TOKYO, Dec. 3 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 3rd Dec, 2021 ) --:The export value of Japan's agriculture, forestry and seafood products logged the largest ever monthly increase of 14.9 percent in October boosted by the robust shipment to the United States and China, local media reported on Friday.

Dollars), according to the agricultural ministry.

In addition, the sales between January and October totaled 973.4 billion yen (8.6 billion U.S. dollars), up 28 percent year-on-year with strong sales of beef and sake.
