apan’s exports of agricultural, fishery and forestry products and related foods reached ¥922.3 billion in 2020, up 1.1% from the previous year, a preliminary government report showed Friday.
Although exports dropped year-on-year in the first half amid the spread of coronavirus infections, their value marched back to a record high for the eighth straight year thanks to strong demand for eggs and other agricultural products for home consumption, as people spent more time at home.
