Japanese fish farm offers Taiwanese grouper a market

Japanese business owners, led by Hayashi Trout Farm in Fukushima Prefecture, are coming to the aid of Taiwanese fisheries following China's ban on Taiwanese grouper imports. China was the primary market for these exports. Hayashi is currently in discussions with southern Taiwan officials and fisheries to import groupers into Japan. Kaohsiung, a city that produces 25% of Taiwan's grouper, is optimistic about the fish's potential in the Japanese market, given its high value and ability to appeal to both eastern and western palates.
