We are pleased to announce that in March 2024, Japan Foreign Trade Council, Inc. published “Foreign Trade 2024”, with full coverage of Japan's foreign trade statistics on a customs-cleared basis for the previous year.

“Foreign Trade 2024” marks the 49th edition of this publication since it was first released in 1976. Using latest trade statistics, “Foreign Trade 2024” features Japan’s foreign trade, by area and by commodity. It is abundant with graphs and charts, and concise comments so readers can quickly grasp the basic trend of Japan’s trade. The structure of the 2024 edition has been partially revised to condense necessary information. For the purpose of improving convenience and going paperless, we will publish an electronic version (e-book).

We hope you will find this volume useful, as educational material for new employees, as a handy reference for overseas business trip, or as a reference material for employees in overseas offices.
