FTA with Japan, China would hurt local fisheries sector: report

SEOUL, April 26 (Yonhap) -- A free trade pact between South Korea, China and Japan could damage South Korea's fisheries industry, a report said Wednesday.

A free trade agreement (FTA) with the neighboring countries could cause a minimum US$44 million deficit in South Korea's fisheries trade, the state-run Korea Institute for International Economic Policy (KIEP) said.
