Japanese Food Exports in First Half of 2025 Hit Record High

Japanese food exports in the first six months of 2025 hit a record high of ¥809.7 billion ($5.5 billion) according to the agriculture ministry.

The record figures were pushed up in part by a 22% increase in exports to the US from a year earlier, as focus intensifies on the implementation of a US trade deal agreed last week aimed at closing the trade gap between the two countries.
