Rice planting in Fukushima

Rice planting in Fukushima

Rice is planted in a paddy on May 23, 2025, in the Nagadoro area of Iitate in Fukushima Prefecture, which saw partial lifting in 2023 of the evacuation instruction imposed in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster. If the planted rice clears safety tests for radioactive materials when harvested, the Nagadoro area would be able to ship rice to the market for the first time since the nuclear disaster.
