One of Japans most remarkable economic achievement has been in food production. Since the end of the nineteenth century food production for the countries population has been one of the most critical economic problems, and was a major factor in Japan trying to take over other countries. Japan is now about eighty percent self-sufficient in it's food supply. The country produces appal foods for the people such as rice, vegetables, fruits, eggs, poultry, meat, and fish. The imported foods have been reduced to wheat, corn, sugar, and dairy products. The development of a mass market has played the most important role in the economic success.
