Distribution of Agricultural Products and Food

Exports of Japanese agricultural products and foods are on the rise with the decline of the domestic population and the growing overseas popularity of Japanese food and drink. Atsumi & Sakai provides support for international business expansion for a wide range of producers by representing them in the creation of overseas export bases and concluding sales agency agreements with foreign trading companies.

 

We also advise on rights related to local wholesale markets in Japan.

 

When advising foreign clients, our firm can field a team of expert Japanese lawyers and foreign lawyers who have relevant experience and bi-cultural sensitivity. Our team can do business and draft documents in Japanese, English, German, Mandarin, Hindi, Korean, and Marathi, and provides services around the clock through our global affiliated offices.
