Business in Japan | Japan Conferences

Japan is not a very agriculture friendly country. The reason behind this is lack of agriculture land but the land that they do use has a very high yield and most of it stays in country. Its main crop is rice and it is heavily subsidized so that they are self-sufficient and there are high tariffs on any rice imported to decrease competition in the market. The main power behind Japan's economy is its manufacturing industry. They are world renown for being at the forefront in certain industries technologically. The areas where they enjoy the most success are:-Consumer electronics (Televisions, Mp3 players, DVD players), Automobile Manufacturing, Semiconductor Manufacturing, Optical Fibers, Optoelectronics, Optical media and Copy Machines. In order to support this large manufacturing industry Japan has focused on maintaining its infrastructure by pumping money into the amount of roads they have and by investing power in alternative means of energy so that it does not depend on foreign fossil fuels as much. Japan also has a very efficient high speed train industry that is famous for being nearly always on time.

Research and development are important to the Japanese economy. As its economy matured in the 1970s and 1980s, Japan gradually shifted away from dependence on foreign research.

As early as 1980, the Science and Technology Agency, a component of the Kantei (office of the Prime Minister) announced the beginning of "the era of Japan's technological independence. Today, after two decades of economic stagnation, Japan's vitality and dynamism is almost palpable. As part of the government’s revitalization strategy, the country has set its sights on strengthening efforts in research and development, improving health technology and services, and elevating the status of its universities as well as reaching out globally for knowledge sharing and talent circulation. Science and technology research has been a reliable pillar of the Japanese economy. The steadily increasing national research budget acknowledges the importance of research and development (R&D) for the country as well as its role in finding solutions to Japan's urban, environmental, and economic challenges.
