Japan Economy Government-industry cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a comparatively small defence allocation (1% of GDP) have helped Japan advance with extraordinary rapidity to the rank of second most technologically powerful economy in the world after the US and third largest economy in the world after the US and China. One notable characteristic of the economy is the working together of manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors in closely-knit groups called keiretsu.

17. Japan with respect to imports of Fruit Juices Japanese fruit production was devoted to the fresh market. Only surplus or unsalable fresh produce was used for juice production, which led to an expensive and unstable supply. This combination of high prices and low consumer purchasing power forced producers to rely on low percentage drinks. The Japanese market for fruit juice drinks expanded rapidly in the 1970s. Non-citrus juice import restrictions for apple, grape and pineapple juices were liberalized in April 1990, followed by more permissive rules for citrus juice imports in April 1992. An abundant, lower priced juice supply and an increase in consumer purchasing power have led to a major market shift away from low percentage juice drinks to 100-percent real fruit juice.
18. Orange Juice Leads Citrus Juice Imports Grapefruit juice is only 7 percent of fruit juice market in Japan Lemon juice imports totaled 7,987 kiloliters in 2007 Apple Gains in Non-Citrus Juices. Opportunities exist for finished products, but there are several considerations: Japanese buyers are very sensitive about freshness; sizes are smaller in Japan; and a large emphasis is placed on packaging.

Even government officials have high regards for the association. So when the association lends its logo to any product, the product is accepted by them to deliver the nutritional contents as claimed by the manufacturer.

31. Laws and Regulations for export to Japan The importation of fruit juices to Japan is subject to the provisions of the Food Sanitation Law. To import fruit juices, the importer must submit a "Notification Form for Importation of Foods, etc." to the Plant Quarantine Service Office at the port of entry. The juices must then be examined either directly or indirectly through accompanying documents. The juices may also be examined in advance at a Japanese or overseas inspection organization authorized by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare. The results of these examinations will be treated in the same way as examinations by the port Plant Quarantine Service Office. This option helps expedite import and customs procedures.

34. Real fruit juices are pasteurized and immediately vacuum packed to preserve quality and vitamin content for 12 months. As we use the TetraPak packaging process we are able to meet global standards of quality and presentation. Our packaging stands out on the retail shelf and once tasted we are certain that you will come back again and again. Real fruit juices are a unique blend of flavors carefully balanced for the discerning palate and this sets us apart in the marketplace.
35. All flavours are available in both 1 ltr and 250 ml sizes. Our 1 ltr packaging has a re-cap for easy closing after first use whilst the 250 ml size comes with a drinking straw attached.
36. PRICE The 250 ml pack would be prices at 20 yen. The 1 ltr pack would be priced at 90 yen.
37. PACKAGING Real fruit juices are packed as a ready-to-drink fruit juice in a long-life aseptic package using TetraPak packaging material and their global standard packaging process. TetraPak construction and presentation meets world standards of hygiene and consumer appeal. The product does not need refrigeration during the shelf life of 1 year from production to first use. This is due to the pasteurisation and immediate vacuum packing process in a closed-loop hygenic environment.
38. Our 1 ltr products are packed 12 in a case and our 250 ml products are packed 24 in a case. Each case is then shrink wrapped. A 1 ltr case weighs approx 13kgs and a 250 ml case weighs approx 7kgs.
39. Fruit juice in Tetra pack is the ideal way to export our fine fruit juices to the Global Marketplace and we do this by the full 20ft container load. We palletize and load very carefully using specialized methods that protect the load even on the high seas. We load 10 shrink wrapped pallets each containing : 162 cases each containing 12x 1 ltrTetrapacks thus giving approx 19440 ltrs per 20ft container loaded to a maximum weight of 22 tons
41. Japanese Importer for Dabur For supplying the Real Fruit Juices to Japan, Dabur would select the way of direct export to the country. This would be done through shipping method to the importer present there. M/S. Beauty World Limited. Ms. Michiyo Kobayashi-President Tel : 045-5051588 Fax : 045-5051588
42. Japanese retail outlets are considerably smaller than those in the United States. Limited shelving requires frequent restocking. In turn, retailers demand frequent deliveries from distributors who serve as mini warehouses for the stores. These distributors typically carry a narrow range of products, but service all stores in a given area. The direct distributor will be supplied by a large manufacturer or wholesaler. Distribution Is Key to Success As a juice exporter, there are two approaches to distribution: finding a partner to feed products into this decentralized distribution system or bypassing this unwieldy system to approach a major chain directly. Two finished product markets are very difficult for outsiders to access - food service and vending machines. Food service markets that sell high-quality juices through hotels and restaurants make up about 4 percent of the retail market. The vending machine market is comprised largely of the 10-40-percent juice variety, but 100-percent juice products are making inroads into the machines as prices drop. Most of the vending machines are controlled by the major beverage makers.
