Jakarta, Nov. 6 -- Indonesia has resumed shrimp exports to the United States valued at USD1.2 million, signaling the return of global confidence in the nation's seafood products after a Cesium-137 radioactive contamination incident, officials said Thursday.

"We recently shipped seven containers with a total volume of 106 tons worth about $1.2 million, or roughly 20.14 billion rupiah. All shipments have completed inspection procedures and were confirmed free of Cs-137 contamination," said Ishartini, head of the Marine and Fisheries Quality Control and Monitoring Agency.

She said the shipments were made in stages, with two containers sent on Oct. 31, two on Nov. 1, two on Nov. 3, and the final container on Nov. 4.
