TOKYO -- From chipmaking materials to energy, Japan this month launched efforts to identify critical imports from Russia and make contingency plans for potential disruptions to its supply chains as Moscow is expected to halt shipments in retaliation against economic sanctions.
Japanese imports from Russia totaled $10.7 billion in 2020. Though liquefied natural gas and nonferrous metals accounted for much of the shipments, items that account for a much smaller portion of the pie could still have major implications for Japanese industry.
