FTA with Japan, China would hurt local fisheries sector : report

SEOUL, April 26 (Yonhap) — A free trade pact between South Korea, China and Japan could damage South Korea’s fisheries industry, a report said Wednesday.

A free trade agreement (FTA) with the neighboring countries could cause a minimum US$44 million deficit in South Korea’s fisheries trade, the state-run Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP) said.


A summary of the report, "Korea-China-Japan FTA and the Korean Fisheries", is available in English from KIEP at http://www.kiep.go.kr/eng/e_sub03/s...
