Homological mirror symmetry suggests that there should exist on the Fukaya category certain structures analogous to those known on the derived category of coherent sheaves. Given a Lagrangian fibration with focus-focus type singularities on a symplectic 4-fold $M$, I will describe how to associate geometrically an immersed Lagrangian correspondence from $M \times M$ to $M$; in the case of a generic elliptic K3, this correspondence yields an $A_\infty$ bi-functor on its Fukaya category, which is expected to give rise to a monoidal structure. This is partially based on joint work with Mohammed Abouzaid and Nathaniel Bottman.
