Japan's Agriculture Minister announced that China has agreed to lift a two-year ban on Japanese seafood imports, initially imposed because of concerns over wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The decision comes after a Beijing meeting, with exports set to begin following necessary procedures by China. The agreement hinges on China's involvement in water sampling by the International Atomic Energy Agency and mandates Japan to register fishery processing facilities and certify seafood free from radioactivity, particularly caesium-137. An official announcement from China regarding the resumption of imports is anticipated soon.
"The agreement calls on Japan to register fishery processing facilities with the Chinese authorities, requiring inspection and certification of seafood to confirm absence of radioactive substances."
