Japan fishery exports in 2025 hits record high 423.1 billion yen

TOKYO - Japanese exports of fishery products in 2025 hit a record high 423.1 billion yen ($2.6 billion), up 17.2 percent from a year earlier, reflecting the government's push to expand consumption of Japanese seafood abroad amid declining domestic demand, a government report showed Friday.

In volume terms, exports grew 42.9 percent from the previous year to 640,000 tons, according to the White Paper on Fisheries for fiscal 2025.
