<pre>Dear Friends:

For those of you like myself who are in the organic
olive oil business, I would like to remind you that as
of April 1, 2001, Japan will require all imported
organic foods to be certified by a Japan-based
registered certified organization.

<pre>Thought the list might be interested in the following correspondence in
light of Japan's
position in relation to imported organic produce. Hope it clears any
concerns - it did for me!
