Japan has resumed its strawberry exports to the Philippines, signaling a positive step in the expanding trade relationship between the two countries. Following an agreement between Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries and Philippine quarantine authorities, the export ban imposed due to pest concerns has been lifted, creating new opportunities for both nations.
The resumption of exports comes with a set of new quarantine measures designed to ensure the safe and sustainable trade of strawberries. These measures include pest monitoring, registration of production facilities, and pre-export testing for pesticide residues. These steps reflect the commitment of both countries to uphold the highest standards of trade and safeguard agricultural products.
Japan’s Ambassador to Manila shared the exciting news on social media, celebrating this milestone in bilateral trade and the renewed access for Filipino consumers to premium Japanese strawberries. The resumption of exports underscores the collaborative efforts between Japan and the Philippines to enhance agricultural trade and strengthen economic ties.
This positive development follows recent trade achievements, including the Philippines becoming the first Asian country to export Hass avocados to Japan. These milestones reflect the growing partnership between the two nations and their shared commitment to expanding trade and fostering economic growth.
The return of Japanese strawberries to the Philippine market is a win for both sides, opening doors for more diverse agricultural trade opportunities and enriching the consumer experience with high-quality produce.
