Very Soon Japan Will Track Wild Game Meat on an NEM - Based Blockchain.

There has been a drastic reduction of licensed hunters in Japan. Citing figures from the Ministry of the Environment, the Japan Times pointed to 198,000 hunters in Japan, down from 210,000 in 2000 and a high of 518,000 in 1975. 66%, or 131,000 of the licensed hunters are over 60 years old. The population of wild boar and deer have both skyrocketed in the meantime to both inflict damage on agricultural land and encroachment into populated human areas.
