Japan offers excellent export opportunities
With a population of 127 million and the fourth-largest economy in the world, Japan is an economic powerhouse. Japan has a robust manufacturing sector that is strong across the board, with specialized strength in shipbuilding, food processing, chemicals and motor vehicles, among other types of products. Japan was the fourth-largest export market for Wisconsin goods in 2016. Its top import categories are food, textiles, fossil fuels, chemicals, machinery, and raw materials for industry.
