タイ・ベトナムに輸出先転換　中国ホタテ禁輸で戦略改訂―政府

　政府は２５日、農林水産物・食品の輸出拡大に向けた関係閣僚会議を首相官邸で開き、輸出拡大実行戦略を改訂した。中国による日本産水産物の禁輸を踏まえ、水産物の輸出先の多角化を推し進める狙い。輸出額が激減したホタテ貝は、中国に代わる加工・輸出ルートとして、タイやベトナムなどへの輸出額目標を掲げた。
　林芳正官房長官は会議で「厳しい状況を認識した上で輸出先国の多角化を進め、政府一体となって輸出促進の取り組みを強力に進めていく必要がある」と述べた。
　改訂戦略では、ホタテ貝の２０２５年の輸出額としてタイ２４億円、ベトナム５億円の目標を新たに設定。一方、中国は禁輸の撤廃を前提に２７０億円の従来目標を据え置いた。韓国（４１億円）と欧州連合（ＥＵ、４５億円）も目標を新設した。（2023/12/25-19:31）

The Japanese government on Monday revised its strategy for expanding agricultural, forestry, fishery and food exports, aiming to boost scallop exports to Thailand, Vietnam and other markets in the face of China's ban on Japanese fishery goods.
   "It's necessary for the government as a whole to step up efforts to promote exports by diversifying export destinations while recognizing the severe situation," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said at a related ministerial meeting at the prime minister's office the same day.
   In the revised strategy, the government newly set targets for scallop exports in 2025 to Thailand and Vietnam at 2.4 billion yen and 500 million yen, respectively. Such targets were also set at 4.1 billion yen for South Korea and 4.5 billion yen for the European Union.
   Meanwhile, the government maintained the target of 27 billion yen for China, in the hope that the country will lift the fishery import ban.
   In January-October, Japan's agricultural, forestry, fishery and food exports grew 4.1 pct from a year before to 1,166.4 billion yen. Japan aims to boost annual exports to 2 trillion yen in 2025 and 5 trillion yen in 2030.
