Mexico To Export Poultry To Japan
 

The President of the National Farmers Confederation Heladio Ramirez, indicated that Mexico will export 3,000 MT of poultry meat to Japan during 2004.

According to Ramirez, with this new trade agreement, it is urgent that the Mexican Government support producers by investing in the agricultural sector. This is done in a bid to train them and to increase the level of infrastructure.

During a meeting with the President of the Agricultural Committee of the Lower House, the need to take advantage of the trade opportunities with Japan was discussed, since Mexico imports about 70 percent of its food products.
