According to Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, which surveyed firms roughly a month after the earthquake, more than 60% of production sites in affected areas had already recovered as of April 15. Almost 30% expected to recover by the summer, and the remaining 10% foresaw normal operations after the autumn.
而另一个问题则关于这场灾难对全球供应链的影响。据日本经济产业省在灾难爆发一个月后所进行的调查，受灾地区超过60%的生产场所已经在4月15日前恢复运作。还有30%预计将在今年夏天复工，而剩下的10%则有望在秋后恢复生产。
