  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Japan’s free trade agreement with the European Union (EU) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) will increase market competition for U.S. nut exports to Japan. The agreements could enter into force as early as 2019. In 2017, Japan imported $557 million in fresh and dried nuts (excluding processed such as roasted), of which 70.7 percent (approximately $394 million) was from the United States.
