The 2009 Import and Export Market for Bran, Sharps, and Other Residues Derived from Sifting, Milling or Other Working of Rice in Japan

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on bran, sharps, and other residues derived from sifting, milling or other working of rice in Japan face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying bran, sharps, and other residues derived from sifting, milling or other working of rice to Japan? How important is Japan compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of bran, sharps, and other residues derived from sifting, milling or other working of rice vary from one country of origin to another in Japan? On the supply side, Japan also exports bran, sharps, and other residues derived from sifting, milling or other working of rice. Which countries receive the most exports from Japan? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for bran, sharps, and other residues derived from sifting, milling or other working of rice in Japan. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for bran, sharps, and other residues derived from sifting, milling or other working of rice for those countries serving Japan via exports, or supplying from Japan via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
