原発事故後初の農産物出荷　ブロッコリー、小売店に―福島・双葉町

　東京電力福島第１原発が立地する福島県双葉町の「特定復興再生拠点区域」（復興拠点）内の畑で５日、ブロッコリーの収穫作業が始まった。収穫は来年１月ごろまで続き、地元の農業協同組合に出荷され、県内の小売店に並ぶ。２０１１年の原発事故後、町産の農産物が出荷されるのは初めて。
　同県いわき市から車で１時間ほどかけて畑に通う栽培農家の木幡治さん（７２）は「ようやくここまで来た。収穫前の検査でも放射性物質は検出されなかったので、安心して皆さんに食べてほしい」と胸を張った。（2022/12/05-15:27）

Broccoli harvesting started at a farm in Futaba, Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan, on Monday, with the crop becoming the first farm product grown in the town to be shipped since the 2011 nuclear plant accident.
   Futaba is one of the two host towns of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, the site of the triple reactor meltdown following the March 2011 massive earthquake and tsunami.
   Harvesting will continue until around January next year, and broccoli will be shipped to a local agricultural cooperative and then hit store shelves across the prefecture.
   "We finally got here," said Osamu Kohata, 72, who manages the farm, which is located within the so-called specified reconstruction zone.
   "Radioactive substances were not detected in a pre-harvesting inspection, and I hope everyone will eat (the broccoli) without worry," Kohata said proudly.
