Morimachi, Hokkaido wants scallops to be used in school lunches across Japan
After Tokyo Electric Power Company began discharging water treated at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean, China stopped importing Japanese fish and shellfish.
北海道の森町は、ほたてをたくさん中国に輸出していました
Morimachi in Hokkaido exported a lot of scallops to China.
Since China has stopped imports, a company in Morimachi has a lot of scallops left in its freezer.
Mori Town has decided to buy scallops that can no longer be exported and have them used in school lunches across Japan.
Morimachi uses money provided by the government to help people engaged in fishing, etc., and delivers them for free.
Because many cities and towns have applied, Morimachi will prepare five times as many scallops as originally planned.
Starting in November, we plan to deliver scallops to be used for school lunches for 500,000 people to 120 cities and towns, including Tokyo and Okinawa.
