SAPPORO, Japan -- Japanese seafood companies are set to start processing scallops from Hokkaido in Vietnam on Monday, as China's ban on Japanese seafood forces the industry to seek alternatives.
Seafood e-retailer Foodison is partnering with companies including wholesaler Ebisu Shokai and trading houses Ocean Road and Nosui on a trial of one shipping container of unshelled scallops, or more than 20 tonnes.
