There are now approximately fifty cooperators active in the Japanese market.<\/p>\n<p>Japan is the perfect example of how the partnership between USDA and cooperators has been one of the most successful public-private partnerships in the United States, facilitating billions of dollars in U.S. agricultural exports and creating millions of jobs. Today, Japan is largest commercial market for U.S. feed grains, pork, wheat, potatoes and rice, and will return to being the largest market for beef. It is also the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s largest net importer of consumer-ready food products. Japan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s purchases have been essential contributors to the health of the U.S. economy and will continue to be critical for U.S. agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Partners in Agriculture,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.partners-in-agriculture.org\">www.partners-in-agriculture.org<\/a>.
