Hong Kong has banned Japanese seafood from Fukushima and nine other prefectures.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced on Monday a 20.7 billion yen emergency fund to help exporters hit by a ban on Japanese seafood imposed by China in response to the release of treated radioactive wastewater from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Kishida said the emergency fund is in addition to 80 billion yen that the government previously allocated to support fisheries and seafood processing and combat damage to the reputation of Japanese products. Officials said they plan to cultivate new export destinations in Taiwan, the United States, Europe, the Middle East and some southeast Asian countries — such as Malaysia and Singapore.
Large amounts of radioactive wastewater have accumulated at the Fukushima plant since a massive earthquake and tsunami in 2011 destroyed its cooling systems and caused three reactors to melt.
