Japan to help ASEAN chill out in food distribution

Guidelines will aim to bring strict temperature control to Southeast Asia

Buying cooked meals at convenience stores is becoming part of everyday life for many Asians.

TOKYO -- Japan's transport ministry will assist in the development of refrigerated-distribution networks in Southeast Asia to enable the region to meet growing demand for fresh foods, ultimately enhancing opportunities for Japanese businesses.

Transport ministers from Japan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' 10 members are to sign an agreement toward this end in Singapore this October.
