Aug 20, 2024, 06:18 AM

Japan is increasing efforts to enhance its seafood exports to new markets in Asia, the US, and Europe following a year-long import ban by China. The Japan External Trade Organization is spearheading these promotional activities to address the sales gap caused by the ban. Earlier this year, 50 Chinese trawlers were reported fishing off the coast of Tohoku, including Fukushima, raising questions about the effectiveness of China's seafood ban on Japan. The situation highlights ongoing tensions and economic challenges between the two nations.
