Mitsui, the trading company which arranged the cargo – the first between the two nations since 1968 – said a shipment of 5,000 tonnes of long-grain rice would leave the southern port of Yangon in May, bound for Nagoya. It added that Japan's agriculture ministry, which is the buyer, may sell the rice to domestic producers of beer, crackers and shochu, a distilled Japanese drink. http://link.ft.com/r/2SRI11/PNGTO1/A7P8KJ/FKZQ82/9MNPET/E4/h?a1=2013&a2=3&a3=26 Tools Your account    Portfolio Email Briefings    Price alerts Keyword alerts    RSS feeds Subscribe to FT.com     © THE FINANCIAL TIMES LTD 2013 ABOUT THIS EMAIL You have received this email because you have signed up from the NBE preference page.
