Japan: Food Processing Ingredients

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In 2018, Japan’s food processing industry manufactured $216.8 billion of food and beverage products, up marginally from 2017. Health-oriented products are increasing in popularity and frozen foods consumption has doubled over the past two decades. Additionally, there is a growing demand for convenient, ready-to-eat food options, as consumers generally cook fewer meals at home. The United States is Japan’s number one agricultural trading partner, and has a reputation for being a reliable supplier of safe and high-quality foods.
