In 2023, even though the costs of raw materials such as palm oil and soybean oil stabilised, the prices of butter and spreads in Japan increased due to the rising costs of packaging, labour, and transportation. This led to price revisions throughout the year. The consumer trend towards saving by reducing purchases, along with the downsizing of final products, negatively impacted retail volume sales of butter and spreads.
