After Japan's vegetables were hit by disaster, it turned to imported Chinese vegetables as an emergency measure, and Japanese people exclaimed it was truly delicious

After the summer typhoons and earthquakes, although Japanese people kept saying that Chinese vegetables were heavily polluted and poor in quality, once the natural disasters had basically destroyed vegetable production in the north, they still obediently imported Chinese vegetables.

According to a report by Nihon Keizai Shimbun, in early September this year, the volume of carrots Japan imported from China had reached 2.8 times that of the same period the previous year, at 81 tons, while onions also increased by 60 percent, to 218 tons. It is reported that the wholesale price of carrots imported from China was only 88 yen/kg, while locally produced Hokkaido products sold for 153 yen/kg, nearly 1 times more expensive.

In fact, there are not a few cases of Japan using Chinese vegetables as an "emergency" measure. After the typhoons and prolonged rainfall in late last year, plus the subsequent low temperatures, the local vegetable supply became severely scarce at the end of the year, and in early this year, Japan had to import large quantities of Chinese vegetables. In January alone, Japan's imports of Chinese cabbage increased to 7.8 times that of the same period the previous year, cabbage increased to 5.8 times, and lettuce increased to 1.9 times.

Therefore, regarding the behavior of Japanese people who have always portrayed vegetables imported from China as "toxic vegetables," this editor can only think of 2 words: truly delicious!
