It will be one month before Japan discharges the “nuclear treated water” from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea. The impact of China’s comprehensive ban on the import of Japanese aquatic products continues to expand, especially the scallops that Japan sells to China with a high proportion, and there are too many stocks. And the price decline was quite significant, falling by more than 10%.
According to a survey by the Fisheries Agency of the Japanese Government, the transaction price of scallops in Hokkaido, Aomori Prefecture, Iwate Prefecture and other places has dropped by more than 10% compared with before the “nuclear treatment water” was discharged into the sea.
Futaki Harumi, president of the Aomori Prefecture Fisheries Cooperative (similar to a fishery cooperative, referred to as the fishermen’s cooperative), pointed out that because the shipment of scallops has stopped and the warehouses of the operators have been filled, “if everyone doesn’t eat it, there is really nothing we can do.”
In order to allow scallops to be sold directly to the United States and other places without being processed in China, the Japanese government announced that it will subsidize manufacturers to purchase processing equipment. However, Futaki said that once the manufacturers purchase equipment and China lifts the relevant ban, these equipment will only become into equipment that costs maintenance fees.
The leader of a fishermen’s association in Hokkaido said that sea cucumbers are different from scallops, and it would be difficult to appeal to the public for consumption in Japan. Another leader also said that although he opposed the discharge of “nuclear treatment water” into the sea, there was nothing he might do regarding it.
In addition, the Yokohama Town Fisheries Association in Aomori Prefecture has recently decided to postpone the sea cucumber fishing operation scheduled to start in October. The reason is that although dried sea cucumbers are high-end ingredients in Chinese cuisine, they cannot be sold to China, so it is not expected that any industry will purchase them.
