Discover the 2025 One Village One Product Market

The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) proudly presents the 2025 One Village One Product Market, a special event set to take place on November 8-9, 2025 at KITTE, conveniently located just a minute's walk from Tokyo Station. This unique showcase gathers a wide array of merchandise, processed foods, and handicrafts from 52 developing countries, including various regions of Africa and Asia.

Highlights of This Year's Event

This year brings an exciting new feature: a dedicated corner displaying items from countries participating in the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo. Selected popular items that generated buzz at the expo will also be available at KITTE. In addition, the market will offer a rich selection of fair trade products and traditional crafts that have been well-received in stores at Narita and Kansai airports.

The theme for the event encourages attendees to see, touch, buy, and connect with the world over this two-day extravaganza. Attendees can also participate in a lottery for a chance to win fantastic fair trade prizes, exclusively for buyers.

What is the One Village One Product Market?

The One Village One Product Market operates under the auspices of JETRO and aligns with the One Village One Product Movement, jointly promoted with Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. This initiative serves as a bridge connecting Japan with developing countries in Asia and Africa, showcasing locally-made products that reflect the pride and craftsmanship of their communities. By presenting these goods, the market supports the local artisans and entrepreneurs, encouraging self-reliance and sustainable development.

Furthermore, the market serves as a link between producers and workers in developing nations and consumers in Japan, contributing to the achievement of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in these regions.
