Japan Pushes for Philippine Import of Popular Shine Muscat Grapes
Japanese Agriculture Minister Shinjiro Koizumi recently visited Manila, where he met with his Philippine counterpart, Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. The meeting focused on potential imports of Japanese grapes, including the popular Shine Muscat variety. Koizumi requested the Philippines to begin importing these grapes, and Laurel Jr. showed a positive response to holding technical talks for the same.
Koizumi's request comes after discussions involving Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr., who is likely playing a role in regulatory decisions or advocacy regarding potential import restrictions on Japanese Shine Muscat grapes. The Japanese minister expressed his hope that the Philippines would start importing these grapes, highlighting their quality and popularity. During the meeting, both ministers agreed that technical discussions would be held to facilitate this process.
Following the meeting, it is expected that the Philippines will consider importing Japanese grapes, with Shine Muscat being a key variety. Technical talks will be held to discuss and address any potential regulatory hurdles. This move could potentially open up new markets for Japanese agriculture and strengthen bilateral relations between Japan and the Philippines.
