# Executive Summary

Japanese seed imports in 2002 were \$121,905,000 on a Japanese customs
clearance basis, down 14.6% from \$142,690,000 in the previous year. The
U.S. share, as leading seed exporter to Japan, was 29.6% of the total
dollar volume, at \$36,093,000. The dollar value of seed exports to the
world from Japan, on the other hand, increased 2.1% from the previous
year to \$82,817,000 in 2002. The U.S. share, as a dominant supplier of
seeds, was 24% of Japanese vegetable seed imports, 91% of sweet corn
seeds, 43% of forage crop seeds, 54% of pea/bean seeds, and 38% of other
miscellaneous crop seeds in 2002.

Japanese phytosanitary regulations on seed imports are not a significant
impediment to the seed trade with Japan. Japan subscribes to the
International Convention on the Protection of New Plant Varieties and
registered seed varieties are protected under Japan's Seeds & Seedlings
Act, revised most recently in June 2003 to improve enforcement.

The number of new seed variety applications for legal protection made to
the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) during
Japan's fiscal year (FY) 2002 (April--March), dropped 13% from the
previous year to 1002 cases. The number of new seed varieties registered
during the same period declined 7.5% from the previous year to 1,119
cases. The cumulative number of officially registered seed varieties
planted and grown outside Japan through March 2003 was 3,027, up from
2,775 the previous year.

# Production

With Japan's domestic farm sector showing continuing signs of stagnation
in farm production, the focus of Japanese seed business trade continues
to be international operations. Statistical information for domestic
seed production is not available.

# Trade

## Imports

Japanese planting seed imports were \$121,905,000 in 2002, down 15% from
\$142,690,000 in 2001. In quantity, the imports dropped 3% from 101,468
metric tons (MT) in 2001 to 98,166 MT in 2002. Imports of all seed
categories, including vegetable seeds, forage crop seeds, herbaceous
plant seeds and sweet corn seeds, all declined correspondingly.

Japanese seed imports from the U.S. in 2002 dropped 21% in dollar value
but grew 18% in quantity from the previous year. U.S. exports of forage
crop seeds, which account for 83% of Japan's seed imports from the U.S.,
grew by 42% by quantity in 2002.

# Seed and Plant Protection Policy: (Revised Japanese Seeds and Seedlings Act)

Planting seeds are primarily regulated under the Seeds and Seedlings Act
(the Act). The Act was revised in 1998, as a result of the 1991 revision
in the International Convention for Protection of New Plant Varieties
(UPOV), to which Japan is a signatory. The Act was revised again in June
2003, effective July 8, 2003.

The most recent revision responds to infringements on property rights
holders and includes greater protection for these owners. Recent
infringements include a Japanese farmer selling strawberry seeds to
Korean and Chinese farmers without approval from the original breeder
and trading companies selling new vegetable varieties to corporate
growers in Korea and China for production and re-export as finished
products to Japan. The revised Act provides added protection against
illegal production, sale and trade of the registered varieties,
including stronger criminal provisions.

Key components of the revised Act include:

1.  Expanding the scope of products covered under the penal regulations
    to include not only transactions involving seeds, but also crops.

2.  Raising the maximum amount of the penal fine for corporate violators
    from 3 million yen to 100 million yen.

In line with the revision of the Seeds and Seedlings Act, Japanese
Customs Law was also amended in March 2003, to authorize Japanese
customs officials to order confiscation, disposition, or destruction of
imported planting seeds or crops that violate provisions of the Act.

# Variety Registrations

There were 1,002 applications for legal protection under the Act made to
MAFF in FY 2002 (April-March), down from 1152 the previous year. There
were 1,119 new variety registrations in 2002, down from 1,210 the
previous fiscal year.
