Japan agrees to let in Indonesian fruits

quality control is a big problem at the best of times in indonesia. doesn't matter so much in areas such as reproduction wood furniture, where imperfections can be put down to "art". consistency is another huge problem.

for the japanese, quality and consistency are extremely important. they didn't invent the word "anal", but they reversed engineered it and now they do it better than anyone else in the world.

picky, fault-finding, fusspots.

so i personally don't hold out a lot of hope for indonesian food exports to japan.
