"Broccoli, the King of Vegetables"

Broccoli, known as the "king of vegetables," is rich in nutrients such as dietary fiber, potassium, vitamins A, C, E, and folic acid, making it an essential vegetable for daily meals.
Shipping volumes are also increasing, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has announced that it will be added to the list of "designated vegetables" from fiscal 2026.
"Designated vegetables" are vegetables that are "highly consumed and important to the lives of the people" and are designated by the government. There are currently 14 designated vegetables: cabbage, cucumber, taro, daikon radish, tomato, eggplant, carrot, green onion, Chinese cabbage, bell pepper, lettuce, onion, potato, and spinach.

"The first designated vegetable in 50 years"
text
This is the first time a designated vegetable has been added in 50 years, since potatoes were added.Once designated as a vegetable, producers are required to draw up supply plans based on national supply and demand guidelines, ensuring stable production and supply. In addition, if the price drops significantly, the government will provide subsidies to producers.
Broccoli prices are highly susceptible to weather fluctuations, and in Tokyo markets, the average monthly price has fluctuated from 289 yen to 707 yen per kilogram over the past year, a surprising level of fluctuation even for consumers. If broccoli is sold on the market as a "designated vegetable," it is expected that these price fluctuations will be curbed and a stable supply will be ensured.
