Recently, there have been two consecutive rounds of "dead fish tides" in Japan, and a large number of them have piled up on the beachesSardinesand other fish carcasses, this phenomenon was triggeredThe international communityof widespread concerns. While Japan** insists that the mass fish kills are not related to the nuclear sewage discharge, JapanFishermenwithFisheriesThe association, however, raised a strong ** against ** and the power company. At present, Japan has carried out three rounds of nuclear sewage discharge, with a cumulative discharge of 23,000 tons, which makes the Pacific Ocean Japan's."Sewers”。Therefore, in order to protect the interests of the country and the food safety of the people, our country has decided to completely suspend the import of aquatic products from Japan.
In response to the suspension of Japan's seafood imports, Japan's seafood export industry has been significantly affected. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, in the first two months of this year, Japan's exports of aquatic products to China fell by nearly 99 percent year-on-year3%, except for ornamental useKoiExcept for a few commodities, other aquatic products can hardly enter the Chinese market. After our country paid close attention to Japanese aquatic products, Niigata Prefecture, JapanKoiPractitioners point out that China has suspended imports from JapanKoi, the reason isKoiIt does not conform to China's quarantine policy, and at present, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is negotiating with the Chinese side.
ScallopsIt is another important export variety of the Japanese fishery industry, and China used to be JapanScallopsmajor export markets. Today, due to China's total ban on the import of Japanese aquatic products, JapanScallopsThe industry is in trouble. According to the senior management of the fishery company, after the loss of orders from China, Japan'sScallopsThere is already a backlog, and there is a backlog for the United States and EuropeScallopsExports have also been greatly affected. In addition, the labor shortage in Japan has also made it possible for Japanese fisheries companies to take advantage ofScallopsShipped to China for processing, and then sold to Europe and the United States to save costs. However, China's total suspension of imports has interrupted this supply chain, further exacerbating JapanScallopsThe dilemma of the industry.
In order to solveScallopsOn the issue of exports, Japan** is taking a series of measures. According to the Observer, Japan's top brass decided to explore South Korea andEuropean Unionmarket, putScallopsand other major aquatic products are exported to these countries. According to Japan's plan, Japan will export 4.1 billion yen per year to South Korea by 2025Scallops, towardsEuropean UnionExports of 4.5 billion yuan to sustain JapanScallopsThe size of the industry.
In addition, Japan plans to establish new ones with Southeast Asian countries such as ThailandScallopsProcessing export ** chain, willScallopsIt was shipped to Thailand for processing and shelling, and then sold to the United States and other countries to solve the current problemScallopsThe export conundrum. However, Japan faces a huge challenge. In recent months, many countries in Southeast Asia have strengthened their monitoring of Japanese aquatic products and refused to accept nuclear food, which has led to a further decline in Japan's seafood exports to Southeast Asia. Thailand, for example, imported only 4,300 tonnes of Japanese seafood in October, down nearly 60 percent year-on-year. This shows that the JapaneseScallopsExport plans can be difficult to implement.
It is important to note that South Korea is an important market. Despite the fact that the opposition parties in South Korea are currently commonDemocratsand some people oppose Japan's nuclear sewage discharge, but during Yoon Suk-yeol's tenure as South Korea's **, Japan may be able to find certain development opportunities in the Korean market.

In short, Japan's seafood exports are facing a serious situation. Fish killings caused by the discharge of nuclear sewage have aroused global concern, and China's import ban policy has made it almost impossible for Japanese aquatic products to enter the Chinese market. Japan** is working hard to open up new markets, especially South Korea andEuropean Unionmarket, and plans to build new ones with Southeast Asian countriesScallopsProcessing export chain. However, facingThe international communityWith strong concerns about the discharge of nuclear wastewater and strict testing requirements for imported food, Japan's seafood export business may face even greater challenges. In order to protect its own interests, Japan** needs to increase its efforts and actively look for new export markets.
The discharge of nuclear wastewater has had a huge impact on Japan's seafood exports. Due to concerns about the mass death of fish, Japan has completely suspended the import of aquatic products from Japan. As one of Japan's major destinations for the seafood industry, the closure of the Chinese market has brought Japan's seafood exports to a virtual standstill. In response to this challenge, Japan** plans to explore other markets, especially South Korea andEuropean Union。However, the problem faced by Japanese seafood is not only a concern for consumers, but also for other countriesFood safetyStrict requirements. Therefore, Japan** needs to further strengthen quality control and public information disclosure to increase consumer confidence in the quality of Japanese aquatic products. At the same time, Japan should also increase its support for the aquaculture industry, help aquatic companies transform and upgrade, and improve product quality and competitiveness to cope with the increasing competitionInternationalMarket competition. Most importantly, Japan should take the issue of nuclear wastewater discharge seriously, take effective measures to reduce the production of nuclear wastewater, and actively look for feasible solutions to treat nuclear wastewater in order to recoverThe international communityTrust in Japanese marine products. Only in this way will Japan's seafood exports be able to grow steadily in the long term.
