Kanematsu Corp., Japan’s largest importer of food soybeans, plans to boost sales of the oilseed by 67 percent in three years as it expands crop supply contracts in Canada and widens shipments to Europe and Asia. Sales of non-genetically modified soybeans will gain to 200,000 metric tons in 2012 from 120,000 tons this year to meet demand in countries including Japan, South Korea and Spain, Katsumi Morita, general manager at Kanematsu’s grain & oilseed department, said in an interview.
