		On March 27, 2002, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries (MAFF) had determined that USDA's national organic standards for the production, handling and processing of plant-based organic agricultural products meet the requirements of the Japanese Agricultural Standards.

		USDA and MAFF envision robust, cooperative communications on issues related to the implementation and operation of the export arrangement.
