It also has the following two features.

○ Feature 1 Introduction of radioactivity measuring instrument
Both producers and dealers introduce radioactivity measuring instruments and conduct inspections based on provisional standard values ​​determined by the country and regulatory values ​​adopted by the Ukrainian Ministry of Insurance. Jay Wrap Co., Ltd. uses "EMG Japan" gamma ray spectrometer ". "Shop in catalog house" is "Minority radioactivity measurement device" manufactured by Applied Kohki Kogyo Co., Ltd. Both of these are highly accurate radiation measuring instruments of the same level as the "radioactivity contaminated food measuring room" of the external organization.

○ Feature 2 Demonstration of over-the-counter sales by producers
Vegetable producers regularly visit from Fukushima Prefecture during the weekend to demonstrate over-the-counter sales. In addition to appealing the safety of vegetables selling by showing a face, producers themselves will introduce seasonal vegetables and recommended recipes to promote communication with consumers.

The representative message by Toshihiko Ito, the representative director of Jay Rap Co., Ltd. (born in Sukagawa, Fukushima Prefecture, born in 1957 in Fukushima Prefecture, finding employment at the local agricultural cooperative in 1974, leaving in 1995, establishing Jay Rap Co., Ltd.) is as follows I will.

While continuing restoration work at home or workplace affected by the news of the nuclear accident that occurred right after the earthquake, I was spending days I could not see in the future due to the concern of harmful rumors of agricultural products. Under such circumstances, catalog house who has continued to associate for 15 years gave us a voice calling "We want to connect real reconstruction support by keeping selling agricultural products in Fukushima prefecture", and as we are " The aggressive feeling that the agricultural land that we have built over half a year will collapse due to a nuclear accident is strong, and this initiative has been realized.

Currently, agricultural products produced in Fukushima Prefecture are in trouble because of rumor damage due to radioactive contamination, but our producers are hesitant to hesitate to talk about radioactively contaminated agricultural products, and dangerous ones I can not say I should eat it. That is why we believe that rehabilitation of safety standards and measurement methods is essential. As part of that, if the production place and dealers set up radioactivity measuring instruments in both of them, and this effort to quantify and show the actual situation is a foothold for consumers to feel safe to eat agricultural products in Fukushima prefecture I think.
