 Last week, Japan’s Minister for Agriculture welcomed Hong Kong’s decision to partially lift a ban on food imports from five prefectures imposed after the 2011 Fukushima crisis.
 
“We are very grateful that there has been a relaxation on the restrictions on imports,” Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Ken Saito told reporters at Hong Kong’s annual Food Expo, referring to the decision made in late July. “We will continue with the necessary work to lift the food ban on Fukushima.”
 
Imports of foods including vegetables, fruit, milk, milk-based beverages and formula from Ibaraki, Tochigi, Chiba and Gunma can resume as long as an exporter certificate is provided, as well as a certificate attesting that their radiation levels comply with the guidelines.
 
But the import ban on food from Fukushima Prefecture, where the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant suffered a triple core meltdown, remains in place.
