Japan Launches $10 Billion African Trade Fund

The launch of the Japan-Africa partnership programme on Wednesday in Kenya's capital would see Japan pour $10mn into develop Africa's agriculture, fishery and forestry sectors, a minister said.
Japanese agriculture, fishery and forestry minister, Shoichi Nakigawa, said the funding would be released over a three year period.
Japan would post 10 000 experts to study and eliminate trade barriers between developing countries and the global market. Assistance would also be given to support production and processing for agriculture, fishery and forestry products.
The Asian country would further allow Sub-Saharan countries to access its markets more easily by allowing duty-free and quota-free access for products from Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
