Japan supermarket group touts trade opportunities

Japanese retailers are looking at opportunities to penetrate the Philippine market and local firms should also take advantage of an upcoming window, an industry association said on Tuesday.

In a briefing, representatives of the New Supermarket Association of Japan (NSAJ) touted the mid-February staging of the 52nd Supermarket Trade Show in Japan next year where over 2,000 manufacturers are expected to show their wares at the Makuhari Messe convention center.
