Today? I believe it's the highest per ton of agricultural product in the world. A lot of it is sprayed by hand, or by little mini-carts, given the small scale intensive nature of Japanese ag, but they still use a lot. Lots of pesticides, too.

Re: Any idea - or data - (none / 0)

I have very little knowledge of Japanese agriculture but I do recall reading that there was some sort of "too much is not enough" when it came to fertilization.

It is all so big and about to be so out of control due to peak oil ... most days it's enough just trying to take in the situation in the areas I know well.
