NEW DELHI:
The Japanese companies are interested in investing in the food processing sector in India.

This was stated by the visiting parliamentary secretary of Japan Shigehiko Okuyama, when he called on the Union agriculture minister Ajit Singh in the capital on Thursday.

Shigehiko also offered to share Japan's experience in disaster management with India.

Shigehiko said that Japan is also looking for opportunities to export small tractors from Japan, which, he said, would be suitable for India because of its small land holdings.

The visiting secretary is attending the second Asian meeting of United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.
