Indonesia, US Discuss Export Certification After Radiation Scare

Indonesia and the United States are in discussions to establish a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on export certification for radioactive-free cargoes. This comes after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) detected trace amounts of cesium-137 in frozen shrimp and cloves shipped from Indonesia. The discussions aim to address concerns over the presence of radioactive materials in Indonesian exports, particularly in the wake of the recent detection by the FDA. Both countries are working to develop a framework for certifying the safety and radioactive-free status of cargo shipments from Indonesia to the US. The MoU is expected to provide a formal mechanism for ensuring the quality and safety of Indonesian exports, thereby addressing the issues raised by the FDA's findings. This collaborative effort between Indonesia and the US is intended to restore confidence in the export of Indonesian agricultural and seafood products to the US market.
