U.S. abolishes import restrictions Make it possible to export rice from Fukushima Prefecture

The US government has announced that it has lifted restrictions on Japanese food imports, including Fukushima Prefecture, which had continued since the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, on the 22nd of Japan time.

With this measure, it will be possible to export rice from Fukushima prefecture and log shiitake mushrooms from Tochigi and Ibaraki prefectures, which had been regulated.
