Mexico and Japan have agreed on a work plan to enhance investment in the fishing industry, focusing on scallop shelling in Ensenada, Baja California. This collaboration, announced after a meeting between Mexican and Japanese agricultural officials during a trade mission in Japan, aims to connect Japanese fishermen's cooperative companies with Mexican processors for Hokkaido scallops, targeting the luxury market in the U.S. west coast. The initiative seeks to integrate Mexico into Japan's supply chain, leveraging its strategic location and connectivity, and is expected to create jobs, services, and supplies in Ensenada, underscoring the strong trade and cultural relationship between the two nations.
