Fukushima fully resumes Taiwan peach exports for 1st time since disaster

FUKUSHIMA, Japan - Peach exports from Fukushima Prefecture to Taiwan resumed in full on Monday for the first time since shipments were halted following the 2011 nuclear crisis in northeastern Japan.

Around 4.5 tons of peaches from Fukushima, one of the country's key producers, are scheduled to be shipped to Taiwan by Sept. 11, farm cooperatives and prefectural authorities said, following the lifting of import restrictions on Japanese food products last November.
