In this perspective, the meat was endowed with a system of identification that allows you to control the procurement at any stage, from Kansas to Japan.
A first delivery verified by the diplomatic personnel
The delivery of the meat from the Usa to Japan, by UPS is part of a pilot project supported by the embassy of both countries to monitor the effectiveness of the system.
