"What's Next for U.S.-Japan Trade?" ft. Wendy Cutler

There are more than 120 Nebraska companies actively involved in trade with Japan. Nebraska established its first international office in the country, the Nebraska Center Japan, in 2006, which serves as the primary contact point for Japanese companies seeking business opportunities in the state. In 2024, Nebraska exports to Japan totaled almost $700 million, with the country being Nebraska’s fourth-largest export market, the number one destination for pork and eggs, and the state’s second-leading foreign buyer of beef and corn. Japan is also Nebraska’s largest foreign direct investor, investing more than $4.4 billion since 2010. The Yeutter Institute hosted Mike Boyle, President at Kawasaki Motors Mfg. Corp., and Wendy Cutler, Senior VP, Asia Society Policy Institute, to discuss the future of U.S.-Japan trade.
