韓国向けビール、わずか５８万円＝不買運動で激減－９月

　財務省が３０日に追加発表した９月の貿易統計によると、韓国向けのビール輸出額は５８万円と前年同月の７億８４８５万円に比べ激減した。８月（５００９万円）から前年実績を大きく下回っており、韓国内での日本製品の不買運動が影響した形だ。
　ビールの対韓輸出額は２０１８年１月以降、毎月３億～８億円台で推移していた。
　財務省は毎月中旬、前月の輸出入実績の速報を発表し、その後、品名ごとの詳細な実績を追加で公表している。７月に輸出管理が厳格化された半導体製造に使うフッ化水素は前年同月比９９．４％減の３７２万円だった。（2019/10/30-11:52）

Japan's beer exports to South Korea in September plummeted to only 580,000 yen from 784.85 million yen a year earlier, amid the two countries' spat over trade and history issues, Japanese data showed Wednesday.
   Beer exports slumped further from the August total of 5.09 million yen, indicating a spreading boycott of Japanese goods in South Korea, according to the Finance Ministry's additional trade data.
   Before the bilateral relations started to worsen rapidly this year, monthly beer exports to South Korea ranged roughly between 300 million yen and 800 million yen from January 2018.
   The new data also showed that exports of hydrogen fluoride, used in semiconductor production, to South Korea in September fell 99.4 pct to 3.72 million yen. The chemical is one of the three semiconductor materials affected by Japan's tightening of export controls against South Korea in July.
   According to the ministry's preliminary trade data released earlier this month, automobile exports to South Korea dropped 48.9 pct to 3,927 million yen in September.
