Shrimp Industry Suffers from Radioactive Contamination

Shrimp Industry Suffers from Radioactive Contamination

The Indonesian shrimp industry is facing problems.

Some shrimp were found to have a radioactive substance called Cesium-137.

This happened after contaminated shrimp was sent to the United States.

Now, the U.S. and other countries are worried about the safety of Indonesian shrimp.

This is hurting the industry, as the U.S. has put a company on a red list, and prices have fallen.

Many people who depend on the shrimp industry might lose their jobs.

The government is trying to fix the problem.
