Other ConsulatesWelcome to the Consulate's Economic and Commercial Section Home Page. We hope you will use the information here as one of your basic tools in considering business and trading activities in western Japan's Kyushu-Yamaguchi region. We offer a variety of state-of-the-art programs and services designed to assist American firms in increasing their market presence in the region and to assist Japanese firms in locating American sources for their import needs.
The Economic and Commercial Section works closely with the Department of Commerce in supporting American companies wishing to export to Japan. We also coordinate with the Department of Agriculture in supporting American food and agricultural products promotion in the region. We maintain extensive key contacts with Japanese local and regional governments, business, and economic organizations so that we can assist individual American companies and to coordinate American import promotion activities. We also monitor general economic conditions in the region.
Our services include:
- Providing counseling to American business travelers, U.S. firms in Japan, and Japanese companies wishing to import from the United States
- Assisting (as appropriate) in arranging appointments for visiting American exporters, organizing and supporting selected trade events, and assisting American firms in registering for these events
- Publicizing American fairs of significance to Japanese importers
- Providing space (when available) for small company-organized trade shows or seminars
We also work closely with the Fukuoka American Business Club (FABC) in a variety of business and community projects designed to assist American businesses and their employees from overseas. Please contact the Consulate about FABC and its activities.

Commercial Prospects and Recent Commercial Activity
American Consulate Fukuoka believes that particularly good prospects for U.S. businesses in the Kyushu-Yamaguchi region include construction and design, retail and apparel, food and processed food products including wine, electronics and computers, and 2x4 housing. American architectural design firms have made impressive contributions to the modern skyline of Fukuoka, and American airport and rail station designs can be found throughout Kyushu. Additionally, major Kyushu construction and design companies often approach the Consulate for assistance in linking up with major American companies for direct business ties. Regional retail marketing leaders also regularly approach us for assistance in contacting American sources for consumer products and for regional "American Fairs".
