Forestry? Japan? If it's special wood products, I can understand the label. But forestry? Nah.

Don't forget to take the Fukushima label off and change it. Clearly state radiation free, etc. Good luck.

Please leave the fishes alone, overfishing has been happening already.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a government meeting that the popularity of Japanese fruit and vegetables in the rest of Asia means exports can continue growing. "We will quickly formulate a plan to achieve this new goal," 

While we inside japan are unable to buy them because our salaries have not increased to match the already prohibitive prices that continue to rise.

Great, formulate a plan for your buddies in zenno to benefit from all at the benefit of the general population.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government has made boosting farm exports a pillar of his economic policies, earmarking billions of yen in its budget for the fiscal year beginning in April to launch a new organization focusing on this task and to increase production of wagyu beef.

New organization, why not call it what it is New Amakudari organisation for bureaucrats as their reward for the good job of being unable to lift the economy out close to 30 years of stagnation and turning it the most indebted nation.

What will it take to wake people up from the hypnotic spell.

How about giving us the same prices for Japanese fruits and vegetables in Japan than they charge oversees which would mean dropping prices by 50 to 75 % ?

This must be the only country in the world where locals pay double or more for Domestic product compared to the prices paid for Japanese product anywhere else.

Considering the possible effects of the coronavirus internationally, I think we should keep all our food and other natural resources. We will need them all in the future.

Japanese don’t want to work in backbreaking (literally) jobs for crap pay and neither do foreigners!

The automatons are waiting though...
