Japan’s agricultural exports rise 11% in 2022 excluding processed items

TOKYO, Feb. 4 — The value of Japan’s exports of primary agricultural products in 2022 rose 11 percent from the previous year to 381.8 billion yen. The figure was calculated by subtracting the value of exports of processed food items from the total amount, based on the data released by the agriculture ministry on Feb. 3. Amid the recovery of demand for eating out as well as the steady household and gift demands, orders for Japan-made produce increased due to their comparatively low prices thanks to the weak yen. Japan is facing the challenge of maintaining the popularity of its farm products, as consumption is expected to slow down in […]

Japan’s exports of processed foods made from imported farm produce soar, raising doubts over contribution of exports to domestic agriculture

TOKYO, Jan. 9 — Japan’s exports of processed foods made from ingredients imported from overseas have been increasing rapidly. Export value figures in the last decade show that shipments rose particularly for coffee beans, increasing six times over the period, and instant coffee, up five times. Such items are categorized as Japan-made agricultural and food products when they are exported, which means it is becoming more difficult to determine to what extent exports are contributing to boosting Japan’s agriculture. It is urgently needed to grasp the situation of exports of foods that use ingredients shipped from abroad. The Japanese government has set a goal of raising the country’s exports of […]

Prized marbled wagyu at crossroads as industry shifts focus to fat quality

Evaluating wagyu beef for its quality of fat, rather than its quantity, is a growing trend in the livestock industry. At Japan’s largest wagyu fair, held in October, a new category was established to focus on “fat quality,” which is believed to be the key to taste and tenderness.

With the graying of the population and increasing health consciousness, a growing number of consumers are preferring lean meat. Meanwhile, knowledge about how to fatten cows to achieve high-fat […]
