In June, Japan imported a total of 62.54 million barrels of oil, with a staggering 96.3 percent, or 60.26 million barrels, sourced from Arab countries, according to data from the Agency of Natural Resources and Energy under Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. This significant reliance highlights the critical role of these nations in ensuring Japan's energy security.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were the top contributors, each supplying almost 41.3 percent of Japan's oil imports. Saudi Arabia provided 25.82 million barrels, while the UAE supplied a slightly higher volume at 25.84 million barrels. These two countries alone accounted for the majority of Japan’s oil needs, underscoring their strategic importance.
Other key Arab suppliers included Kuwait, contributing 5.21 million barrels (8.3 percent), Qatar with 2.44 million barrels (3.9 percent), and Oman, which supplied approximately half a million barrels (0.8 percent). Additionally, the Neutral Zone, a region shared between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, provided 0.7 percent of Japan’s oil imports.
Japan’s diversification efforts included smaller contributions from other regions, as the country maintained its ban on oil imports from Iran and Russia in June. The United States supplied 1.4 percent of the oil imports, Central and South America contributed 1.6 percent, Southeast Asia accounted for 0.5 percent, and Oceania provided 0.2 percent.
