SINGAPORE, Nov. 21 NNA - Junko Ishii (L), managing director of the Singapore Representative Office of the Japan External Trade Organization, and Roger Egan, CEO of RedMart, Singapore's major online food and grocery e-commerce site, shake hands at a press conference in Singapore to announce the launch of JETRO's Japanese food online shop on RedMart on Nov. 20, 2018.

SINGAPORE, NNA - The Japan External Trade Organization is promoting Japanese food exports by opening a shop on Singapore’s major online food and grocery store RedMart, the first “Japan Mall” on an overseas e-commerce site.
