A delegation of Japanese importers, together with the Interprofessional Association of Beef (PROVACUNO), visited Spanish beef production facilities, underscoring the increasing significance of the Japanese market for Spanish beef exports. Since entering the Japanese market in 2020, Spain has focused on boosting beef exports to Japan, achieving exports of 1,720 tonnes worth nearly 14 million euros in 2024. Due to insufficient domestic production, Japan imports around 700,000 tonnes of beef annually to meet its demand.
