In announcing the safe import into Mexico of polished rice from Japan, the Ministry of Agriculture stressed that the relationship between the two countries is an example of open trade, as it is based on sanitary protocols with technical and scientific basis, which are a reference at the international level.
Thus, Senasica determined that polished rice from Japan is free of brown boll weevil flour, so it meets the health requirements for safe shipment to Mexico.
The entry into Mexico of this cereal, which is recognized worldwide for its quality, flavor and nutrients, also contributes to the Mexican Government's strategy to increase the availability of the grain for domestic consumers at reasonable prices..
It is worth noting that Japan is one of the main destinations for Mexican agri-food products, since more than 800 Mexican restaurants operate in the Asian country.
Also, in recent months, both governments have increased technological cooperation in the agricultural sector and the exchange of students and professionals from universities and research centers in Mexico and Japan.
