Agricultural Labor Force Support Center / Sakurajima Net 21-In the Kagoshima Prefectural Agricultural and Rural Promotion Association, the scale of agricultural corporations is expanding to cope with the labor shortage in the agricultural field due to population decline and aging. On April 25, 2018, Kagoshima Prefecture will provide comprehensive support for securing a labor force, such as introducing agricultural human resources necessary for diversification and measures to reduce the labor force using AI, etc. It seems that they have set up an “Agricultural Labor Support Center”. The outline of the business is to hold liaison meetings, unify recruitment and job search information, match, study mechanisms that complement each other's labor force such as contracted agricultural work, collect and provide information on smart agriculture such as labor-saving machines and IoT, and foreign technical intern training system.

Internationalization of agriculture. As it is said that the movement of the world is directly linked to the agricultural production site, it is already globalized. Extremely detailed agricultural observations from an international perspective, such as the shapes of raw materials and products, processes such as production, sales, distribution, and consumption, are indispensable for management strategy. As for the structure of the bearers of agricultural production, the composition of aging and mixed living in rural areas and the shortage of bearers can be seen in most agricultural municipalities nationwide. It's not something that started now. It is positioned as a premise in every municipality. Pursuing the safety of agricultural products, the demand for safe agricultural products such as reduced pesticides and reduced chemical fertilizers is becoming more and more interesting to consumers year by year. Furthermore, in terms of policy, a system to respond to them, such as the revis...

The first frost is in late November, and the late frost is from late March to early April, and the frostless region is long. In addition, many typhoons approach and land, which can cause enormous damage to agricultural products, and it seems that farming Among the crops in the prefecture under this situation, the spring potatoes, which are called “new potatoes” in the market, are shipped from April to June, and the harvest begins with Fukue Island in The Goto Islands, and the northwestern part of the Shimabara Peninsula. Move to. And it seems that the final stage will be reached in the Iimori district of Isahaya city on the opposite bank. Both seem to be cultivated in warm areas facing the sea. As of 2014, more than 80% of the handling volume utilizes the designated vegetable price stabilization business of ALIC (Independent administrative institution Agriculture and Livestock Industries Corporation), so risk management when the market selling price falls works. It seems that reproduction was secured. This greatly contributes to the maintenance of production area and quantity, and the shipping period is from November to July, and the main shipping time is from May to June. In the same year, the occupancy rate of Nagasaki potatoes in the Tokyo Central Wholesale Market was 46% in May and 56% in June, and in the Central Wholesale Market in Osaka Prefecture it was 72% in May and 82% in June.

JA Shimabara Unzen, which has jurisdiction over the Shimabara Peninsula located in the southeastern part of the prefecture, was established in April 2001 by the merger of 11 agricultural cooperatives. Especially in the Minamigushi area, most of the area is terraced because there are many steep slopes, and while it is difficult to introduce machines, the productivity of lettuce for processing and commercial use can be effectively utilized in the limited fields throughout the area. It seems that they are making efforts to improve quality. Minamigushi (formerly Minamigushiyama Town was located on the Shimabara Peninsula in Nagasaki Prefecture. It used to belong to Minamitakaki District.) In the area, it seems that open-field cultivation is mainly carried out. The reason is that the climate is particularly warm even in the Shimabara Peninsula, so it is necessary to cover the entire ridge with a non-woven fabric or a lawn cloth after sowing seeds or planting seedlings. It seems that the hea...

FGAP (Fukushima Good Agricultural Practice) has the same basic items as other third-party certified GAPs, and it seems that it is characterized by newly stipulating measures against radioactive substances in detail. In addition, it seems that the subsidy project is providing support such as reducing the burden of certification acquisition costs (examination costs, analysis costs for residual pesticides and water quality, costs for utilizing private consultants, etc.). It is said that the number of certified GAPs acquired, which was 10 at the end of 2016 before the start of certification GAP efforts in Fukushima Prefecture, has increased to 151 as of the end of March 2019. In addition to farmers, 10 agricultural high schools and 11 prefectural agricultural junior colleges have obtained certification, and I hear that they are also promoting the development of agricultural successors such as young people who will lead the next generation. The number of GAP certifications acquired in the prefecture has been steadily increasing due to the efforts of the parties concerned since the declaration in May 2017, but the production volume is still insufficient to meet the demand and GAP in the distribution / consumption stage. It seems that raising awareness is an issue. For this reason, we will further promote efforts by producer groups and organizations such as JA to accelerate the expansion of production volume, and at the same time, we will raise awareness by holding fairs in collaboration with distributors such as mass retailers inside and outside the prefecture. The key is to expand the distribution volume. In addition, as these efforts spread not only in Fukushima but throughout the country, it seems that it is still necessary to create an environment where consumers can come into contact with certified products on a daily basis. Through this initiative, Japan's agriculture will be supported by regaining confidence in the agricultural products produced in Fukushima Prefecture that were lost in the nuclear power plant accident caused by the 3.11 Great East Japan Earthquake, regaining the pride of producers through the process of acquiring certification, and evoking further development. I can't stop believing that it will be the cornerstone.

In the Yanagawa Isazawa district of Date City in the eastern part of the basin, the dried persimmon “partially dried Japanese persimmon”, which is a traditional specialty of this area, is produced. Date's “partially dried Japanese persimmon” production began in the middle of the 18th century, and has a history of about 100 years since the establishment of the “sulfur fumigation method” in the Taisho era. However, due to the effects of the nuclear accident caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, this traditional partially dried Japanese persimmon production was forced to refrain from production for two years for the first time in its long history. In 2013, processing work resumed for the first time in two years. Producers are trying to completely revive Date's “partially dried Japanese persimmon”, maintain and inherit traditional techniques and tastes, and protect the culture and scenery of their hometown. Was formed. In 2016, I heard that production recovered to 75% of what ...
