Rooorvo Qrand Champion Cow-Calf: Japan’s Demand For Convenience Food Helps Maryland ANNAPOLIS, Md. Mary land Secretary of Agriculture Ro bert L. Walker sees a growing de mand for convenience food in Ja pan as a real opportunity for Maryland food businesses. Mary land produces many ready-to-eat and easy-to-prepare food products that the Japanese are now embrac ing. “1 think there is tremendous growth potential in the Japanese market for Maryland food com panies. They want what we pro duce. We are making excellent progress in getting into the Japan ese market, and I think the amount of our exports will continue to ex pand," Walker said. In recent months Maryland firms have sent wine; live and frozen soft shell crabs; crab soups, cakes and nuggets; clams, clam soups and juices; spices; and froz en whole chickens and portions to JLj*J Uml For Now OomtiueMan EiMng Hearn Greanhoueee And Peels UL LISTED ALL STAINLESS STEEL CONSTRUCTION Uncawir Frmlnfl, Saturday, Howwayia, iw-05 Skyway Hills Amanda Exhibitor Scon Updike.

In the spring Walker met with a group of Japanese busi nessmen at an international food show where they expressed strong, interest in purchasing more Mary land food products. “It takes a lot of hard work to get into the Japanese market, but once the contacts are made the po tential for rewards is great I look for the Japanese to look increas ingly to Western style conven ience food products to keep up with their busy lifestyles,” said Walker. According to the Foreign Agri cultural Service of the U.S. De partment of Agriculture, sales of precooked takeout food in Japan totaled $40.9 billion in 1991, and are expected to reach $95.2 billion by the year 2000. They suggest that as more Japanese eat on the run, U.S. food producers give ser ious consideration to this expand ing market.
