Japan could rely on rice as a food reserve in a cut-off
A government study by Japan's Agriculture Ministry warns a total import halt would force a Westernized diet shift to carbohydrate staples. Per capita calories could fall from about 2,500 to 2,000 2,250 with heavy reliance on rice and potatoes. Even with reduced imports, reserves suggest 2,350 calories may be sustained. The analysis underscores Japan's food security strategy for the 1980s and the need to boost domestic grain and rice production.
