Local supermarket chains E-mart, Lotte Mart and Homeplus have confirmed that they will continue boycotting the sale of Japanese seafood.
The following announcement came after the Japanese government s recent decision to release a massive amount of radioactive water into the sea from its wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant.
The retailers decision to continue banning the import of Japanese marine products is rooted in flow-on environmental effects of the earthquake and tsunami that hit the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant back in 2011. The region was contaminated with radiation and Koreans urged the government and retail companies to stop importing food from Japan.
