Japanese leaders plan to do more to help revive industries suffering from groundless rumors following the 2011 nuclear accident.
The Reconstruction Agency compiled new guidelines for helping local businesses at a meeting on Monday attended by Minister Takumi Nemoto and bureau chiefs from related ministries.
The guidelines say the government will continue releasing the results of radioactivity tests on agricultural products from Fukushima Prefecture.
Government officials will also continue to urge foreign countries to ease or abolish import restrictions on farm and fisheries products from Japan.
The guidelines call on member companies of the Japan Business Federation, or Keidanren, to use farm products from Fukushima Prefecture as gifts and offer them at in-house sales events.
Government officials will also work to attract tourists, including students on school trips, from inside and outside Japan.
Nemoto said businesses in disaster areas are being affected by groundless rumors. He urged the related agencies to lead the way to help give the industries a boost.
