It is known around the world as one of the leading production areas in the prefecture, centering on facility gardening such as cucumbers, colored peppers, garlic chives, zucchini, and mangoes, including peppers that once boasted the highest production in Japan. It is recognized that it is very important to secure new leaders in supporting agriculture, which is the core industry of Saito City. Therefore, in the city, JA, prefecture, and city will work together to create an organization to support farmers, and carry out various follow-ups on agriculture, which is not limited to the process from farming consultation to farming. Seems to be. Regarding agricultural training, it seems that they are incorporating advanced farmer training. Emigration by conducting practical training at top-class farmers, participating in local activities together, and participating in study sessions held by producers, in addition to technical matters. It seems that one of the merits is that even people will soon become acquainted with each other and become familiar with the area. Also, I heard that the farmer will be a good consultant even after independence and will take good care of him.

The epidemic stomatitis; foot-and-mouth disease that occurred in Miyazaki Prefecture in 2010 killed the precious lives of 297,808 livestock and had a tremendous impact not only on the livestock industry but also on the local economy and the lives of the citizens of the prefecture. After the end of epidemic stomatitis; foot-and-mouth disease, in 2010, “epidemic stomatitis; regeneration / reconstruction from foot-and-mouth disease” was formulated, positioned as the most important issue of prefectural government, and support for resumption of livestock management. It is said that the public and private sectors have been working together as an “all Miyazaki” to change the production area structure and industrial structure, and to revitalize the area. After that, based on the “Miyazaki Prefectural Livestock Reborn Plan” formulated in 2013 and the “Miyazaki Prefectural Livestock Reborn Promotion Plan” formulated in 2016, which is now the third stage, “Production” is based on “Strengthening the epidemic prevention system”. With the three perspectives of “improvement of power”, “strengthening of human resources” and “strengthening of sales power” as priority measures, it seems that Miyazaki Prefecture is promoting efforts toward the growth of the livestock industry. As a result of the producers and other related organizations and organizations working together to regenerate and reconstruct from Aphtae epizooticae, it seems that the agricultural output of livestock in 2016 reached a record high of 220.6 billion yen. In addition, for beef cattle, we won the Prime Minister's Award for the third consecutive tournament at the “11th National Wagyu Ability Co-Promotion Society” last year, and there is a high interest in Wagyu due to the expansion of tourists visiting Japan. It is related to the fact that it has been working on the export of “Miyazaki Japan beef” ahead of the rest of the country and the registration of geographical indication (GI) protection system to protect the “Miyazaki Japan beef” brand to Taiwan where demand for various parts is expected. I'm listening to you. In March 2010, Miyazaki beef was adopted for the first time as a Japanese beef in a specific production area at the party after the 90th Academy Awards ceremony, and Miyachiku Co., Ltd., JA Miyazaki Keizai Ren, and the prefecture's trinity promotion activities were carried out. As a result, beef export volume in 2017 seems to have reached a record high of 394 tons. Furthermore, in terms of production base, with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' “Livestock Cluster Project”, in addition to expanding the scale of each producer, breeding centers and cattle aimed at improving the productivity of each production area through cooperation and division of labor. The development of regional base facilities such as stations has also spread to the prefecture, and the number of breeding cows has started to increase since 2015. Achieved the annual plan target of 80,000 animals ahead of schedule. As for the bearers, Kagawa Livestock Co., Ltd., which contributed to the creation of an intractable disease-free area by taking the pinch that pigs disappeared in the outbreak area due to Aphtae epizooticae as an opportunity, received the Emperor's Cup and in June 2021. Mr. Masahiko Kagawa, the representative of the company, was appointed as the chairman of the Japan Pig Farming Association for the first time in Miyazaki Prefecture, and it seems that leaders who lead livestock are active in each region of the prefecture. In terms of distribution and sales, with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' “Agricultural and Livestock Products Export Expansion Facility Development Project”, cattle, pigs and chickens produced in the prefecture are processed and processed in the prefecture to add value. I hear that the development of two export base facilities equipped with state-of-the-art equipment is steadily progressing. In addition, in order to change the structure of production areas that are highly dependent on livestock, the JA Group established one of the largest frozen vegetable processing factories in western Japan at that time, and used the feed fields of livestock farmers that were discontinued to grow vegetables for processing business. As a result of the accumulation of usage, it seems that it has become known to the world as a production area that occupies 70% of domestic frozen spinach. It is a certain fact that Japan's livestock farming has entered a new era of international competition due to the TPP11 agreement and other factors. Under these circumstances, in the summer of 2021, a regional caravan was held for the status of efforts and future promotion of the “People / Cow Plan” that set the goal of increasing the number of beef cattle breeding cows according to the actual conditions of each region in the prefecture. It seems to be new. Among them, beef cattle breeding is an important item in mountainous areas, but the population is declining significantly compared to flat land and the conditions are disadvantageous, so we aimed to inherit management resources and secure a labor force based on flexible ideas. Information and communication technology (so that young bearers can actively participate in livestock farming, because it is difficult to expand the contracted area due to a shortage of operators even if they are trying to divide the roughage production by contractors and opinions requesting measures. It seems that there are opinions that it is important to promote labor-saving and high-profit livestock farming by promoting work style reforms at production sites that incorporate ICT) and robot technology. In addition to the progress of internationalization of agriculture, the budget for livestock in the prefecture is shrinking due to the decrease in the number of farmers and the increase in social security costs, so that Miyazaki Prefecture will continue to fulfill its responsibilities as a food supply base in Japan. Seems to have a limit in following the precedents of vague measures. It seems important to continue to challenge the livestock industry, which will lead the next generation, by bringing in new ideas and building organic collaborations across a wide range of industries and fields, not just those involved in livestock, including producers. Miyazaki Zucchini is a plant of the Cucurbitaceae family that eats immature fruits that have just bloomed. It is similar to cucumber and white melon, but it has a light taste and can be used for various dishes. It seems that small young fruits can also be used as flower zucchini. Since it can be produced in a short period of time, it seems to be incorporated into the crop rotation system of fruits and vegetables cultivated in the greenhouse. Although it is a variety, it seems that it produces “diner（From Takii & Co., Ltd., it seems that the pericarp has light green marbling spots on the dark green area. The grass is completely free of vines, and the internodes seem to be extremely tight. Female flowers bloom continuously from each node, and the yield is high. It seems that the optimum harvest time is 4 to 6 days after mating, with a fruit diameter of 4 cm and a length of around 20 cm. As for the cooking method, stir-fry with meat is compatible, and it seems that it can be used for various dishes such as fried foods and simmered foods. As a guide, the number of planted plants is 1,200 per 10 a. It is recommended to plant seedlings of up to 4 true leaves to prevent plant damage and promote smooth initial growth. In order to increase the yield, we would like to add fertilizer 2-3 times from the beginning of harvest to promote the enlargement of the fruit and maintain the grass vigor until the latter half.）” with marbling spots on the beautiful dark green ground on the skin. Seedlings are raised in the house, but it seems that many cell-molded seedlings are grown in 72-hole cell trays. It seems that they are growing seedlings 10 to 15 days after sowing (1 to 1.5 true leaves). After planting, I heard that one row will be planted in the house with a ridge width of 180 cm and a spacing of 50 cm, and the plants will be grown at a relatively low temperature. It seems that pollen mating is carried out, the leaves are plucked so that the fruits are sufficiently exposed to light, and good quality ones are harvested. As I forgot to say, it is said that zucchini's history goes back to North America and Mexico, and that cultivation began in Europe around the 16th century. It seems to have a long history in Europe, but it is still a new vegetable in Japan, and it seems that it began to be imported from the United States around 1980. I hear that the consumption of zucchini is increasing year by year, and the domestic production is also increasing. According to a survey by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, domestic production has quadrupled in the 12 years from 2000 to 2012. After that, it seems that the value of research is worth investigating, such as the yield of the whole country. As an aside, in Shintomi Town, Koyu District, it seems that zucchini, whose appearance and taste have not been examined, was introduced for the first time in Japan in 1980 by a cultivation method called facility horticulture in Miyazaki Prefecture. It seems that zucchini was grown in Nagano and Chiba prefectures in the open field cultivation, but I heard that it was the first attempt to cultivate zucchini in earnest using a vinyl greenhouse in Japan. Wamyō Ruijushō - It is said that there was Emperor Jimmu's imperial palace, and there are many folklore about the Emperor. There was a shrine called “Emperor Jimmu Shrine（The predecessor of MIYAZAKI Jingu Shrine）” for a long time-Imagine the origin of Miyazaki Prefecture. “Hyuga country” of the ancient Ritsuryo nation : It is believed to have been established between 684（Emperor Tenmu, Hakuho Earthquake: Estimated to be a huge earthquake along the Nankai Trough）and 696（Empress Jito）AD. Satsuma became independent from Hyuga in 702-Taiho Code, envoy to Tang. Furthermore, on April 3, 713, Osumi was separated. A country area close to the current MIYAZAKI area has been confirmed : Except for a part of the south. “Jinno-shotoki” - History book by Sir Chikafusa Kitabatake-Ko “Miyazaki Prefecture”, Located in the southeastern part of Kyushu, in a mountainous prefecture where mountains occupy about 75% of the prefecture's land. The eastern edge faces Hyuga-nada (Pacific Ocean) with a total length of 400 km. With an area of 70.2 km east-west, 160 km north-south, and a total area of 7,734.18 km2, it is the 13th largest in Japan except Hokkaido. The landform consists of mountains including Volcanic areas, and low flat plains and Basin that include foothills, plateaus, terraces, and lowlands. The distribution covers all areas except the plains in the eastern part of the central part of the prefecture. It is lined with mountains such as Mt. Sobo (1756 m), Mt. Kunimi (1739 m), and Mt. Ichifusa (1721 m)（With Oita and Kumamoto as the border）. The Wanitsuka Mountains are located in the southern part of the prefecture, and the Kirishima volcanic group centered on Mt. Kirishima (1700 m) is located on the border of Kagoshima Prefecture. In the northern and southern coasts of the prefecture, the mountain bodies are submerged in the sea, forming a rias-style submergent coastline. The hills and plateaus surround the Miyazaki Plain and the Kirishima volcanic group to the east of the Kyushu Mountains. Distributed in basin groups such as Kakuto, Kobayashi, and Miyakonojo. It is rocky or gravel, and the upper part is covered with white sand around the volcanic area. Rivers and rainfall erosion are significant, and terraces and dissected valleys have developed, presenting complex topographical conditions. In addition to the basin river valley, lowlands are found near coastal estuaries and in river basins in the plains, forming alluvial lowlands. I hear that straight dune coasts are distributed along the plain coast. The coastline is bordered by Mimitsu, with many bends in the north and straight sandy beaches in the south. It is blessed with an excellent natural environment such as lush mountains and a beautiful coastline, and the area of the natural park is 91,919 hectares, which occupies about 12 % of the prefecture's land（Designated as a 105-hectare marine park area）. Forests are 5,873 km, 75.9 %, arable land is 690 square km, 8.9 %. Roadside landscape beautification ordinance, 1969 : Protect excellent natural landscapes, trees and other plants along the road. By planting new flowers and trees, we plan to improve the scenery along the road and promote the beautification of the local area. “Roadside natural landscape district（Eighteen districts, total 1,026 ha designated）”, Washingtonia filifera.（ワシントニアパーム）“Roadside landscape planting area （Designated 74 districts, total 168）”, “沿道修景指定樹木（thirty-nine designated in twenty-seven locations）”, Designated, nationwide pioneer. The citizens of the prefecture have endeavored to create and conserve a road environment full of flowers and greens. 景観法（Landscape Act）, 平成十六年, 六月十八日, 法律第百十号（Act No. 110 of June 18, 2004）, Examination of planting arrangement and management method that should be in the future. I hear that the first planting along the road was in 1937. Phoenix was planted along the national highway along the Nichinan coast, and maintenance as a road park began. National Park in Kyushu, Japan called Nippo Seaside National Park,1955. Promoted the planting of flowers and trees along the road in 1962. Collaboration with citizens of the prefecture : We are working to improve the spirit of making our local road beautiful by ourselves and to foster an attachment to the road. “Kunitomi Town, Higashimorokata District”, Located in the central part of the prefecture, the east is adjacent to ‘Miyazaki City’, the prefecture's capital. On the north side is Saito City, which is famous for its ancient tombs（Note however that the Haniwa (terra-cotta figurine) standing statue of an armed male currently owned by Tokyo National Museum was excavated from a site in the city of Ota in Gunma Prefecture, while the items excavated from the Higo Eta Funayama Tumulus, also owned by Tokyo National Museum, were excavated from a site in Tamana District in Kumamoto Prefecture, and finally the gilt bronze harness excavated from the ‘HYUGA’ Province Saitobaru Tumulus, now owned by the Gotoh Art Museum, was excavated from Saito City in Miyazaki Prefecture）. Saito is highly regarded throughout the country for its agricultural and livestock products produced from its warm climate and abundant land. Typical examples are peppers, sweet corn, garlic chives, and ripe mangoes. In addition, processed products made from Yuzu from Higashi Mera and shochu; distilled spirits made from high-quality water and sweet potatoes are also popular as souvenirs. Currently, with the philosophy of “creating a collaborative society with the citizens,” he continues to move toward creating a “lively Japanese hometown, Saito.” Last but not least, let me introduce a simple cultural property that is close to the producer's field. City-designated historic site “Ito Tower” Enkoin Ruins : Designated date: September 1, 2016 Location: section of village Kanoda. It seems to be the tombstone format used by Mr. Ito, who owned the central part of Hyuga Province in the Middle Ages, and Mr. Ito Obi, who ruled Obi in the early modern period, that is, Mr. Ito who appears in the history of Hyuga. It is a famous story that Miyazaki's historical researchers called this “Ito Tower”. The shape is similar to the five-story stone tower and the Olympic tower, but the part corresponding to the water ring of the Olympics seems to be square. It seems that the name of the priest and the year of death are written in the square part. It was used as a tombstone for the lord of the Ito clan, the lord of the Obi clan, and his relatives, and it seems that the vassals who made a great contribution to the survival of the Ito clan were allowed to bury it at the Ito pagoda. In July 1569, Yoshimasu Ito, the lord of the castle in the 11th capital, died at the young age of 24 (Akita young lady of noble birth), the daughter of Fusamoto Ichijo. It seems that his father, Yoshisuke, built the castle in Nakao Castle, which is one of the castles, to mourn the bodhi of Yoshisuke. It is said that along with the tombstones of Yoshimasu, the tombstones of Yoshimasu's older brother, Kotoramaru, who died at the age of 9, are lined up at the site of Enko Temple.
A representative of healthy vegetables rich in potassium and low in calories. Among the light-colored vegetables, it is rich in carotene and seems to help strengthen immunity in cooperation with vitamin C. Carotene tends to increase its absorption rate when taken with oil, and ratatouille (a specialty of the Provence region in southern France, which is a local dish of Nice, with summer vegetables) is a reasonable dish. It is a vegetable rich in dietary fiber, which is an indigestible component contained in food that is difficult to digest by human digestive enzymes, and seems to contain about 1.3 g of total dietary fiber. Of the total amount, about 1.1 g is insoluble dietary fiber, which helps the growth of intestinal bacteria and plays an important role in intestinal regulation.
Fruits are much more delicate vegetables than you can imagine, and because the skin is soft, they are easily damaged by a little bit, and they are harvested and packed very carefully, and even after that, careful handling is required.
All mating is done by hand, and it is said that safe crop production is realized. Since it grows fast, it takes less than a week to determine the harvest, which is laborious.
