食品輸出拡大、重点２７品目決定　５兆円目標へ実行戦略―政府

　政府は３０日、農林水産物・食品の輸出拡大に向け、和牛を含む牛肉やホタテ、リンゴ、ブリなど２７品目を重点品目と決め、生産体制強化への集中支援を盛り込んだ実行戦略を策定した。品目別の輸出目標額に加え、狙いを定める国・地域も明記し、官民一体で２０３０年に輸出額を５兆円に引き上げる目標達成を目指す。
　３０日の関係閣僚会議で菅義偉首相は「国内の余剰を輸出する発想を転換し、生産、加工、流通、販売に関わる全ての事業者がマーケットの求めるものを作る発想に立つべく改革を行う」と述べた。
　実行戦略では当面２５年の輸出目標額を定め、海外で人気の高い牛肉を１９年実績の約５．４倍、１６００億円に拡大する。香港や台湾のほか、現在輸出解禁に向け交渉中の中国に照準を合わせた。輸出先の需要や安全基準を満たした商品を低コストで大量供給できる体制を整える。（2020/11/30-20:56）

The Japanese government adopted a strategy on Monday to boost exports of food products, as well as agricultural and fishery goods, in order to meet its goal of expanding such exports to 5 trillion yen in 2030.
   Under the strategy, 27 items including beef, scallops, apples and yellowtail are designated for intensive production support.
   "We'll conduct reform to shift from the stance of exporting redundant products to the standpoint that everyone engaged in production, processing, distribution and sales should commit to what the markets demand," Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said at a meeting of related ministers on the day.
   The strategy includes item-by-item export targets for 2025, with the target on beef exports set at 160 billion yen, up about 5.4-fold from 2019. Demand for Japanese beef is expected from China, with which Japan is negotiating to start shipments.
   To achieve the 2025 targets, the government plans to select some areas producing the designated food items for technical, financial and other support.
