美国是日本绿茶的最大出口目的地，2021年对美出口额达103亿日元，同比增长22%。欧洲市场（特别是德国）以及台湾地区的需求同样强劲。过去十年间，日本绿茶出口额已增长至原先的4倍左右。

产品类型与消费趋势
Product Types and Consumption Trends
从产品形态来看，绿茶出口主要分为抹茶等粉末状产品和煎茶等茶叶类产品。对美国出口中，粉末产品占比高达73%（按数量计算）。星巴克等连锁咖啡店的"抹茶拿铁"等产品深受欧美年轻消费者喜爱。
In terms of product types, green tea exports are mainly divided into powdered products like matcha and leaf teas like sencha. Powdered products account for 73% of exports to the U.S. (by volume). Products like "Matcha Latte" at Starbucks and other chain coffee shops are particularly popular among young consumers in Europe and America.
日本农林水产省指出："在美国，以年轻人为代表的消费群体特别青睐不甜的茶饮。"而在欧洲，随着日本料理的普及，消费者接触绿茶的机会也越来越多。
The Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries notes: "In the U.S., younger consumers in particular favor unsweetened tea beverages." In Europe, as Japanese cuisine becomes more popular, consumers are encountering green tea more frequently.
亚洲市场的健康趋势

政府目标与行业挑战
Government Goals and Industry Challenges
日本政府制定了雄心勃勃的出口目标：计划到2025年将农林水产品和食品出口额比2021年增长60%，达到2万亿日元。其中绿茶被列为重点品类，目标设定为312亿日元（比2021年增长50%）。
The Japanese government has set ambitious export targets: by 2025, it plans to increase exports of agricultural, forestry and fishery products and foods by 60% compared to 2021, reaching ¥2 trillion. Green tea is listed as a key category, with a target of ¥31.2 billion (a 50% increase from 2021).
然而，欧美严格的农药残留标准成为主要挑战。为此，日本正积极推广有机栽培，获得有机JAS认证的绿茶产量在2019年达到3,644吨，是五年前的两倍。
However, strict pesticide residue standards in Europe and America pose major challenges. In response, Japan is actively promoting organic cultivation, with JAS-certified organic green tea production reaching 3,644 tons in 2019, double the amount five years earlier.
随着日本国内市场萎缩，开拓海外市场成为行业发展的关键。建立符合国际标准的生产体系需要政府和企业的通力合作。
With the shrinking domestic market in Japan, expanding overseas has become crucial for industry development. Establishing production systems that meet international standards requires close cooperation between government and businesses.
