The situation surrounding the Japanese food industry has been changing in recent years. Those changes include a growth in global food demand caused by a population increase and economic growth in emerging countries, an expansion of agricultural products trade following TPP and EPA, as well as domestic changes such as a decrease in food demand due to dwindling birth rate and an aging population, and declining agriculture. It seems inevitable for the Japanese food industry to change drastically in the near future. We are required to cope with those changes in a timely manner.
