【Feature】
JA Ibaraki Asahimura appreciation sale was held on May 28, 2023 at 'Sungreen Asahi', a farmer's market in Momiyama, Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture. Is visiting I heard that my friend also lined up with his family. At the same JA, red meat Quincy melon and green meat Andes melon are the main products. It seems that the optical sensor sorting system measures the sugar content and ripeness one by one. The sale lasted for two days, and I heard that more than 300 people lined up before the store opened at 9:00 a.m. to sell the rare "Premium Kiwami（極）" with a sugar content of 18 degrees or more at a discounted price. According to Ibaraki Prefecture, melons are mainly produced in the Rokko area such as Hokota City, the western area such as Yachiyo Town in Yuki District, the central area such as Ibaraki Town, and the southern area of the prefecture. Within Ibaraki Prefecture, Ibaraki Town, Higashiibaraki County, began shipping spring melons on March 27, and is expected to reach its peak in late May. In Yachiyo Town, shipments are expected to begin in early May. "Andes melon（muskmelon）", ‘Cossack melon x Rio Gold melon’ × “EARL'S FAVOURITE melon” × ‘Honey Dew melon’ - Was raised by mating. In 1977, the Sakata Seedlings, now known as Sakata Seeds (Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama City) announced a new variety. It is known as a representative of melons with a mesh pattern. It can be made earlier than “Prince Melon”. Since it is a slightly large ball, it seems that the cultivated area has expanded rapidly. Flesh is yellowish green and has a slightly firm impression. Evidence of ripeness at the time of eating : Grip lightly with both hands and feel moist in the palm of your hand. Making Andes（muskmelon）: It seems to start in the cold winter months. Sowing begins in December in winter - Melons are cultivated in multiple layers of vinyl houses. Adjusted the number of fruits per share to four, By doing fruit thinning, everything is hand labor. SAKATA SEED CORPORATION : Japan's representative net melon “Andes（muskmelon）” series new variety for the first time in 38 years -Developed “Red Andes（muskmelon）”. Distribution of cantaloupe（Red meat type）began in early May 2015, mainly in Tokyo. The biggest feature of the developed "Red Andes（muskmelon）" is the bright orange color of Flesh. The taste seems to have a sugar content of about 16 degrees. The period during which the taste and meat quality do not deteriorate Conventionally, it is about 7 to 10 days. It is a traditional variety, store at room temperature. Red Andes has been evolving for as long as 10 to 14 days. Postharvest, the meat quality is just right from the very beginning to just before it ripens. The taste is also hard to change, and the so-called ready to eat state continues for a long time. It is also suitable for gifts and cut sales demand for one person. Nobuyuki Kawasumi, the producer, was the chairman of the JA Ibaraki Asahimura Youth Group. Ibaraki's Asahimura Agricultural Cooperative's melons are the best in Japan in terms of quality. It seems that today is the result of the tireless efforts of pioneers. In 2022, both the unit price per box and the return per box were the highest ever. In the past, this region along the Pacific coast used to be the main crop, mainly kansho for starch, and upland rice, peanuts, leaf tobacco, and barley were common crops. In 1964, the Oya Agricultural Cooperative and the Suwa Agricultural Cooperative merged, and shortly after the Asahimura Agricultural Cooperative was born, the exemplary farmer under its jurisdiction began growing Prince melons. Word spread that it was better than other crops, and in 1966, the Prince Melon Section was formed in the agricultural cooperative, and joint sales of the agricultural cooperative began. I heard that Masao Asada, who was in charge of farming at the Agricultural Cooperative from the beginning, is the only way to learn about the history of melons in Asahi Village. After graduating from Koibuch Academy in Hara Town, Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture, he became a farming instructor at Oya Agricultural Cooperative through prefectural mediation. Not only did he inspect the shipped melons, but he also improved cultivation techniques, supervised subcommittees, and developed specialized fertilizers. Today, he is known as a meritorious contributor to Asahimura's melon production. On busy days, as many as 70,000 boxes were shipped in one day, and it seems that the inspection took until morning. There are many types of melons, from Prince to Elizabeth, Cossack, Shirayuki, Andes, Papaya, Quincy, and Earl's. In 1970, greenhouse cultivation was introduced. The melon cultivation area under the jurisdiction of the agricultural cooperative started from 5 hectares of Prince melon cultivation area, and the area has progressed steadily since then, with shipment volume reaching 1 million cases in 1975, sales of 1 billion yen the following year, and 3.2 billion yen in 1990. break through. At its peak, there were 454 growers (1986), a cultivation area of 350 ha (1985), and 2.3 million boxes shipped (2000, 2001). The fruits and vegetables management center was completed in 2003, and from the following year, they started sorting fruits based on sugar content, maturity, shape, etc. using optical sensors. With this introduction, work at the shipping site has been greatly reduced. In 1971, lettuce was introduced as a successor to melon, and then vegetables such as kidney beans, restrained tomatoes, broccoli, type of rape, mizuna greens, and spinach are said to have been planted. In parallel, melon plantings continued to decline, and now growers and acreage are about one-third of their peak. However, since the unit price per box is high, sales in the spring of 2021 will be about 71% of the peak. Leafy plants such as type of rape turn quickly and require less labor than melons. Sales of fruits and vegetables exceeded 10 billion yen for the eighth consecutive year. Sales of agricultural products in fiscal 2021 are 12.47 billion yen (an average of 6.51 million yen per union member). Fruits and vegetables have exceeded 10 billion yen for seven consecutive years. Fruits and vegetables have already exceeded 10 billion yen as of the end of October 2022 due to the rise in melon prices. A rare yellow melon with yellow skin and white flesh. His nostalgic melon that appeared in 1968 in the midst of the popular melon boom. It was bred and born in Nara prefecture. A hybrid of yellow melon and Spanish melon, it is a no-net melon with a smooth surface without mesh on the skin. Named after the hanging bell of an old temple in Nara Prefecture. It is characterized by its bright yellow skin, mild melon scent, and crispy texture, as well as its juicy, clean and refined sweetness. As the development of high-sugar, net-type melon varieties such as Ams and Andes progresses, the recognition of non-net, yellow-skinned Kinsho is gradually declining, and the number of producers seems to be decreasing. On April 5, 2023, shipping of the spring melon "Otome Melon" began at JA Ibaraki Asahi Village in Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture, one of Japan's leading melon production areas. About 6,000 cases were sent to nine markets nationwide, including the Tokyo metropolitan area. This year, the weather was fine and the temperature was high, so the melons grew faster than usual. After confirming shipping standards such as size and mesh, the members of the same JA melon department inspected the sugar content with an optical sensor, and it seems that they were boxed by grade. Otome melon has green flesh and a refreshing sweetness. The same JA also handles Andes and Quincy, and expects to ship about 1 million cases by July. Now, it is a dish that you can hardly see. Hokota City, where JA Ibaraki Asahimura is located, has a total area of about 208.18 km2, facing Kashima Nada in the east and Hinuma in the north, and is a region blessed with nature. The area inside the jurisdiction is located on a small flat land in the Kanto Plain, which is characterized by a warm climate, well-drained, oxygen-rich soil, and is located along the sea, so there is a temperature difference between day and night. It seems that the land conditions are suitable for growing large, fruits and vegetables such as v spinach and mizuna green. In addition, because it is adjacent to the metropolitan area, which is a large consumption area, it is an important food supply base and can supply fresh agricultural products at low distribution costs, which is a favorable condition for agricultural products. Melon, which was the center of the main crop, is cultivated in a pipe house and was also the first brand production area in Ibaraki prefecture. It seems that the number of crops has been decreasing year by year since around 2004 due to the growing problems of aging. In response to the decrease in melon planting, while searching for items that could replace melons, we made the best use of the fact that the pipe house can be used as it is and the irrigation facilities are in place, and as a conversion from melons to vegetables, we will cultivate multiple items. It seems that they have been working on it. Until then, vegetables were also cultivated for the purpose of supplementing melon, which is the center of the core crop, but it seems that they did not sell aggressively due to the unstable shipment. However, as the cultivation of excellent vegetables has been expanded as a key crop to replace melons, Road JA established the "Japanese mustard spinach subcommittee" in 2005 and embarked on full-scale sales enhancement to support Japanese agriculture. It is in. At the beginning of the establishment, it was composed of three parts, "mizuna greens subcommittee", "spinach subcommittee" and "parsley subcommittee", and others, and it seems that the type of rape part was not established. The "Paprika subcommittee" was created, and then in 2010, a new subcommittee was created due to the expansion of production of the type of rape. I hear that soil preparation is important for establishing a stable shipping system for the year. The type of rape subcommittee and JA set the basics of healthy soil in the fields of physical, chemical and biological, with the goal of producing healthy crops that are resistant to diseases, and conduct soil diagnosis at least once a year in all fields. It seems that the above is being carried out. In addition, regarding continuous cropping fields, it seems that they are working on cultivation while instructing and cooperating in field patrols, etc. to perform precise soil analysis, which is a diagnostic menu that is more than standard soil diagnosis. As a field of healthy soil making, in terms of physics, it seems that ripe compost is added to soften the soil and make it an oxygen-rich field. In terms of chemistry, soil diagnosis seems to give due consideration to fertilizer application and fertilizer management, which emphasizes fertilizer balance and trace elements, and enhances the resistance of plants to self-defense against pathogens. In terms of biological properties, continuous cropping disorders, soil imbalance, etc. are factors that promote pests, so effective microbial bacteria are used to reduce continuous cropping disorders, and the balance is adjusted. It seems that they are making every effort to maintain good soil condition by plowing into the field. On May 24, 2021, JA Ibaraki Asahimura and JA Hokota in Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture, which boasts the highest calculated amount of melons by municipality in Japan, are exporting melons cultivated lovingly to Hong Kong. It seems that last year was the first time that both JAs jointly exported melons. It must have been a collaborative project combined with a pandemic. It is sold at the Japan Fair in Aeon Hong Kong, which has 12 stores through the mediation of JA ZenNoh Ibaraki. At the JA Hokota Farming Information Center in Tokushuku, Hokota City, 600 cases are being shipped this time, including the boxed green meat "Ibaraki King Melon" and the red meat "Quincy Melon" from JA Ibaraki Asahimura. It was shipped by air from Narita Airport and arrived in Hong Kong, where it was sold one by one. It seems that 600 cases each, a total of 1800 cases, were shipped on May 31st and June 8th. The Japan Agricultural Cooperative Association (Tokai, Ota Ward, Tokyo) received a request from Aeon Hong Kong and asked JA Zenoh Ibaraki to export melons from Ibaraki prefecture. It seems that it was exported. Exporting excellent agricultural products is now desperate. Due to the tapering of domestic demand, it would be good if exports could be expanded overseas not only to Hong Kong but also to various regions. Spring melon seems to have tended to be a large ball like never before. “Nagaimo” is edible in Japan, “Natural yam” that grows naturally in the mountains, and “Large Yam” that is cultivated in small quantities in Kyushu and other areas. There are two types of “Nagaimo”, “Ginkgoimo”, and “Tsukuneimo”. The long potatoes are straight and long, and have a lot of water. The latter two types are different in shape from the long potatoes and have strong stickiness. In Honshu, Aomori prefecture, “Ibaraki prefecture”, Tottori prefecture, etc. are the main production areas, and Hokkaido is also a famous production area. The cultivation period of long potatoes is about half a year. It is a rhizome plant that grows up to about 1 m in deep ground. Therefore, it takes a lot of time and effort for both planting and harvesting. At the time of planting, a large machine called a trencher (grooving machine) digs about 140 cm and mixes the red soil on the surface with the black soil in the heart soil to make the soil fine and well-drained. After that, a basket full of seed potatoes is placed on a seedling planting trolley with an engine, and one plant is planted sideways between 23 cm plants suitable for cultivation. At the earliest, planting of one field is completed in one day. Then, mulch for heat retention is put on the embankment, and 3 m columns are buried in the ground at regular intervals to complete. At the time of harvesting, after removing the pipes, mulch, and vines on the ground, the sides of the ridges are dug at least 1 m with Yumbo, and the potatoes in the soil are harvested one by one by hand. After that, the harvested dioscorea opposita is covered with a sheet to prevent the soil from drying, and it is washed, cut, and vacuum packed for 2 days. At the beginning of digging, potatoes（tuber）with a length of nearly 1 m are cut into pieces of about 20 cm each, considering the time and effort of cooking at home. “Each one is perfect in thickness and length, but if you can get 3 to 4 packs, it will be good.” Nagaimo has an appropriate thickness and length, and there is a high demand for those with smooth and beautiful skin. In soil preparation, a crop rotation system that grows multiple crops in one field is recommended as a countermeasure against continuous cropping obstacles, and it is said that sorghum, a green manure crop, will be used to restore soil fertility when the fields are vacant. In addition, it seems that the direction of the ridges will be remade vertically, horizontally and diagonally each time it is planted. I heard that as a result of intentionally leaving the hard soil and guiding the roots toward the soft soil, straight Japanese yam with beautiful skin grow. JA Ibaraki Asahimura is located in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, and the former Asahi Village area is within the jurisdiction of Hokota City, which was created by the merger of Asahi Village, Hokota Town and Taiyo Village in October 2005. Hokota City, where JA is located, has a total area of 208.18 km2, facing Kashima Nada in the east and Hinuma in the north, and is a region blessed with nature. The climate is that the average annual temperature is 13.8 degrees Celsius and the average annual rainfall is 1,575 mm. The area inside the jurisdiction is located on a small flat land in the Kanto Plain, which is characterized by a warm climate, well-drained, oxygen-rich soil, and is located along the sea, so there is a temperature difference between day and night. The land conditions are large and suitable for growing fruits and vegetables (in JA, it refers to vegetables centered on spinach and water). In addition, because it is adjacent to the metropolitan area, which is a large consumption area, it is an area with favorable conditions as an agricultural product production area, as it can supply fresh agricultural products at low distribution costs as an important food supply base. Producing farmers are suburban agricultural areas centered on upland farming, and are roughly divided into institutional horticultural farmers centered on melons and soybeans, which are the main crops, and land-use farms centered on sweet potato. Established vegetable department: Melon, which was the center of the main crop, is cultivated in a pipe house and was the first brand producing area in Ibaraki prefecture. Due to changes in needs and problems of aging, planting has been decreasing year by year since about 10 years ago. In response to the decrease in melon planting, while searching for items that could replace melons, we have been working on the cultivation of multiple items as a conversion from melons to soybeans, taking advantage of the fact that the pipe house can be used as it is and the watering equipment is in place rice field. Until then, soybeans were also cultivated for the purpose of supplementing melon, which is the center of the main crop, but the soybeans were not actively sold due to the unstable shipment. However, as the planting of soybeans has been expanded as a key crop to replace melons, JA established the “Oriculture Subcommittee” in 2005 and started to strengthen sales in earnest. At the time of its establishment, it consisted of three parts, “Mizuna greens Department”, “Spinach Department” and "Parsley Department", and others, and Komatsuna Department was not established. The “Paprika Club” was created in 2008, and then in 2010, a new “Type of rape Club” was created due to the expansion of Komatsuna production. At the time of the establishment of the vegetable subcommittee, Mizuna greens and spinach, which enable stable production by year-round cultivation, were quickly introduced and expanded. In particular, the easy-to-eat Mizuna has expanded its cultivated area due to the rapid increase in consumption, and stable sales have come to be carried out. Currently, the shipment volume is 2,500 tons and the sales amount is about 900 million yen, which is the center of the vegetable subcommittee. On the other hand, spinach production could not be established easily. The reason for this is that due to the abnormal weather in recent years, fertilizer management is difficult, especially due to the intense heat in summer, and year-round cultivation is not possible. And so on. However, due to the promotion of planting by the subcommittee and JA, active production is currently being carried out. Chijimi Komatsuna (grown from 2007 to 2008) is a special seed that is different from the existing komatsuna, and the seed season is limited according to the harvest season. By growing it in the midwinter, the sugar content Is a komatsuna with a strong sweetness of 7 degrees or more. Currently, it is cultivated for a limited time (4 months from December to March), and it is growing as a production area that can stably respond to the demand from the market. Due to its high evaluation, ordinary komatsuna was also evaluated by the market as “JA Ibaraki Asahimura is a production area where komatsuna is cultivated year-round and a stable supply is possible annually.” From 2009, when the cultivation of small Japanese mustard spinach started to take off, the production of ordinary Japanese mustard spinach will be gradually expanded, and in 2010, the above-mentioned type of rape subcommittee will aim to provide guidance on increasing production and strengthen sales. established. Regarding the increase in the production area and sales of type of rape, in addition to the increase in market evaluation, it became difficult to cultivate spinach due to the intense heat in summer, and the production shift to type of rape due to the occurrence of continuous cropping failure of Mizuna greens. Can be given. In addition, the development of varieties that are strong even in the summer has helped the subcommittee and JA to optimize the selection of varieties. The number of growers has increased. Soil preparation is important for establishing a stable shipping system for the whole year. Type of rape Department and JA set the three fields of physical, chemical and biological as the basis of "healthy soil" and set the goal of “creating healthy crops resistant to diseases”, and the minimum annual soil diagnosis in all fields. It has been carried out at least once. In addition, regarding continuous cropping fields, it is said that they are instructing field patrols to perform precise soil analysis, which is a diagnostic menu that is more than standard soil diagnosis. As for the three fields of healthy soil preparation, in terms of physics, I heard that ripe compost is added to soften the soil and make it a field rich in oxygen. In terms of chemistry, it seems that soil diagnosis emphasizes fertilizer balance and trace elements, and strives for fertilizer application and fertilizer management that enhances the resistance of plants to self-defense against pathogens. In terms of biological properties, continuous cropping disorders and imbalance of soil are factors that promote pests. Therefore, effective microbial bacteria are used to reduce continuous cropping disorders, and the balance is adjusted. Producers seem to be trying to keep the soil in good condition at all times by plowing it into the field. Regarding post-harvest adjustment and shipping, as a quality maintenance measure during distribution, a freshness-preserving film material is placed in the upper part of the box to prevent the product from being directly exposed to the wind, and measures such as wilting are taken. In addition, guidance is given at the meeting to prevent the evaporation of water from the products, and each producer is thoroughly implementing these measures. Since it is expected that the production of vegetables will continue to expand in the future, the number of vacuum precoolers will be increased from the conventional two to four, and the fruit sorting plant itself will be a cold chain as part of the establishment of the JA acceptance system during FY2013. It seems that quality control will be thoroughly implemented from the receiving stage. In particular, further facility development has become an important issue because quality improvement in the summer leads to advantageous sales. As a result, we can further differentiate ourselves from other production areas in terms of quality, and we are not content with the current evaluation, and we are always aiming to create a production area that is more reliable and to provide a stable supply of quality. The Asahi area of Hokota City is an area where upland farming is the main focus and greenhouse gardening is popular. In addition, the climate is warm, the soil is in the Kanto loam layer, and the drainage is good, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so melons and tomatoes are cultivated actively. We are striving to introduce highly marketable crops and improve cultivation techniques, and there are many successors, and the motivation for cultivation is very high. Among them, melon is one of the leading production areas in Japan, and is the number one production area of melon in Ibaraki prefecture. Three items, spring melon, Earl's melon, and tomato, have been designated as Ibaraki Prefecture's fruit and vegetable brand production areas. The history of melons began around 1963 when several farmers started cultivating prince melons. Until then, wheat, sweet potatoes for processing, peanuts, etc. were cultivated, but in 1966, the Prince Melon Subcommittee was formed, and many melons such as Prince, Cossack, Shirayuki, and Elizabeth began to be cultivated. After that, the trial production of net-based melons began with the rise of high-class consciousness, and the Andean melon subcommittee was formed in 1978, and it seems that the cultivation of net-based melons has increased every year. As a result, around 1989, about 80% of the production was made up of net-based melons. When the cultivation started, it was mainly made of small tunnels (made of bamboo), but the pipe house was introduced around 1972, and the shipping time has been advanced year by year, and now it is shipped from the middle of April. More than 300 producers belong to the melon subcommittee, and they are working together to make delicious melons. The average area per household is 80 a, and it is customary to cultivate several varieties of each household. Soil preparation is the basis of melon cultivation, and JA conducts soil diagnosis and works on soil preparation by instructing combinations of organic fertilizer, ripe compost, crop rotation, green manure, etc. In addition, since sowing and maintenance work is carried out in the cold season, it is necessary to take measures such as temperature control, ventilation in the morning and evening, management work according to the daytime weather, and heat retention at night. This work is very important and hard work, and I can't feel free to open a greenhouse. Harvest 3 to 4 plants from one plant by counting the number of days (integrated temperature) after fruiting. Currently, Otome Andes, Quincy, Rupiah, 'Kinsho Melon', and Takami are the mainstream of cultivation. The shipping time starts from mid-April and ends in mid-July, mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area, from Tohoku to Kanto. The peak shipping period is from late May to mid-June. A state-of-the-art system that enables individual quality control has been introduced in the fruit sorting plant equipped with a centralized collection and shipping system by the Fruit and Vegetable Management Center, a large-scale pre-cooling facility, a farming information support center and the latest equipment. We have built our own production control system, and in order to provide consumers with “food safety and security”, we are obliged to record production history and disclose information. In addition, pesticide residue inspections are conducted on a regular basis to confirm safety. For quality control, fruits are selected using a non-destructive inspection (optical sensor) machine, etc., and a sticker is attached to each ball, and the cultivation history, control history, sugar content, etc. are disclosed via the Internet or mobile phones. This information is displayed when you enter the sticker number. In particular, melons are difficult to eat, so we guarantee the sugar content with an optical sensor so that no matter what you eat, you will not miss it. The sugar content is shipped from those with a sugar content of 12 degrees or higher, and it is subdivided into about 6 ranks up to 18 degrees or higher, depending on the variety, and thanks to this, it is highly evaluated by the market. Village area: On April 1, 1889, due to the enforcement of the town and village system, Katsushita Village, Katsushita Nitta Village, Kashiyama Village, Takihama Village, Kashiwakuma Shinden, Kashiwakuma Village, and Abo Village merged to form Suwa Village, Kashima District. On March 3, 1955, Asahi Village was established by merging with 'Oya Village' and Natsumi Village. 'Suwa village' was abolished on the same day. In August, a part of the old village area (a part of Kashiwakuma and Awa) was transferred to Hokota Town. Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Located in the Rokko region in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, it is one of the leading agricultural areas in Japan, blessed with a vast Pacific Ocean and abundant green land. Agriculture, which takes advantage of the flat terrain and mild climate, is a key industry and a food supply area for the entire metropolitan area. Not only fruits such as melons and strawberries, which are famous nationwide. Japanese mustard spinach, Spinach, Mizuna greens, Tomato, Carrot and other vegetables, which are known all over the country for many items. 大戸; Oodo's Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn（Indian soapberry）: City natural monument. The light candy-colored fruit is impressive.When peeled, a black seed appears from inside. The seeds are used for the black balls on the wings of the New Year play battledore and shuttlecock. The real skin was used as a detergent in the past. That's because when you rub it in water, bubbles form and it's suitable for removing dirt. Minowa: Tokushuku Castle: Designated as a city historic site, Built by Mr. Tokushuku's first Chikamoto at the end of the Heian period. He had been Shimotsuke no jo (local official for the Shimotsuke Province) before, but, by his merit of hunting down TAIRA no Masakado, he was promoted to Jushiinoge (Junior Forth Rank, Lower Grade) and appointed to the post of kokushi (provincial governors) for the Shimotsuke and Musashi Provisions as well as Chinju-fu shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Defense of the North) and increased his power. After passing through the castle monument, climb the stairs at the entrance, and you will see a waist from the southwest to the south on your right.

JA Ibaraki Asahimura's melons are grown in nutrient-rich fields in the warm climate of the Pacific Ocean, so they have just the right amount of moisture and are rich in flavor, juicy, and sweet. We ship safe, secure, and high-quality melons in the blessed natural environment of JA Ibaraki Asahimura. Andean melons are shipped from mid-May to late June. The rich taste and aroma will satisfy melon lovers.
Minerals from the sea and lakes, and dark brown volcanic ash soil: Ibaraki Asahimura grows a variety of seasonal crops in its flat terrain, mild climate, and well-drained volcanic ash soil. It is well-known to us as a land suitable for growing melons, with a large temperature difference between day and night. The sugar content and maturity of melons are measured using transmitted light from a digital sugar content measurement with an optical sensor, so only melons suitable for eating are selected. In addition to the appearance such as size, shape, net condition and color, the state-of-the-art optical sensor sorter selects and ships excellent melons that are safe, secure, and delicious.
As a large-scale facility development that made stable supply possible, JA Ibaraki Asahimura's fruit and vegetable management center seems to be a facility for collecting, shipping and temporarily storing products within its jurisdiction. It seems that the cultivation management ledger, pest control diary, and inspection data submitted by the producer are collectively managed. I hear that the establishment of this center has enabled producers to reduce the labor involved in fruit sorting and packing, allowing them to concentrate on cultivation management. Detailed information is disclosed for each melon. If you read the QR code on the seal attached to the excellent melons with your mobile phone, you can see the variety, grade, inspection date, sugar content, and production such as who (producer name) and how (pesticide spraying, fertilization information, etc.). History can be browsed. In addition, traceability is implemented for each melon, not for each box.
