Predictably, it is rice, down from a maximum of 14 million metric tons annually in the 1960's, but still nearly 12 million metric tons in 1999. Importation is heavily taxed, and as late as 2005, the Japanese government was subsidizing rice production at up to ten times its actual world market value.
