After the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, many media began to warn against Fukushima and Japanese products. As a result, the Korean government began to regulate the importation of agricultural and marine products from Japan. . The Korea Food and Drug Administration announced on May 25, 2013 that it would stop the importation of certain products from Chiba. Due to this policy, the importation from 8 provinces and 21 types of whole agricultural and marine products is restricted. They also indicated that they would tighten these regulations if radioactive materials were detected in other items. As a result, consumption of agricultural and marine products is in rapid decline. The entire market is suffering from declining sales and falling prices due to consumer concern over radioactive contamination of products. According to the agricultural marketing industry, the average price of fresh agricultural products has generally declined (April 22, 2011) as the wholesale market scales nationwide. For example, the price of green chili pepper (10 kg) is 28,800 won, down from 61,200 won six months ago. In other products as well, prices have also fallen by about half compared to last year. Agricultural industry officials said the main reason for the price drop was apprehension over the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Marine products are in the same circumstances. According to the sales volume of marine products on E-Mart, marine products caught in the East Sea and South Sea close to Japan have fallen by 40% at most. The marine industry official said that there is an unconditional consumer revulsion towards Japanese marine products and domestic marine products.
