Revised Indonesia–Japan Economic Partnership Agreement set to boost US$80 million seafood trade and reshape regional tuna markets

Japan and Indonesia are moving closer to implementing the revised Indonesia–Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA), a move expected to significantly enhance bilateral seafood trade and strengthen Indonesia’s position in the Japanese market. Once the revised agreement officially enters into force, Japan will immediately eliminate import tariffs on selected cooked and processed Indonesian tuna and bonito products, covering an estimated US$80 million in annual trade.

The revised IJEPA protocol was formally signed in August 2024 in Jakarta, reflecting both governments’ commitment to deepening economic cooperation. According to officials from Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), the agreement has already been approved by the Japanese Diet. It will take effect once Indonesia completes its remaining domestic ratification procedures, a process that is currently in its final stages. While no exact implementation date has been announced, both sides have indicated that entry into force is expected soon.

Under the revised agreement, 11 categories of Indonesian seafood products will qualify for immediate tariff elimination. These products mainly include canned tuna, canned bonito, dried bonito (katsuobushi), and various cooked and processed tuna and bonito items. At present, these products face Japanese import tariffs ranging from 6.4% to 7.2%, which will be reduced to 0% once the agreement takes effect.

Trade statistics underscore the growing importance of Indonesian seafood in Japan. In 2024, Japan imported approximately 12,500 tons of the 11 eligible product categories from Indonesia, with a total value of around US$73 million. During the first 11 months of 2025, imports had already climbed to 13,651 tons, valued at about US$78 million, surpassing the full-year 2024 figures even before tariff elimination. This trend highlights the steady expansion of Indonesian tuna and bonito products in the Japanese market.

The agreement also introduces sustainability and compliance conditions. For dried bonito and certain cooked tuna and bonito products, tariff-free treatment will apply only to goods certified by the Indonesian government and produced from fish with a body length of at least 30 centimeters, a measure aimed at supporting responsible fisheries management and preventing the harvesting of juvenile fish.

From a market perspective, Indonesia is currently Japan’s second-largest supplier of canned tuna and canned bonito, trailing only Thailand. Conversely, Japan is Indonesia’s second-largest export destination for cooked and canned tuna and bonito products, after Saudi Arabia. This reciprocal dependence underscores the strategic importance of the revised IJEPA for both countries.

The Indonesian Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries has confirmed that it is preparing exporters and processors for the transition to zero tariffs. The ministry plans to issue detailed operational guidelines outlining certification, traceability, and registration requirements. Exporting companies and seafood processing plants will be required to register with the ministry in advance to qualify for 0% tariff treatment once the agreement is in force.

According to official Indonesian data, exports of canned tuna and other processed seafood to Japan have recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.82%, outperforming competitors such as Thailand and the Philippines over the same period. Analysts note that the elimination of tariffs under the revised IJEPA is likely to further lower costs, enhance price competitiveness, and accelerate Indonesia’s market share gains in Japan.

Industry observers expect the agreement to have a lasting impact on Japan’s tuna import structure, potentially increasing reliance on Indonesian processed products while intensifying competition for domestic processors and other foreign suppliers. In the broader context, the revised IJEPA is seen as part of Japan’s strategy to secure stable seafood supplies and Indonesia’s push to move up the value chain in global fisheries trade.


 日本、インドネシア産マグロ製品の輸入関税を撤廃へ

改定された日・インドネシア経済連携協定(IJEPA)8,000万米ドル規模の水産物貿易を押し上げ、地域のマグロ市場を再編

日本インドネシアは、改定された日・インドネシア経済連携協定(IJEPA)の発効に向けた最終段階に入っている。協定が正式に発効すれば、日本は特定のインドネシア産の加熱・加工マグロおよびカツオ製品に対する輸入関税を即時撤廃する。これにより、年間で推定8,000万米ドル規模の水産物貿易が対象となる。

改定IJEPAの議定書は2024年8月ジャカルタで正式に署名された。これは、両国政府が経済協力の深化に強い意欲を示していることを反映している。日本の農林水産省(MAFF)によると、同協定はすでに日本の国会で承認されており、インドネシア側が国内手続きを完了次第、正式に発効する見通しだ。具体的な発効時期は未定だが、近く実現するとみられている。

改定協定の下では、インドネシア産水産物11品目が即時の関税撤廃の対象となる。主な対象は、ツナ缶(マグロ缶詰)カツオ缶詰削り節(かつおぶし)、および各種の加熱・加工マグロ・カツオ製品である。現在、これらの製品には日本市場で**6.4%~7.2%の輸入関税が課されているが、協定発効後は0%**となる。

貿易統計からは、日本市場におけるインドネシア産水産物の存在感が着実に高まっていることが分かる。2024年には、日本はインドネシアから対象11品目について約12,500トンを輸入し、輸入額は約7,300万米ドルに達した。2025年の最初の11カ月間では、輸入量はすでに13,651トン、輸入額は約7,800万米ドルとなり、関税撤廃前にもかかわらず2024年通年の水準を上回った。これは、日本市場におけるインドネシア産マグロ・カツオ製品の継続的な拡大を示している。

また、協定には持続可能性と遵守要件も盛り込まれている。削り節および一部の加熱マグロ・カツオ製品については、インドネシア政府の認証を受け、かつ体長30センチメートル未満のカツオを原料としていない製品のみが即時の関税撤廃の対象となる。これは、資源管理の強化や未成魚の漁獲防止を目的とした措置である。

市場構造を見ると、インドネシアは現在、日本にとってカツオ・マグロ缶詰の第2位の供給国であり、首位はタイである。一方、日本は、インドネシアにとって加熱・缶詰マグロ・カツオ製品の第2位の輸出先で、サウジアラビアに次ぐ位置にある。この相互依存関係は、改定IJEPAの戦略的重要性を浮き彫りにしている。

インドネシア海洋水産省は、関税ゼロへの移行に向けて輸出業者や加工業者の準備を進めていると明らかにした。同省は、認証、トレーサビリティ、登録手続きに関する運用ガイドラインを発行する予定で、輸出企業や水産加工工場は、協定発効後に0%関税の適用を受けるため、事前に同省への登録が必要となる。

インドネシア政府の公式データによると、日本向けのマグロ缶詰およびその他の加工水産物輸出は、年平均成長率(CAGR)13.82%を記録しており、同期間のタイフィリピンを上回っている。専門家は、改定IJEPAによる関税撤廃が、コスト削減と価格競争力の向上をもたらし、日本市場におけるインドネシア製品のシェア拡大をさらに加速させると指摘する。

業界関係者は、この協定が日本のマグロ輸入構造に長期的な影響を与え、インドネシア産加工品への依存度を高める一方で、日本国内の加工業者や他の海外供給国との競争を一層激化させる可能性があるとみている。より広い視点では、改定IJEPAは、日本にとっては安定的な水産物供給の確保、インドネシアにとっては世界の水産物貿易における付加価値向上を目指す戦略の一環と位置付けられている。


 日本将取消对印尼金枪鱼产品的进口关税

修订后的*《印尼—日本经济伙伴关系协定》(IJEPA)有望推动约8000万美元**的水产品贸易,并重塑区域金枪鱼市场格局*

日本印度尼西亚正加快推进修订后的**《印尼—日本经济伙伴关系协定》(IJEPA)生效进程。一旦协定正式实施,日本将立即取消对部分印尼产熟制及加工金枪鱼和鲣鱼产品的进口关税,涉及年度贸易规模约8000万美元**。

修订版IJEPA议定书已于2024年8月雅加达正式签署,体现了两国政府深化经贸合作的共同意愿。根据日本农林水产省(MAFF)披露的信息,该协定已获得日本国会批准,待印尼方面完成相应的国内程序后即可正式生效。目前具体生效时间尚未公布,但双方均表示相关程序已进入最后阶段。

按照修订后的协定安排,共有11类印尼水产品将在协定生效后立即享受零关税待遇,主要包括金枪鱼罐头鲣鱼罐头鲣鱼干(木鱼花、柴鱼片,katsuobushi)以及多种熟制和加工金枪鱼、鲣鱼产品。目前,这些产品在日本市场需缴纳6.4%至7.2%不等的进口关税,协定生效后关税税率将降至0%

贸易数据显示,印尼水产品在日本市场的份额正稳步扩大。2024年,日本自印尼进口上述11类产品约1.25万吨,进口金额约7300万美元。而在2025年前11个月,进口量已增至1.3651万吨,进口金额约7800万美元,在关税尚未取消的情况下已超过2024年全年水平,显示出印尼金枪鱼和鲣鱼产品在日本市场的持续增长势头。

与此同时,协定还对部分产品设定了可持续发展与合规条件。其中,鲣鱼干及部分熟制金枪鱼和鲣鱼产品,只有在获得印尼政府认证、且未使用体长小于30厘米的鲣鱼作为原料的情况下,才能适用即刻取消关税的安排。这一规定旨在加强渔业资源管理,防止幼鱼捕捞。

从市场结构看,印尼目前是日本金枪鱼和鲣鱼罐头的第二大供应国,仅次于泰国;同时,日本也是印尼熟制及罐装金枪鱼和鲣鱼产品的第二大出口市场,位列沙特阿拉伯之后。这种双向依赖关系凸显了修订版IJEPA的战略意义。

印尼海洋与渔业部表示,正积极为企业适应零关税环境做准备,并将发布操作性指南,明确享受零关税所需的认证、溯源和注册流程。相关出口企业及水产加工厂需提前在该部门完成登记,方可在协定生效后申请0%关税待遇。

印尼官方数据显示,其对日本出口的金枪鱼罐头及其他加工水产品年均复合增长率(CAGR)达13.82%,高于同期泰国菲律宾的水平。业内人士分析认为,随着修订版IJEPA生效并取消关税,印尼金枪鱼产品在日本市场的成本结构和价格竞争力将显著改善,市场份额有望进一步扩大。

行业观察人士指出,该协定预计将对日本金枪鱼进口结构产生长期影响,可能提高对印尼加工产品的依赖度,同时加剧日本国内加工企业与其他海外供应国之间的竞争。从更宏观的角度看,修订版IJEPA既是日本确保稳定水产品供应的重要举措,也是印尼推动水产品出口向更高附加值方向发展的关键一步。
