Town, Tamura City, Tomioka Town, Kawauchi Village and Hirono Town have already finished transporting the removed soil,
and 3 other municipalities including Namie Town, Katsurao Village and Naraha Town are still transporting them. By taking
advantage of the summer holidays, elementary schools in Tanakura Town and Koriyama City are transporting the soil.

Situation of the agricultural, forestry and fishery industries
Production volume of the agricultural, forestry and fishery industries was sharply declined by thedisaster. order to help reconstruct disaster-affected citizens’ livelihoods, we have been making theutmost efforts to proceed measures for the rehabilitation and to promote measures for disseminationof attractions as well as the safety and security of the products.

Public relations for products that primary industries produced in the prefecture
Conducting to promote the attractions, safety and security of primary industry products in order to regain products reputation

Challenge Fukushima Project to enhance sales of primary products

Fukushima Hall "MIDETTE" at Nihonbashi

We release information about attractions of Fukushima’s rich nature and its blessings , andalso safety managements in Fukushima through various media and seminars. This year, we arein EXPO MILANO 2015 Japan Pavilion to convey A real New Fukushima to overseas.

We operates MIDETTE in Nihonbashi, in the center ofTokyo as a base station of Fukushima ‘s information
toward the metropolitan area . In July 2015, the numberof visitors reached 500,000 , counted from April 2014 open.

Measures for food safety and security
In order to prevent food containing radioactive materials over the standards from distributing in the market, we haveintensified an inspection system as well as decontaminating farmland to confirm the safety. Particularly, for rice which
is a staple food for us, we inspect all rice grains in all bags being produced and shipped in the whole area of theprefecture. The rice bags that satisfied the standards have labels of inspection certificate on them. Furthermore, we
instruct inspection technology on the voluntary inspection being held by the fishery cooperative association to safely
distribute sea food caught in the test fishing. Also, we consult with producers and distributors concerning
establishment of effective inspection system.

Industrial promotion and creation of employment
After the disaster, the number of offices in the prefecture kept declining. According to the industrial
production index showing the production of manufacturing industry, the level has not yet recovered tothe pre-disaster condition. There are many employment mismatches, depending on the type ofoccupations. For the sustainable development of industries in the prefecture, we will support business
continuity and resumption of mid and small sized industries which are the core of the regional economy
as well as attracting business establishments into the prefecture in order to secure employment.
Change of the numbers of offices by industries

Industrial production index◆ IP index transited around 90 from 2011 to2014 based on the index of 100 for 2012, notshowing the recovery to the pre-disaster level.
Particularly, slowdown is apparent in thetransportation machinery industry, electronics
parts, device, machinery industry.

◆The number of offices in the prefecture declined in all industries as of 2012 after the disaster.
Even in 2014, the number did not recover to the pre-disaster level except for a part of industries.

The Fukushima Declaration
We have received immeasurable support from people around the nation and the world.
This heartfelt support has greatly helped, inspired, and encouraged the people of Fukushima.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation once again to all our friends.
Thanks to this support and the efforts of the people of Fukushima, we are finally starting to see the firstsigns of reconstruction in our prefecture too.
I want to see all of us work together and raise these small sprouts into strong plants with our own hands.
Once these sprouts have grown into large trees, I would like to see children gather under them with smilesof delight on their faces.
That is the kind of vibrant Fukushima I would like to create.

1. We will create once again a beautiful Fukushima.
2. We will build a dynamic and vibrant Fukushima.
3. We will show the world and pass down to future generations Fukushima’s
reconstruction process.
March 11, 2012•

Concept contained in the slogan "Future From Fukushima"
Let each one of us start to step forward toward the revitalization!
