Singapore keeps curbs in place on Fukushima ag imports
This is despite the authority having announced a review on easing curbs in January last year, and Japan's repeated insistence that its strict food safety standards already exceed international requirements.
Japan's reconstruction minister, Masahiro Imamura, stressed that "Last year, no rice, vegetables and fruits, livestock products, cultivated mushrooms, or seafood products grown in Fukushima prefecture were detected to have exceeded standard limits."
"It is irrational to restrict the import of Japanese food products that are sold on the market, which have passed very strict inspection," he said. "We would like the authorities in each country and region to see these scientific and objective facts."
