The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industries (METI) is going to organize a joint business mission with delegates of major private sector players to Latin America in order to sell Japanese satellite products for earth observation as well as communications and broadcasting. The mission will visit Brazil, Argentina and Peru for two weeks starting August 23. Its private sector members include NEC, IHI, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries joined by Fujitsu, Hitachi, Mitsubishi Corporation and JAXA.
Brazil and Argentina have potential market needs of satellite use for forest watching, agricultural management and harvest forecasting. Brazil, in particular, is going to start full-fledged development of radar-equipped satellite for all weather observation where Japanese side can appeal with their expertise.
