Police in Tokyo have arrested the president and an executive of a fruit and vegetable sales company on suspicion of forging documents to illegally export Japan's high-quality Sun Fuji apples from Aomori Prefecture to Thailand.

According to police, Isao Nasuno, 57, president of Tokyo company Sun Fresh Japan, and Atsushi Uchida, 48, exported 180 kilograms of apples, worth 6.6 million yen, between November 2021 and December 22 by forging documents claiming pest control measures had been taken, Kyodo News reported.

Police said they forged a report certifying that pests had been exterminated and submitted it to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Documents certifying that apples are free from pests are required to export them overseas.

The incident was discovered after a mite was found on one of the apples exported to Thailand in December 2022.

Police suspect that the company was trying to increase orders from overseas by increasing the pace of shipments of domestic apples, which are easy to obtain.
