♯9 About TPP

 Hi,everyone! A Happy New Year!! I will introduce TPP. Do you know TPP? TPP is abbreviation of Trans-Pacific Partnership. It is the approach which abolishes customs of all items.Japanese government promotes TPP,but farmer's cooperative and fishman's cooperative holds demonstrations all over Japan.

I will introduce advantages and disadvantages od TPP. One of advantages is that price of goods will fall because of competition of foreign countries.Especially,the price of vegetables and fishes in foreign countries such as China or America is very low compared with Japanese.Other advantage is that it is easy hor export companies to expand business overseas.
On the other hand,one od disadvantages is that farming and fishing in Japan may be stagnant.
This will aggravate employment in farming and fishing.Finally, Japanese economy may be slump.
I think Japan should not join TPP. I have two reasons for this.First, situation in Japan is appreciation of yen. In this situation, if Japan joins TPP,export companies should acclerate overseas advance.
It will lead to hollowing of industry.
