Japan

Japan's olive oil production is a niche but dedicated effort. Domestic output is limited, reaching around 45 tons in 2020. This means Japan relies heavily on imports, primarily from Europe. However, there's a growing interest in domestic production. Experimental farms, particularly on the southern island of Kyushu, are achieving success. These efforts lead to award-winning olive oils, though total output remains low. Despite this, Japan's olive oil industry shows promise for future growth.
