We are pleased to announce that in March 2021, Japan Foreign Trade Council, Inc. published “Foreign Trade 2021”, with full coverage of Japan's foreign trade statistics on a customs-cleared basis for the previous year.

“Foreign Trade 2021” marks the 46th edition of this publication since it was first released in 1976. Using latest trade statistics, “Foreign Trade 2021” 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. Improvements have been added over the years, such as addition of English printed to the side, addition of graph and charts, as well as expansion of new information to the data chapter.
