◆Plans for the Reconstruction and Revitalization of
the Special Zones in Futaba and Okuma Town
Following the revision of the Act for Special Measures for the
Reconstruction and Revitalization of Fukushima (May, 2017), the national
government was able to designate Special Zones for Reconstruction andRevitalization. The goal is to lift the evacuation orders and allow residents
to return to the Difficult-to-return area's over time (Difficult-to-returnareas are areas where residency is restricted over the coming years). In
accordance with this, plans have been formulated by Futaba Town andOkuma Town which were recognized on September 15, 2017 andNovember 10, 2017 respectively by the national government. The revised
act will concentrate on carrying out decontamination and infrastructuredevelopment of the designated zones in order to create an environment
which people can return to.

For the transportation of removed soil into the interim storage facility, about the total of
433,000㎥ was transferred from March, 2015 when the transportation started to late
September, 2017, and transportation for 20 municipalities out of intended 52 has been
completed. In terms of transportation in FY 2017, we are planning to transport 500,000 ㎥
which is also 3 folds of the previous year from 33 municipalities while prioritizing to carryout removed soil stored in school yards.
In November, 2016, construction was started on facilities to receive and sort andfacilities to store contaminated soil from decontamination efforts in Okuma and Futaba

Situation of the agricultural, forestry, and fishery Industries
Production values for the agricultural, forestry, and fishing industries have decreased since March 11,
2011. The prefecture is putting the upmost effort into a variety of activities to revitalize the agricultural,
forestry, and fishery industries, which will in turn contribute to helping rebuild the livelihoods ofdisaster-affected citizens. Activities include PR campaigns introducing qualities of Fukushima products
along with the systems in place to ensure food security and safety.

Public relations for products that primary industries produced in the prefecture
In order to restore the reputation of Fukushima’s products, the prefecture is carrying out a variety of PR activities to appeal a wide variety ofdelicious products that are safe and secure.

Fukushima Sake:
Tokyo Event

Top sales of Fukushima agricultural products:
Visit to Malaysia and Vietnam！
In August, 2017, Governor visited Malaysia andVietnam met with an import company based
there. He explained the steps Fukushima is taking toensure for safety of its agricultural products andtheir high quality. Accordingly they reached anagreement to increase the export volume of rice to
100 tons and 15 tons of peaches annually. This
doubles the previous export volumes.
On August 3 and 4, 2017 Fukushima Prefecture held the
Fukushima Sake Festival in Tokyo's SL Square in front of JR
Shimbashi Station. The festival commemorated Fukushima's
success in taking top place at the Japan Annual Sake Awards
with the highest number of gold medals awarded for 5
consecutive years. Over 30,000 people visited the event whichfeatured 158 brands from 54 breweries and enjoyed thequalities of Fukushima Sake, No1 in Japan.

The governor also conducted a promotional event at amall in Kuala Lumpur, introducing the deliciousness of
Fukushima products. He then travelled to Vietnam for the
first time to promote Fukushima pears with a sampling andsales event at a mall in Ho Chi Minh City. Those trying thesamples expressed their deliciousness with big smiles.
Fukushima recently began exporting peaches to Vietnam
for the first time.

Food safety and security efforts
For the prevention of distributing foods containing radioactive materials over the safety standard
level, we are decontaminating farmland and intensifying the screening system to confirm the safety.
Particularly, rice which is a staple food, has to go through radiation monitoring. All rice bags
produced in the whole prefecture and shipped must be monitored before the shipment.

◆Trial Fishing Conducted by the Fishing Industry
Fishermen in Fukushima Prefecture were forced to place a ban on coastal and trawl fishing;
however the safety of certain species of fish has been confirmed based on over 40,000 items
tested during monitoring inspections. Since April, 2017, the scope of trial fishing has been
extended to all species of fish and shellfish except fish species under shipment ban (10 species).

Industrial promotion and creation of employment
In 2015 shipment values for industries related to beverages, tobacco, livestock feed andcommunications equipment dropped. This was coupled with an overall drop since the previous year.
However, there has been a pattern since 2012 of increasing shipment values. When the entire
prefectures shipments are taken into account, shipments have mostly recovered to pre-disaster levels.
In order to continue development of local industries, we will continue to support the operation andresumption of small to medium-sized businesses which form the core of regional economies, as well as
secure employment opportunities through the promotion of company investment into the prefecture.

Changes in the shipment value of products (※)
Nationally, the shipment value recovered to levels exceeding
the pre-disaster value observed in 2010. In 2014 Fukushima
Prefecture had almost recovered to the pre-disaster level, andthen slightly declined in 2015 compared to the previous year.
However, in spite of that, an increasing trend is ongoing. On theother hand, since 2011 the shipment value in Futaba County
where residents were forced to evacuate due to the nuclear
power accident has remained down around 10% of pre-disasterlevel. We think it is necessary for us to further promote
revitalization in Futaba County and other evacuation-ordered
areas as well as the coastal area.

Development of hubs for research & development and industrial creation Ⅰ
For the revitalization and recovery of Fukushima, it is necessary not just to restore things to how they
were before the disaster, but create new, leading enterprises. Revitalization of the prefecture iscurrently being propelled by the development of hubs for R&D and industrial creation in a wide
variety of fields.

Strengthen ties with NRW, Germany

Renewable energy promotion
Target for renewableenergy introduction

Energy demand in
the prefecture

28.2%

Achievement
rate in FY 2016

Fukushima has a target to produce enoughrenewable energy to supply 100% of the energy
demand in the prefecture by 2040. This will beachieved by increasing renewable energy
introduction, and building hubs through the clusteringand development of relevant industries.

As part of the promotion of renewable energy and medical industry fields in theprefecture, we are promoting collaborations with overseas countries. We
concluded a memorandum of understanding with the State of Nordrhein
Westfalen, Germany in the fields of renewable energy and medicine in 2014,
and since then we have been promoting
business exchanges. We renewed the MOU
in January, 2017 for cooperation of therenewable energy industries, and in August,2017 for cooperation of the medical
industries. As part of this an agreement wasmade to strengthen the support system forcompanies in both regions. When thegovernor visited Germany in January, he met
January 2017, MOU renewedwith influential figures of the state
government including the prime ministerof NRW. They both comitted to further
strengthening cooperation between
Fukushima Prefecture and NRW as well as
deepening exchange between bothregions. By utilizing the robust networkwith NRW, we will wholeheartedly support
efforts by local companies for expanding
August 2017, signing with Deputy Minister,market opportunities in Europe, Germany ChristophDammermann, Ministry of Economic
Affairs, German State of NRW
and throughout the world.

Work has started on J-Village,
the all weather soccer training field.
On March 25, 2017, a groundbreaking ceremony was held at
J-Village, the all-weather soccer training field. J-Village served
as a base of operations for dealing with the accident at theTEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. This facility iscentral for the redevelopment plan to be implemented by theprefecture. This ceremony was a major first step toward therevitalization of J-Village. The training facility will use artificial
grass for the internal training fields.
The total building area isapproximately 10,000㎡ ,large enough for one soccer
field. It is the first of its kind inJapan. We are planning tooffer it for use in line with theresumption of operation in
the whole area in April, 2019.
