September input prices hit record high; agricultural price index falls as rice plunges

Japan’s agriculture ministry reported that the production-input price index reached 133.5 in September, based on 2020=100, a record high. The agricultural price index declined as rice prices fell sharply.

WHY IT MATTERS

Record-high input costs squeeze farm margins, while the sharp fall in rice prices weighs on producer returns. These pressures may affect farmers’ production and purchasing decisions, including demand for feed inputs.
