Japan's exports of agricultural, forestry and fishery products are facing difficulties: China suspends imports, and Japan seeks a new way out!Recently, the Japanese cabinet decided to expand the export of agricultural, forestry and fishery products, however, in the news on December 25, in order to alleviate the pressure on China to suspend the import of Japanese aquatic products, Japan plans to open up new overseas markets, including scallops, major Japanese aquatic products will be exported to South Korea and EU countries.
Until then, China had been Japan's largest exporter of marine products. However, since Japan forcibly started the discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea in August this year, China immediately stopped importing relevant aquatic products. This move has dealt an unprecedented blow to Japan's related industries, and the contradictions are intensifying day by day. Against this background, Japan had to think about shifting the direction of its exports. However, the reality is that the Korean and European markets are not the same as the Chinese market, and there are differences in purchasing power. At the same time, it is still unknown how much share Japan wants to occupy in these markets during this period, and how competitive it will be.
In addition, for our country, it is also necessary to be wary of the behavior of some transit stations, for example, Japan sells its products to some countries in Europe, and these countries resell them to us after a certain amount of processing. We need to be very vigilant in this and ensure that the interests of the country are not compromised. Japan's adjustment to China's suspension of imports also presents us with challenges and opportunities. We will continue to closely monitor changes in international markets in order to better respond to possible risks and opportunities.
