Due to the Infrastructure expansion that took place during the period of the Pacific War, production capacity of heavy iron and steel, aluminum, and machining tools, had increased during the war and post-war periods. Also the production capacity of smelting and copper refining of petroleum was maintained. Damage to infrastructure such as railways and hydroelectric power was small, but damage to the textile industry was enormous. These factors directed the heavy industrialization of Japan after World War II. Farming decreased sharply through lack of fertilizer and a decrease of the agricultural labor force in 1945. As the foreign workforce had been lost, coal production fell close to 1/10th of it capacity.
