Japan provides seafood exporters emergency relief after China responds to Fukushima water release with ban
Fox News
The prime minister of Japan announced that its seafood exporters will receive emergency funding following China’s ban on all seafood imports in response to the Fukushima water release.
Chinese trade restrictions have affected Japanese seafood exporters since even before the release began, with shipments held up at Chinese customs for weeks. Prices of scallops, sea cucumbers and other seafood popular in China have plunged. The ban has affected prices and sales of seafood from places as far away from Fukushima as the northern island of Hokkaido, home to many scallop growers.
