The farmer's pension system, like other public pensions, aims to stabilize life and improve welfare in old age, and also has the purpose of agricultural policy through the pension business. The new system was enforced from January 1, 2002 in line with the basic principles of the Food, Agriculture and Rural Area Basic Law, which is the sustainable development of agriculture, while responding to recent changes in the situation surrounding agriculture and the current state of pension administration. Insured qualification: Under 60 years old, the first insured person of the national pension (excluding those who are deferred or exempted from paying the national pension premium), those who join the farmer's pension are obliged to join the national pension supplementary pension Is through. Also, those who engage in agriculture for 60 days or more a year. Shitake Mushroom cultivation seems to be included in agriculture under the Farmers Pension Fund Law. Also, I heard that it will be covered by the national treasury subsidy (policy support) for insurance premiums. The new system is a policy pension aimed at securing bearers in line with the principles of the Food, Agriculture and Rural Area Basic Law. It seems to be a long-term stable funded system that is not significantly affected by subscribers and beneficiaries. Insurance premiums will be subsidized as policy support. As a general rule, the person's contribution will be received from the age of 65, and the policy support will receive the pension from the time of succession of management in the future. (Both can be advanced up to the age of 60) The basic insurance premium is 20,000 yen, and for those who do not receive policy support, the maximum is 1,000 yen (excluding the additional insurance premium of 400 yen for the national pension). It is possible to increase the number of units, and it seems that the entire amount will be deducted from social insurance premiums. Naruto City, Subsidy period: It seems that under 35 years old is all the period that meets the requirements, and 35 years old and over is limited to 10 years, up to 20 years in total. Farmer's old-age pension special supplementary pension pension amount: A pension based on the premium paid by oneself and its investment profit. Pension based on national subsidies and their investment profits. Receiving conditions All members of the new system. No management succession requirements when a person who receives a national subsidy succeeds. If the management is succeeded before the age of 65 Basically, you can receive the pension from the age of 65, but it seems that you can receive the pension up to the age of 60 together with the old-age pension for farmers. If you succeed to management after the age of 65, you will be able to receive it from that time. Moreover, there seems to be no age limit. 20 years No requirement It seems that the total of the premium payment period and the valve period must be 20 years or more. Status report It seems that it is necessary to submit it in June every year. (To the Agricultural Commission or the nearest JA) However, if it is within one year after the ruling, it is not necessary to submit it. Must be submitted in June every year. (To the Agricultural Commission or the nearest JA) However, it seems that it is not necessary to submit it within one year after the ruling or after the suspension of the special supplementary pension is lifted. Lump-sum death allowance: If a subscriber or beneficiary dies before the age of 80, the amount of the farmer's old-age pension that should be received from the month following the month of death to the age of 80 is rebated at the planned interest rate. It seems that the bereaved family will receive it as a lump sum.

Kintoki is cultivated in a limited area along the Naruto Strait, such as Satoura Town and Otsu Town in Naruto City, Matsushige Town and Kawauchi Town in the vicinity, as represented by Japanese agricultural products. Kintoki's cultivation seems to be conditional on the warm climate of Tokushima prefecture and low rainfall, and the fact that it is made in sandy areas that contain plenty of sea minerals. It is even more interesting to increase consumers' purchasing motivation to make a big difference depending on the person. After all, is the secret of deliciousness in the soil? It is cultivated in the traditional sand dune field and the sand field where sea sand is dressed (carrying sand), and the well-drained seawater. I've heard that it is a sandy area that contains plenty of minerals, and that it is of good quality, and that Kintoki is made. The optimum temperature for storage is about 10 to 17 degrees Celsius, and it seems best to store in a cool and dark place with good ventilation. Sealed state that does not allow air to pass through is strictly prohibited. It is better to refrain from storing in the refrigerator or in a warm room. When the temperature rises above 17 degrees Celsius, sprouts tend to sprout, so it is better to remove them and eat early.

From February 2021, “Lotus root curry” and “Lotus root medicinal porridge” using “Stork Omotenashi Renkon” will be on sale. These two products were jointly developed by students from Shikoku University and the NPO lotus root research society, and it seems that recipe development was promoted with a focus on health and deliciousness without using food additives. “Lotus root curry” and “lotus root medicinal porridge” are 648 yen including tax, and can be purchased at JA Otsu Matsushige's agricultural products direct sales office “Egao” and JA Tokushima Kita. A part of the sales is donated to his Non-Profit Organization Tokushima Stork Fund fund, and it seems that it is used for activities to promote the return of Ciconia boyciana to the wild. On April 27, 2021, the Tokushima Prefectural Headquarters held an “automatic robot mower demonstration” at a pear field within the JA jurisdiction with the cooperation of JA Otsu Matsushige. It seems that this demonstration was aimed at proposing the practicality of smart agriculture utilizing robot technology, ICT, and information and communication technology, and helping producers to reduce their labor. Approximately 40 people from JA and producers participated in the demonstration, and Husqvarna Zenoah Co., Ltd. (a machine manufacturer that comprehensively handles agriculture, forestry and landscaping machinery, construction-related equipment, and greening and watering equipment.

Producers who participated seemed to be eager to introduce it, saying, “It is attractive to reduce the labor of mowing and not to use herbicides.” It seems that the Tokushima Prefecture Headquarters will continue to demonstrate various agricultural machines including robot mowers and promote efforts to support the labor reduction of producers. “Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture” : There are many sites that tell the story of the beginning of culture from Primitive to ancient times. When the system was put in place by the Taika Reform（Country, county, village）in the 7th century, the city area belonged to the Itano District Awa Country. Mr. Hosokawa ruled Awa during the Muromachi period, and Mr. Miyoshi ruled Awa during the Warring States period. Castles such as Muya（Hayashizaki）, Kizu, and Tosadomari were built in the city. In 1585, Iemasa Hachisuka-ko became the lord and built Muya Castle (Okazaki Castle) on Mt. Myokensan, and Hayashizakiura developed as a castle town. April 1, 1889 : The act of the City, town, and village was carried out. Muya Town and seven villages of satoura, Naruto, seto, otsu, kitanada, horie, and bando were born in the city area, and were included in the Itano District from the following year. In 1947, four towns and villages, Muya Town, Satoura Village, Naruto Town, and Seto Town, merged. Two months later, the city name was changed to Naruto. It is said that Otsu village was incorporated in 1955, Kitanada village was incorporated in 1956, and Oasa town was incorporated in 1967 to become the current city area. The city is located in the eastern part of Shikoku, at the northeastern tip of Tokushima prefecture. It faces Awaji Island through the Naruto Strait and forms the eastern entrance of Shikoku, which connects to Honshu. The northern part is designated as Setonaikai National Park（Inland sea archipelago seascape where nature and living are in harmony）. A scenic spot known for its rapids and whirlpools in the Naruto Strait, with a view of harimanda to the north and the Kii Channel to the east. KOBE-AWAJI-NARUTO EXPWY opened in 1998. Furthermore, in 2002, the entire line of TAKAMATSU EXPRESSWAY was opened.Exchange hub city of Shikoku and Honshu: Wide-area tourism attraction business: It connects tourist attractions of culture etc. to organically.

Flower - Hibiscus hamabo Sieb. et Zucc., It was decided by open call for participants in August 1984. A deciduous shrub of the Malvaceae family that grows naturally near the coast of the city. It is a neat and lovely flower with leaves that resemble a heart shape, and in late July, bright yellow flowers open for only one day.

As a symbol of fraternity and peace, the flowers are blooming throughout the city by the hands of the citizens. Tree - Ilex integra Thunb., This was also decided by open call for participants in August 1984. An evergreen tree of the Aquifoliaceae family known for producing birdlime from the bark. It grows abundantly in the mountains of the city, and the fruits ripen red in late autumn, and the beautiful colors make it soothing.

Mascot character : “Uzushio-Kun“ : In 1996, it was decided by open recruitment as a commemorative project for the 50th anniversary of Municipal system enforcement (May 15, 1997). Uzuhime-Chan: Born in 2012 as a partner of “Uzushio-Kun”. The delicious grilled potato color vortex mark is the most attractive feature. The hat is so lovely that it has the image of “Narutokintoki”. In the Edo period, in 1692, the chief support Mr. Mataemon made a round kite with 50 sheets of Uta paper as a sideshow to celebrate the reconstruction of the main temple building in the Okazaki district. , It seems that it originated from the acclaim. Regarding the name of “Wanwan”, at the time of this celebration, Kagami mochi was placed in a bowl of tan-nuri and acted as a gentleman, but it seems that this bowl was nicknamed repeatedly. When a strong southeasterly wind blows from May to July every year, it seems that large kites are being fried at Hiroto (Satoura coast) in the Satoura area. Hundreds of kites danced during the heyday of kite flying from 1934 to 1936. In the Muya region, he took a break from work to the post office, including the company, and seemed to enjoy flying kites so much that the entire town went out to fly kites. It is said that the cost of making a kite was 18 yen at that time, and it is said that one family was asked to donate 1 yen. (Daily salary of an adult boy 1.50 yen, a cup of udon 7 yen) In the Nyoyo region, flying a large kite is a specialty, and the name of the kite is “Wanwan kite”. Wanwan kite is the name of a kite in each region in the Muya region (currently Muya Town, Naruto City (Kurosaki, Saida, Minamihama, Kizu, Okuwashima, Kokuwashima, Okazaki, Bentaiten, Kitahama, Hayashizaki, Tateiwa). It seems that it was the name of a kite in the Okazaki district. Representatives include “Kikuichi” in the Odai district of Otsu town, “Naruto” in the Yakura district of Otsu town, “Wanwan” in the Okazaki district of Muya town, and “Sasa” in the Kitahama district of Muya town. It seems that there were more than 100 types of kites. It seems that this doggie kite in the Okazaki area is synonymous with Muya's large kite. Once upon a time, “Matsushige Town, Itano District” was a lowland formed as a delta at the mouth of the Yoshino River, and newly reclaimed rice field were developed by reclamation and land was created. At that time, a bank was built and many pine trees were planted. It was named “Matsushige Village” because of its appearance and taste, and then changed to “Matsushige Town” and developed. Located in the eastern part of Tokushima Prefecture, surrounded by Naruto City, Itano District, and Tokushima City, the eastern side of the town faces the sea, the Kyuyoshino River and the Imagire River flow, and the fertile delta covers most of the town. Occupy. As a transportation hub in Tokushima Prefecture, people come and go (The total area ’s 14.24 square kilometers with 5.5 km east-west and 6.5 km north-south). It is an “airport town” located in the northeastern part of the prefecture. In agriculture, cultivation of pear, sweet potato, radish, and lotus root is popular, and it is said that it is highly evaluated in the market for its excellent quality and taste. “Naruto Kintoki : National Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives” was approved by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Japan Patent Office as a regional collective trademark on April 20, 2007, and continues to develop as a representative brand of Tokushima Prefecture. ing. The designated areas are only produced and harvested in “Naruto City” (I hear that Oge Island originated), Tokushima City, and Itano District. The famous “Kokei No. 14” (cultivated actively in Shikoku and Kyushu regions: It has excellent early hypertrophy and is shipped from an early stage by poly mulch and tunnel cultivation. Agricultural Experiment Station in Kochi Prefecture in 1945 : The exodermis is crimson, long-spindle-shaped, and the taste of early digging is very good, but the ecological characteristics and sprouting properties are not very good. Weak against Alternaria porri and Nekobu nematode; Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., but strong against Negusare nematode（Pratylenchus）), which was introduced in Tokushima Prefecture in the 1975s, was selected and bred from a variety for early digging (Sakaide Kintoki, Tosa-Beni: Sweet potatoes cultivated in greenhouses and covered tunnels (early cultivation) that take advantage of the warm climate of Kochi Prefecture. The original variety is said to be Kokei 14. It is famous and useful as a “sweet potato” produced in Kochi prefecture that is suitable for early digging. In 1935 at the Okinawa Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station, the hybrid seed Kokei No. 14 of “Nancy Hall” and “Siamese” (sprouting property is medium, the number of sprouting and seedling elongation are slightly inferior. It is a “siamese” that was selected and cultivated at the Kochi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station based on the fact that the skin is crimson, the meat is yellowish white powder, and the taste is excellent. It is a variety that has been cultivated so that it can be dug even faster. * Since it is not stored at all, it's shipped as “fresh potatoes” freshly dug. , There is a tendency to hit the market. Since the skin is very thin and there is a limit to how much it can be washed and sorted by machine, it seems that each one is carefully hand-washed and hand-sorted.). It is a “sweet potato” that is red and has an excellent taste and shape. Around 1980, I heard that “sweet potatoes” produced in a specific area around Tokushima City from Naruto City came to be called “Naruto Kintoki”. “Matsushige Bijin (Matsushige Vidin and below)” was applied for registration in 1992 by JA Otsu Matsushige Agricultural Cooperative Association (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan Patent Office) based on the trademark registration system, and was registered in 1995. When converted per 100g, it contains about 7 times as much vitamin C（Helps collagen production to strengthen cell binding）as apples. Surprisingly! When you receive it, the storage temperature should be 10℃ to 17℃, and it’s recommended to store it without direct sunlight or sealing.

It has an elegant sweetness and is recommended for roasted sweet potatoes and steamed sweet potatoes. It is said that sweet potatoes entered the Naruto area about 200 years ago. Amagasaki（Hyogo）seeds were introduced from the middle of the Taisho era to the early Showa era, the seedlings were raised on the breeding ground, and the harvest season advanced until the beginning of August. Then, in the 1960s, “Kokei No. 14” was introduced, and around the 1980s, a line with a thick red skin and a good shape was found. Is established. It is also known as a semi-complete food because it contains excellent nutrients.
