This report is a complementary addition to the published 2020 Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional (HRI) food service report, and highlights the Tokyo-Yokohama metropolitan area. The Tokyo-Yokohama metropolitan area serves as an immense food distribution and logistics hub and encompasses food distribution channels to the food service and retail sectors that vary in complexity. These channels are vital in meeting Japan’s food consumption needs to approximately 35 million citizens. U.S. agricultural products will continue to be crucial in fulfilling Japanese consumption demands, particularly as consumers begin transitioning to a post-COVID-19 environment.
