The Japanese and US Governments have reached an agreement on the conditions to resume importing US beef to Japan.


Beef imports were suspended in January after Japanese authorities found prohibited cuts in a shipment of US beef.


If everything goes smoothly, the Japan Times reported, the Japanese Government is likely to make a decision on whether or not to resume imports by the end of June and US beef could start entering the Japanese market in July.
