Japan: Dairy and Products Annual
Japanese production of fluid milk is projected to fall again in 2014, though a modest recovery is anticipated in 2015. In 2014, Japan contracted significant additional volumes of imported butter and non-fat dry milk, more than doubling Japanese fiscal year 2014 current access commitments; U.S. suppliers were not price competitive. Imports of U.S. cheeses will set a new record in 2014, outstripping the 2013 record high by at least 30 percent.
