After more than 20 years, Japan authorized the entry of fresh bovine tongue from Uruguay. Japan is the main importer of bovine tongue worldwide and the most notable buyer in terms of prices. Japan pays values that more than double those of other relevant importers, with a price of around US 8,500/t in 2021 for around 40K tons imported. Japan is supplied by the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. The basic tariff for the product is 12.8%, but the previous three countries, due to trade agreements, pay 5.1%. Uruguay produces around 3,200 tons of bovine tongues yearly, of which 70% are exported.
