Japanese food products are “delicious and safe” quoted by Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan in responding to Japan exporting Rice to China.

The Japanese campaign to ply foreign consumers with its own foods has received a fresh boost with the long-awaited resumption this month of rice exports to China, the world’s most populous country and biggest food consumer, after a hiatus of four years.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe himself has touted Japanese food products as “delicious and safe”. The Abe government, inaugurated last September, has set an ambitious goal of nearly tripling Japanese exports of agricultural and marine products to 1 trillion yen (about US$8.1 billion) by 2013. (Source)
