The Japanese government, led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, has announced plans to extend additional financial support to the fisheries sector and earthquake relief efforts following the New Year's Day earthquake that rocked the Noto Peninsula. This decision comes in the wake of a China import ban on Japanese marine products after the release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. Despite discussions between Japan and China, no progress has been made regarding the lifting of the ban. The ban has significantly impacted the Japanese fisheries industry, with a Kyodo News survey revealing that 80.6% of prefectural fisheries cooperative associations have been affected. In response to the economic strain on the fisheries sector and the recent earthquake, the Japanese government has pledged an extra ¥100 billion for quake relief efforts in central Japan.
