Beef export volume from Japan FY 2014-2023
In fiscal year 2023, approximately 8.65 thousand tons of beef and veal meat were exported from Japan, an increase from about 1.36 thousand tons exported in fiscal 2014. As trade partners gradually lifted import bans for beef from Japan, which had been in place since the outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in 2001, the export volume increased sharply in recent years.
