Japan imposed a ban on imports of chicken meat from Indonesia. The Japanese action was due to the fact that Indonesian chicken meat could not meet the standards set by Japan. The import ban on Indonesian chicken meat has been implemented by Japan since 2004. Indonesia is trying to re-export chicken meat to Japan by increasing the quality of domestic production.
