On the 21st, the government held a ministerial meeting to expand exports of agriculture, forestry and fishery products and foods, and summarized the export strategy for the next fiscal year and beyond.
This included the establishment of dedicated organizations centered on JETRO = Japan External Trade Organization and embassies in eight major cities in eight countries and regions, including the United States, EU, and China, by the next fiscal year.
This organization will hire people who are familiar with the local situation to investigate their needs and support the development of sales channels for businesses engaged in exports.
In addition, a bill to amend the law will be submitted at the ordinary session of the Diet next year with the policy of establishing a new system in which the government recognizes organizations established by producers and distributors to support promotion of each item of export and standardization of products. I am aiming for.
