ITokyo — Ukuthunyelwa kweti eluhlaza eJapan kufikelele kwinqanaba eliphezulu kwiminyaka engaphezu kwama-70 kwiinyanga ezili-10 zokuqala zalo nyaka, kukhuthazwe yimarike yomgubo we-matcha phesheya ekhulayo kunye nexabiso eliphantsi le-yen, umboniso wedatha karhulumente kunye nowemizi-mveliso.
Ukususela ngoJanuwari ukuya ku-Okthobha kulo nyaka, ukuthunyelwa kweti kwamanye amazwe kunyuke ngama-44% xa kuthelekiswa nexesha elifanayo kunyaka ophelileyo, kwafikelela kwiitoni ezili-10,084. I-United States yayiyeyona ndawo inkulu yokuthunyelwa kweti kwamanye amazwe, apho ukuthunyelwa kweti kwamanye amazwe kufikelele kwiitoni ezingama-3,497 kwiinyanga ezili-10 zokuqala, kulandele iTaiwan, iThailand, neJamani.

Nangona intengiso yaphesheya isanda, ukuthunyelwa kwempahla ngonyaka kusahleli ngaphantsi kweetoni ezili-10,000 ukusukela oko kwafikelela kwi-11,553 yeetoni ngo-1954, ngokuyinxenye ngenxa yokuthandwa kakhulu kweti yaseTshayina.
Nangona imfuno yeti eluhlaza yasekhaya ibuthathaka eJapan, amaxabiso eti anyukile kwiminyaka yakutshanje ngenxa yokwehla kwemveliso.
Ngowama-2024, imveliso yeti yaseJapan yayiqikelelwa kwi-74,000 yeetoni, ihle ngaphezulu kwe-10% kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, ngenxa yokuncipha kwemfuno ye-sencha (iti ebilisiwe) kunye nokwanda kwabemi bezolimo.
