About this page

This page documents Minister Eto's statement to the House of Councillors on consumer and food safety issues during the 200th Diet session. As the Consumer Affairs Agency approaches its 10th anniversary, addressing challenges from aging and digitalization becomes increasingly critical. Key initiatives include implementing the Food Loss Reduction Act, managing consumption tax increase responses, strengthening local consumer administration, establishing nationwide monitoring networks for elderly protection, promoting the consumer hotline, strictly enforcing consumer protection laws, expanding consumer education, and preparing for the lowering of the age of adulthood in 2022. The government also plans to formulate a new basic consumer policy plan addressing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
