九州大学で僕が日本の経済入門を勉強しています。そして、先週、博多で皆さんは福岡商工会議所に福岡の貿易ついての恵贈を呈されました。教育的で、面白かったと思います。委員会の市会議員によると、今、福岡県は日本の五番高い国内総生産があります。
今年、福岡県の一番大きな貿易部門なのはサービス業である。
サービス業は国内総生産の３４．５％を占めています。卸売業は国内総生産の２５％を占めています。運輸電気通信は１５％を占めています。
えいよ雑多な実業を占めています。福岡は一番高い新興企業の数があります。全部の新興企業の４．１％は福岡から来ます。福岡の後、札幌が甲で、仙台が乙で、横浜が丙です。外国貿易は福岡県の輸出の総数が２１６８十億円、１，６３７十億円（７６％）は博多港経由で行きました。５３１十億円（２４％）は福岡空港経由で行きました。
輸入の総数は１．２２２十億円です。８５５十億円「７０％」は博多港経由で来ました。そして、３６７十億円「３０％」は福岡空港経由できました。恵贈によると、主要な英国からの輸入は医薬品（例えば、GSK）と化粧品（例えば、LUSH Cosmetics）と色々な自動車です。

As part of my course at Kyushu University, I am studying a module called ‘Introduction to Japanese Economy’, and last week we had a class trip to a presentation in Hakata hosted by the Fukuoka Chamber of Commerce and Industry about the general trade which takes place in Fukuoka Prefecture. I found the presentation very interesting and it gave me a good insight into some of Japan’s methods of trade and economic principles.
According to one of the councillors on the committee, Fukuoka City currently has the fifth-highest GDP in Japan. This year, Fukuoka’s largest trade sector is predicted to be service industry which makes up 34.5% of the GDP, followed by wholesale and retail trade which makes up 25.5% and transportation/telecommunications, which makes up 15.1% of Fukuoka City’s GDP. The remainder is made up of other goods and services such as the financial and construction industries.
Fukuoka has the highest level of business start-ups out of any prefecture in Japan with 4.1% of new businesses coming from Fukuoka, closely followed by Sapporo, Sendai and Yokohama. In terms of foreign trade, the total exports of Fukuoka Prefecture were worth a total of ¥2,168 billion. ¥1,637 billion (76%) was via Hakata Port and ¥531 billion (24%) via Fukuoka Airport. The total imports of Fukuoka Prefecture were ¥1,222 billion. ¥855 billion (70%) was via Hakata Port and ¥367 billion (30%) of this was via Fukuoka Airport. According to their presentation, the main imports from the UK to Fukuoka were pharmaceuticals, such as those from Glaxosmithkline, and cosmetics such as Lush Cosmetics, as well as some vehicle and car parts. In total, we will have three future excursions as part of the course, the next two should focus more about Japan’s economy as a whole, and I believe the final one will focus on local production of Kyushu, the southernmost island of Japan.
