TOKYO, Dec 13: The Japanese government has decided to expand tariff cuts on agricultural imports from developing nations under a scheme designed to assist their economic growth, a farm ministry official said on Friday.
Japan, the world’s biggest agricultural importer, currently gives preferential lower tariff treatment or imposes no tariffs on 209 agricultural products from 149 developing nations.
It plans to add an additional 118 agricultural products to that category, the official said.—AFP
