| Responsible Agency: Census
Statistics Office, Management and Structure Statistics Division, Statistics
Department, Minister's Secretariat, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries. Purpose: This census has been conducted since 1950 to obtain basic statistics on agriculture and forestry in Japan for their administration. The census consists of surveys for operation on agriculture and forestry (i.e., farm households, forestry households and other types of agricultural and forestry management entities), their characteristics, labour force, structures of management (production) and volume of resources such as cultivated land and forest area. It also depicts the present condition of the rural communities and areas where such entities are located. Moreover, under the international agreement on economic statistics, two types of censuses, the world census conducted every ten years, and the domestic census conducted in the fifth year after the world census, are implemented under the same system. Contents: In the Census of Agriculture and Forestry 2005, from the perspective of the proper understanding of agricultural and forestry management, the focus of the survey was changed from a household (farm household and forestry household) to an operation as management entity. From the point of view of a comprehensive grasping of the status regarding agriculture and forestry in an regional area, the three surveys on agriculture (survey on farm household, survey on agricultural entity other than farm households and survey on agricultural service entity) and three surveys on forestry (survey on forestry household, survey on forestry entity other than forestry household and survey on forestry service entity) were integrated into one as "Survey on Operation of Agriculture and Forestry". Furthermore, the period of the survey on forestry, which was conducted every ten years, was five years as same as the survey on agriculture. To fully understand the multi-functionality performed by agriculture, forestry and rural communities, the survey on rural community and the survey on forestry area was integrated into "Survey on rural area," which was implemented every five years. According to the Census of Agriculture and Forestry 2005 (rough figures), there were 2,075,000 agricultural and forestry management entities. These consisted of 1,999,000 agricultural management entities and 200,000 forestry management entities. The forest area was 24,732,000 ha. [Outline of Survey] Reference dates: Years of world census: 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000. Years of domestic census: 1955, 1965, 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005.

| 5.9 Fishery Census (Designated Statistical Survey) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Responsible agency: Census Statistics Office, Management and Structure Statistics Division, Statistics Department, Minister’s Secretariat, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.. Purpose: This census, conducted every 5 years since 1949, is designed to ascertain the overall situation of fisheries production. Fishery enterprises, fishing vessels, persons engaged in fishery, and fishery household members are identified to determine the structure of fishery production and employment in fisheries. The outline of fishing regions, fisheries environments, the living environment of fishing communities, the distribution system for fishing products, and fisheries processing plants are also determined. Contents: Japan faces increasingly harsher conditions year-by-year due to large-scale reduction in fishing grounds due to establishment of 200-nautical mile fishing zones and the decrease in the quantity of catches caused by deterioration of the level of fishing resources in Japanese waters. In addition, even in the open seas over which no country claims jurisdiction, fishing control has been tightened to protect marine life and preserve marine ecology. These have led to a yearly decline in the number of persons engaged in fishery, noticeably among the younger generations, and current persons engaged in fishery are aging or retiring. This situation has sparked anxiety about decline in fishery production and vitality of fishing villages. The 11th fishery census (2003), which took account of such a situation was implemented to determine changes in fishery production and structure of employment in fisheries in order to furnish necessary and accurate data for calculating administrative measures and to consolidate regional statistics on fisheries. These measures contribute to regional utilization of statistics, while consolidating populations of various fishery statistics. According to the results of the 11th fishery census, there were 132,417 marine fishery enterprises. It was a decrease by 12.1% from the 1998 survey. The number of fishery households also decreased by 17.8% to 49,888, and the number of persons engaged in fishery also fell by 14.0% to 238,371 [Outline of Survey] Reference dates: 1949, 1954, 1958, 1963, 1968, 1973, 1978, 1983, 1988, 1993, 1998, and 2003. Survey frequency and date (or period): Frequency: 5 years (since 1958). Survey date: 1 November 2003 (previous survey). Survey method: Area covered: Nation. Unit: Households, establishments, fishing districts. Survey method: Enumerator survey (self-entry, enumerator's entry) or staff survey (self-entry, staff's entry). Tabulation items: Marine fishery enterprises, the number of fishing vessels and tonnage, the number of fishery households, fishery household members, persons engaged in fishery, and fishing boat crews, living environment of fishery districts, environments fishing grounds, angler, fish markets, processing plant, freezing and refrigerating plants. Publication (Name and date) of survey results: A preliminary report is released by the end of August of the year following the survey. Basic statistics are released in the year following the survey year. Two years after the survey, the second aggregates, summary, and statistics in English are made public. Language: Japanese and English (summary only).

| Responsible agency: Production,
Marketing and Consumption Statistics Division, Statistics Department, Minister's
Secretariat, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Purpose: To determine the input condition of production methods and investigating operation and production in marine fisheries and marine culture in Japan. As basic data on fisheries administration, the statistics are widely used for identifying trends in fishery and marine resources, planning the promotion of fisheries, preparing for Food balance Sheet, and preparing materials for international negotiations on fisheries. For inland water fisheries and inland water culture, which are considered separately from this survey, an approved statistical survey on catches and culture production of inland water fishes is conducted once a year, January-March (complete enumeration). [Outline of Survey] Reference dates: Since 1951. Survey frequency and date (or period): Frequency: Monthly. Survey Date: Every month. Survey method: Area covered: Nation. Unit: Fishing units (marine fishery enterprises, landing agencies, marine aquaculture enterprises). Sampling method: Complete enumeration. Survey method: Staff survey (self-entry and entry by staff), enumerator survey (enumerator's entry). Tabulation items: Quantity of fishery and aquaculture production by type of fishery, quantity of fishery and aquaculture production by fish species, number of fishing units by type of marine fisheries and size, number of fishing days by type of marine fishery, number of fishery enterprises by main type of fisheries Publication (Name and date) of survey results: "Annual Statistics on Fishery and Aquaculture Production", together with the results of "Surveys on Inland water Fishery Production" is published the end of March two years following the survey.

| 5.11 Food Balance Sheet (Processed Statistics) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Responsible agency: Food
Policy Planning Division, General Food Policy Bureau, Ministry of Agriculture,
Forestry and Fisheries. Purpose: The Food Balance Sheet is being prepared every fiscal year based on an FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) manual. In order to figure out grasp such matters as the general situations of food supply and demand, nutritional level and structure, and changes in the food consumption structure, it is designed to identify the total volume of food nutrition supplied in Japan from their production to final consumption, and to indicate the per capita net food supply and nutritional volume. It serves as the basis of the calculation of the food self-sufficiency rate. Contents (example): The self-sufficiency rate in Japan has declined over the years. The self-sufficiency rate of supplied calorific value (domestically-produced calorific value per capita/day / supplied calorific value per capita/day) was 40% in 2003, and the grain self-sufficiency rate (volume of domestic grain production / volume of total grain consumption) was 27%, a decline of 33 points and 35 points from fiscal 1965, respectively. The net consumption of the main food items per capita/year indicates that the consumption of rice has declined from 111.7 kg to 61.9 kg, while the consumption of other items as mentioned below has increased drastically: meat from 9.2 kg to 28.2 kg, milk and dairy products from 37.5 kg to 93.0 kg, and oils and fats from 6.3 kg to 15.0 kg in this period. Thus, while the consumption of rice has declined over the years despite its high self-sufficiency rate, the consumption of livestock products which depend on imported feed, and that of oils and fats, which depend on imported raw materials, has been increasing. The decline of food self-sufficiency rate in Japan is the change in diet. [Outline of Report] Report frequency and date (or period): Yearly. Preparation of Report: As a rule, the Food Balance Sheet is being prepared based on the FAO manual for the preparation of the food balance sheet. However, most of the figures for the table-top items are either values surveyed or estimated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Tabulation items: The Food Balance Sheet consists of the following tables and items: 1. The food supply and demand sheets by fiscal year ; 2. Accumulated annual sheets by table item ; 3. Accumulated annual sheets by food item ; 4. Accumulated annual sheets by main item ; 5. Related indices 6. Reference tables. Publication (Name and date) of survey results: Around March two years following the reference year of the survey. Language: Japanese only.

 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Responsible agency: Statistics Planning Division, Statistics Department, Minister’s Secretariat, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Purpose: Index numbers of agricultural, forestry and fishery production, and their total "the comprehensive index numbers of agricultural, forestry and fishery production" are indicators for macro-wise grasping the trends of production in agriculture, forestry, and fishery. They are prepared annually based on annual indices. Breakdown of the index: Index Numbers of Agricultural, Forestry and Fishery Production is Composed of the following indices  Base time and the year of calculation of weight: 2000 (however, the years for the calculation of the weights for the fisheries index are 1999 and 2000) Items used for the calculation: The items used for the calculation were those for which the yearly output statistics could be obtained, and those having shares of 1/10,000 or more in the output by sector namely agriculture, forestry and fisheries. The combined Index Numbers of Agricultural, Forestry and Fishery Production was calculated using 307 items, with the breakdown being 162 items for Index Numbers of Agricultural Production, 19 items for Index Numbers of Forestry Production, and 126 items for Index Numbers of Fishery Production. Name and date of publication:On the internet site, Rough figures is available at August and finalized figures is available at December. Language:Japanese, and English (summary)
