Sales of rice from northeastern Japan's Fukushima Prefecture have resumed in Singapore after being halted in the aftermath of the nuclear disaster in March 2011.
Japan's National Federation of Agricultural Cooperative Associations has been trying to convince overseas markets of the safety of rice grown in Fukushima.
Sales of the rice in Singapore began on Friday. Five kilogram bags of the Koshi-hikari brand were back on the shelves of one Japanese-run supermarket.
A detailed notice explained how the produce was checked for radioactivity.
Japanese living in Singapore, as well as local residents, were among the first to purchase the newly exported rice.
One Singaporean said he has no problem with rice from Fukushima, as he trusts Singaporean inspectors and the Japanese people. But not all Singaporean consumers seem convinced.
One supermarket manager expressed hope that customers will understand that rice from Fukushima has been determined to be safe.
