The claim
ニトリが中国にコメ輸出していることが高騰の一因?
Original review summary
The review reports that Nitori exported rice to China once, in January 2022, and has not exported rice since. It therefore finds no basis for the claim that ongoing Nitori rice exports contributed to Japan’s rice shortage or price increases.[S1]
Additional context
Nitori told the review that the 2022 shipment was a one-time initiative and that it has no current plans to export rice. [S1]
