On January 26, Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries announced the results of the first bid for “Government-Stocked RICE” produced in 2022. 205,550 t, which is 99% of the planned annual purchase quantity, was sold. Following the 2021 production, it seems that the first bid filled almost all of the planned purchase quota. It seems that the number of successful bids for the first time is the largest since 2011, when the pre-bid system was adopted before the harvest season. Government-stocked rice generally seems to have a lot of bids if there is a prejudice. It seems that there is a strong view among market participants last year that the price of rice produced in 2020 will be followed by the decline in 2021 production. It seems that there was a bid of over 380,000 t from qualified participants such as JA and rice wholesalers in the planned purchase limit of about 207,000 tons. The number of bidders was 131, which was the highest number since 2011 for the first time. On the other hand, the number of successful bidders was 30, which seems to have been lower than expected. The wholesale price of new rice for the 2020 production has fallen for the first time in six years, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries seems to have expected that the supply and demand of the 2021 production may loosen. It seems that bidding for rice stocked by the government, whose price will be decided early, will be strong again if there is a strong view that the price will drop this fall. The first bid for 2021 rice produced by the government was held on January 26th. The planned purchase quantity is 207,000 t, which is the same as the rice produced in 2020, but there are some changes. One is that the minimum retail application quantity has been raised from 10t to 100 t as a purchase requirement (until the second round on February 16, 2021). In addition, it seems that the quantity of so-called B category, which is purchased using a grain discriminator, has increased five times from 500 t to 2500 t. The priority quota for each prefecture is about 185,314 t, and the general quota is about 21,686 t. It seems that there were many frames for each production area. Regarding rice stockpiled by the government, due to a shortage of warehouses for rice produced in 2020, some successful tenderers had to bring rice produced in their own prefecture to a distant warehouse. In preparation for annual rice production, tent warehouses are being built in each production area, where the main food rice is quickly inspected and shipped to the consumption area, and the company is moving to secure storage space for government-stocked rice in the sales warehouse of the production area. It seems that there was also. Well, there was some movement this year, but it's more attention, and next year it's spotlight.

One liter of gasoline is subject to a consumption tax in addition to a tax of 53 yen, which is called a volatile oil tax. At a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on January 25, 2022, Liberal Democratic Party heavyweight Mr. Hagyuuda will implement price restraint measures to curb soaring fuel prices such as gasoline and kerosene for the first time. It would be great if people involved in agriculture could benefit from this as much as possible. If the industry itself is not lively, the future of Japan will be dark and we cannot entrust the holy Japan to the children of the future. Without mixed agriculture, Japan's development is unlikely. Looking at the changes in statistics, the gasoline price, which was 50 yen per liter as of April-August 1966, soared to 177 yen in 1982 after two oil shocks. After that, a reverse oil shock struck, and gasoline prices fell, but due to the effects of the subprime loan problem, they soared again in 2008. Immediately after that, the Lehman shock occurred and the situation was plummeting. After that, it will rise again, but it has fallen to 109 yen in March 2016 due to the US lifting the ban on crude oil exports. From the consumer's point of view, 1995-2005 was relatively cheap and stable until about 17 years ago. But what about now? Isn't the car away from the general public, especially young people, accelerating because of that influence? I personally like the constitution of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. for a long time. Especially in 1946, when bicycles were the main means of transportation. Mr. Soichiro HONDA, who met the power generation engine of a radio owned by the former Army, remembered his wife who went shopping far away and was conceived to use it as an auxiliary power for a bicycle. He seems to have converted about 500 engines into auxiliary engines for bicycles and put them on the market. With unprecedented convenience and a flood of orders, he quickly began developing his own engine, and in 1947 he introduced the A-type engine as the first product to bear the Honda name. Complete. The Japanese car industry that followed him is still great and should not be depressed.

Ehime Prefecture is located in the northwestern part of the Shikoku region. The south side of the prefecture is the Shikoku Mountains, which crosses the central part of Shikoku from east to west. It is formed. On the south side of the prefecture, which is the western part of the Shikoku Mountains, there are high-altitude mountains such as Mt. Ishizuchi (elevation 1982 m), which is the highest peak in western Japan west of Kinki. In addition, many rivers such as the Shigenobu River and the Hiji River flow from these mountains, and plains and basins are formed in the basin. In addition, the Sadamisaki Peninsula, which is the longest peninsula in Japan, extends from the Kyushu region, and a ria coast can be seen in the Uwa Sea. In all prefectures nationwide, the total length of the coastline reached the fifth, about 1,700 km, as of 2016. Due to the geographically influenced climate of the Seto Inland Sea region, precipitation is relatively low and sunny weather is high, and it tends to be relatively dry. In general, the northwestern seasonal winds are predominant in winter, and the southeastern seasonal winds are predominant in summer. Relatively calm. Here, the saying: proverb. Spring mountain path tells the rain: 春のやまじは雨しらす (the mountain breeze that blows from the southwest is a warm and moist wind, so it is easier to rain if there is a lot of water).
