In spite of its small size, Japan is the third largest economy in the whole world, behind only the United States and China. Japan has little land suitable for agriculture, but it delivers high yield nonetheless, and local markets consume most of its products. Rice is the main agricultural crop and it is highly subsidized. Those desiring to import rice must pay high tariffs. Regarding food, Japan imports meat and wheat from the United States and China. Raw materials are Japan’s largest import for manufacturing.
