- Category:Other
The minister said Japan's farm sector needs to "alter its structure so it can make profits abroad."
Japan plans to set up food export initiatives in eight countries and territories -- including the United States, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and the European Union -- by fiscal 2023.
Japan rolled out platforms in Los Angeles and New York in late April.
With the platforms, the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry aims to significantly boost exports of Japanese farm products and foodstuffs in partnership with Japanese diplomatic missions abroad as well as overseas offices of the government-backed Japan External Trade Organization.
In a meeting with Kaneko earlier Thursday, Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Chalermchai Sri-on said the talks "are a good opportunity to strengthen the agricultural relationship between Thailand and Japan."
With the two countries marking the 135 years of diplomatic ties this year, Mr Chalermchai hailed long-term bilateral, trilateral and international organization-level cooperation in the agriculture area, according to the Thai ministry.
