Japan: Japan to Increase Butter and Decrease NFDM Imports in 2019

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On January 30, Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries announced its intent to import 20,000 metric tons (MT) of butter and 20,000 MT of non-fat dry milk (NFDM) in Japanese fiscal year 2019. This reflects a 7,000 MT increase in planned butter imports from the previous year as food processors ramp up demand for imports, but a 7,000 MT decrease in NFDM imports on weaker than expected demand and higher ending stocks.
