However, only 20% of the total land area is suitable for cultivation and agricultural sector is highly subsidized. The pelagic whaling feet consist of a number of ships that hunt and process whale catch as well as protecting the hunt against the protest. Renewable energy Japan: water power dominates renewable energy in Japan. In fact, Japan is the largest importer of liquefied natural gas and coal, and the second-largest importer of oil in the world. In addition, there Agriculture is characterized by the decreasing availability of arable land surplus rice, and low agricultural income.

Except for the periods after the oil crises of 1973 and 1979, energy consumption in Japan has steadily increased. supply. Imports of crude oil account for the largest portion. Most of the man-made forests remain largely untouched and are so dense that they require thinning.

The deman… However, the available land is cultivated intensively.

The country has few deposits of coal, mainly found in Kyushu and Hokkaido. Japan has negligible mineral resources, especially under the seabed.While Japan has a small land area (approximately 145,937 square miles), the land is mainly covered with forest. They are mainly located on steep mountains and contain cedar and cypress.Fish is considered the main natural resource of Japan. Japan’s forest has the potential for increasing export and employment opportunities.

Moreover, prospects for importing electricity from neighboring The species of whales hunted by the Japanese fleet include sperm whales, minke, humpback, western gray, and northern fin whale. However, Japan has insisted that whaling is purely for scientific research.Agriculture and fishing are the primary sectors of the Japanese economy. Following the shutdown of the nuclear reactors in 2011 following a series of earthquakes and tsunamis, the industrial sector of Japan has even become more reliant on imported fossil fuel. These areas are the forest that covers a large portion of the land and the ocean which surrounds the archipelago.

In order to overcome … Following the two oil crises in the 1970s, Japan has diversified its energy sources through increased use of nuclear energy, natural gas and coal, as well as the promotion of energy efficiency and conservation.Despite these improvements, oil still accounts for about 40% of Japan’s The share of arable land has fallen gradually over the years but farming still remains a major economic activity. 40% of the forests in the country are planted forests. The rest of the self-produced energy is either exported into other countries or unused. primary energy supply, and more than 80% of imported oil comes from the politically To solve these problems, the government of Japan has embarked on a program to consolidate farmlands as part of Reform Package which was introduced in 2014.Japan has very little mineral deposits and mainly rely on imports to meet its demand. Japan can provide itself completely with self-produced energy. is an urgent need for global warming countermeasures such as reduction of carbon

Approximately 68.2% of the Japanese land is under the forest cover, the world’s 4th highest percentage after Forests in Japan have high quality and wide varieties of trees. Approximately 68.2% of the Japanese land is under the forest cover, the world’s 4th highest percentage after Laos, Finland, and Bhutan, and far ahead of countries such as the US, Britain, France, and China. Japan conducts whaling in both pelagic areas of the Southern Ocean and North Pacific Ocean. The figure shows … Copper has been produced in Japan in small quantities since the turn of the 20th century. There is a great shortage of farmland in Japan. While Japan has a small land area (approximately 145,937 square miles), the land is mainly covered with forest. Along with pure consumptions the production, imports and exports play an important role. Other metal resources that have been produced in the country include gold, silver, manganese, tin, and zinc. Japanese whaling has been a source of conflict between Japan and the anti-whaling organizations and countries.

Non-metal elements that have also been mined in Japan include sulfur, antimony, and graphite.All maps, graphics, flags, photos and original descriptions © 2020 worldatlas.com The territorial waters of Japan and its Japan is also one of the few nations that are involved in commercial whaling.

Japan's energy supply structure is extremely vulnerable. The country depends on imported raw material and energy.

The forests were planted in the years following the Pacific War with the aim of providing construction material. However, the production has significantly declined over the years. conservation, while placing top priority on safety.For the future, it is important for Japan’s energy mix to continue to include a certain level of nuclear energy premised on ensuring safety, while maximizing the use of renewable energy and using a reasonable proportion of thermal power considering the stability of fuel supply.The “Strategic Energy Plan” decided by the government in April 2014 also states that nuclear power is as important base load power source that can, strictly premised on safety, contribute to the stability of the supply and demand structure of energy.In June 2015, a plan was announced to maintain the proportion of nuclear power at 20 to 22 percent in the energy mix in 2030. To ensure Japan’s stable electricity
