams of fruits, but almost 36 percent of respondents did not reach the amount because the products were too expensive.
While Japan has wide nature-filled areas outside of the metropolitan regions, the majority of its terrain is mountainous, resulting in a lack of arable land suitable for fruit cultivation.
