Japan's beef exports have seen a significant increase, with a 2,000% rise in export value in just ten years. This success is due to the diversification of exporting countries, with the Japanese government taking a leading role in exporting Wagyu. The country is also strengthening its production base and aims to increase cattle production to 300,000 tons by 2025. In contrast, Korea is struggling with beef exports, with experts pointing out that the problem lies in the ability of local buyers. The country also lacks halal slaughterhouses, necessary for many Muslim countries. Japan is overcoming export-related obstacles through a whole-of-government approach, setting maintenance goals, and expediting administrative tasks to achieve them.
