Japan's retail and institutional foodservice sector

摘要

This is the fourth article about key issues analysed in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's series Subsistence to Supermarket II: Agrifood Globalisation and Asia. This article looks at the impact on Japan of globalisation of foodservice, and the rapid changes taking place in Japan's foodservice sector. It is drawn from Volume II: Changing Agrifood Distribution in Asia, released in August 2002. There are tremendous opportunities for Australian agrifood suppliers, including dairy, arising from the changes to Asia's foodservice sectors, particularly in Japan.
