Guangdong supermarkets have severely reduced the number of Japanese goods

One year after the Japanese earthquake, the type and quantity of Japanese food imported from supermarkets in the city of Guangzhou was severely curtailed. In addition, the vitality of Japanese stores that specialize in selling Japanese imports has not yet fully recovered. In the Guangzhou supermarket, some of the food products of Japan origin have expired, and the person in charge of the supermarket stated that they do not plan to replenish the goods.

According to the relevant person in charge of the PARKnSHOP TASTE sales department, the supermarket opened two Japanese food streets when it opened two years ago, and it specializes in selling imported products of Japanese origin. After the nuclear crisis in Japan in March last year, many people rushed to buy food. At the same time, due to the supply of goods, the food on the Japanese food street was greatly reduced. There are hundreds of native Japanese foods sold in supermarkets, which are currently reduced to more than a dozen.

According to the latest statistics from Guangdong Customs, in January of this year, the total value of imports and exports of Guangdong enterprises to Japan was approximately US$4.55 billion, a decrease of 26.7% year-on-year.
