YOKOHAMA - The National Federation of Agricultural Cooperative Associations (JA Zen-Noh) will resume sales of rice produced in Niigata Prefecture to China later this month after a break of nearly eight years.

橫濱——JA Zen-Noh將在中斷近8年之後，於本月晚些時候恢復向中國銷售新潟縣生產的大米。

Niigata rice exports were suspended following the triple core meltdown at Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.』s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant due to the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

由於2011年3月的地震和海嘯，東京電力公司旗下福島第一核電站的三重堆芯熔毀，導致新潟大米出口暫停。

JA Zen-Noh, the business and marketing arm of the Japanese agricultural cooperatives group (JA), will resume Niigata rice sales in Shanghai later this month on a trial basis.

日本農業合作社集團的商業和營銷部門JA Zen-Noh將於本月晚些時候在上海試行恢復新潟大米的銷售。

The group aims to expand Japanese rice sales in the massive Chinese market amid falling domestic consumption.

該集團的目標是在國內消費下降之際，擴大日本大米在龐大的中國市場的銷售。

China, which has a population of more than 1.3 billion, lifted its ban on Niigata rice in November last year.

擁有超過13億人口的中國在去年11月解除了對新潟大米的禁令。

The export resumption is 「a landmark event」 that will be appreciated by producers, agriculture minister Takamori Yoshikawa said at a ceremony in Yokohama on Tuesday to mark the occasion.

日本農業大臣Takamori Yoshikawa周二在橫濱舉行的紀念儀式上表示，恢復出口是一個「里程碑式的事件」，將受到生產商的讚賞。

JA Zen-Noh President Genichi Jinde said he regards the resumption as 「the first step」 in efforts to expand rice sales overseas.

JA Zen-Noh總裁Genichi Jinde說，他認為恢復大米銷售是擴大海外大米銷售的「第一步」。

JA Zen-Noh will sell a total of 500 bags each containing 2 kg of polished Niigata rice in Shanghai, targeting wealthy consumers. The organization plans to expand its Chinese sales network to cover Beijing and other cities.

JA Zen-Noh將在上海銷售500袋精加工的新潟大米，每袋2公斤，目標客戶是富裕的消費者。該組織計劃將其在中國的銷售網路擴大到北京和其他城市。

China introduced its import restrictions on Japanese farm and fishery products in April 2011. The regulations still affect products produced in 10 prefectures including Fukushima.

2011年4月，中國對日本農產品和漁業產品實施了進口限制。這些規定仍然影響到包括福島在內的10個縣生產的產品。

China also maintains import restrictions on Niigata products other than rice.

中國還對大米以外的新潟產品保持進口限制。

The government aims to increase Japan』s annual exports of farm, forestry and fishery products plus food to ￥1 trillion in 2019.

日本政府的目標是在2019年將日本農業、林業和漁業產品以及食品的年出口額提高到1萬億日元。

The exports totaled ￥807.1 billion in 2017, of which rice accounted for only ￥3.2 billion.

2017年出口總額為8071億日元，其中大米僅佔32億日元。
