The pearl production volume of Japanese marine aquacultures amounted to approximately 13 thousand tons in 2022, the same amount as the previous year. Within the observed period, the pearl output peaked in 2018 at around 21 thousand tons.
While losing its importance to the domestic economy, cultured pearl farming in Japan still contributes greatly to the international pearl trade, mainly due to Japanese expertise and investments in the industry.
