Japanese vehicle exports to Botswana to increase

The figure is expected to increase as consumers continue to shy away from buying new cars. A report by Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) says that from January to November, Japan exported cars worth $8.5 million to Botswana and busses and trucks valued at $4.6 million. During the same period, Botswana imported $124,000 worth of spare parts from Japan.

In a briefing recently, JETRO officials revealed that the transport sector takes the lion's share of exports by principal commodities to Botswana.
