Since the 2011 triple-disaster, Fukushima’s tourism, agriculture and fishing industries suffered greatly, but people working in these industries are determined to get things back on track. Since the nuclear accident, a certification program involving municipal and prefectural governments, producers, distributors and retailers has been put in place to ensure food safety. As an indication of growing global confidence in Fukushima’s inspection and certification programs, countries such as the UK, Taiwan and Indonesia have recently dropped import inspection requirements on Japanese food products.
