With this result, Vietnam becomes the 6th largest flower supplier to Japan during the period.
Imports from Vietnam accounted for 7.7% of the total import value, up 0.2 percentage points compared to January 2021.
Japan mainly imported flowers from China, Taiwan (China), Colombia and Malaysia with the value accounting for 62.4% of the country’s total in January 2022. Japan’s flower imports increased sharply from 3 of these 4 markets, only imports from the Malaysian market decreased in January 2022.
In Japan, the number of people from other Asian countries currently living and working is up to 10 million people, and at the same time, the number of Vietnamese people has increased rapidly in recent years, estimated at nearly 500,000 people in 2021.
Therefore, imported fruit and vegetables in general and flowers in particular from Vietnam are increasingly known and widely accepted and consumed by Japanese, the Vietnamese community and people of other Asian countries.
These are positive signs for Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable products in general and flower products in particular to increase their market share in the Japanese market in the near future./.
