apan’s seafood exports are facing increased scrutiny and, in some cases, outright bans as importing countries reckon with the release of treated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear incident, although analysts expect the economic impact on Japan to be minimal.
Japan began the discharge of more than 1 million cubic tons of treated radioactive water from the plant operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company on Thursday, prompting China to announce an immediate blanket ban on all aquatic products from Japan.
China has said the ban was prompted by concerns about the "risk of radioactive contamination" from the release of the wastewater into the sea.
More than 700 Japanese food exporters have been affected by China's ban, according to a report by market research firm Teikoku Databank released on Friday.
