Japan is currently one of the largest importers of food products in the world. Last year the country purchased agricultural food products from other countries for the total amount of approximately $60 billion. The main part was fish and seafood, meat, crops and fruits. Fish and seafood traditionally occupy a key place in the structure of agricultural products supply from Russia to Japan.
