What factors of Japan’s geography make it necessary for it to import so many goods?

Answer 1

Japan has three main factors that make it necessary to import so many goods. First, it is an island nation with few natural resources of its own. Second, it has a large population for the size of its land mass. Finally, it is very mountainous, making it difficult to conduct enough agriculture to feed the entire population.
