Japan sees increased banana imports from Vietnam

Japan is currently importing bananas from several markets, such as Ecuador, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru and Costa Rica. However, it seems that Vietnamese bananas are increasingly gaining a foothold in Japan, thanks to their competitive prices and taste.

At the moment however, despite recording a strong growth, Vietnamese bananas make up only 0.6 percent of Japan's total banana imports. Japan Customs reports Japan spent roughly 171.2 million USD on importing 244,000 tons of bananas in the first quarter of 2022, a decline of 2.5 percent in volume and an increase of 3.5 percent in value.
