Since the production area of vegetables in Ehime prefecture is smaller than that of other prefectures, it is easy to think that the vegetables produced are small quantities and many items. We are striving to improve the name recognition and advantageous sales of “Ehime vegetables” through consumer promotion activities and planned sales, mainly in the region and prefecture. Speaking of Issun broad beans, “Ryosai Issun broad beans” is a nationally famous variety, but the prefecture has been strongly working on the cultivation of a new variety “Ai no Sora（From the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration website, Vicia faba L .: Application number, 20843, Application date, 2007/03/27, Application publication date, 2007/08/03, Registration number, 18295, Registration date Date, 2009/06/25, Duration of breeder's right, 25 years, Date of extinction of breeder's right, Name and address of breed registrant, Ehime prefecture (Ichiban Town, Matsuyama City): Breeding of registered varieties Name of the person who did it, Mr. Kenji Nagai, Mr. Yasuo Toi, Restrictions on exports No designated country.

Compared to the control variety “Uchikoshi Issun”, the weight of the pods is heavier and the weight of the green fruits is heavier.）” cultivated at the Ehime Prefectural Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Institute since 2007. I'm out. This broad bean is a traditional Ehime vegetable that is well-known nationwide for its good taste. “Shimizu Issun” Broad Beans from Johoku - Born in Shimizu Town, Matsuyama City. It seems that it was born by repeating mating and selection. It is a large grain, and when you eat it, a slight sweetness spreads in your mouth, and you can enjoy a smooth, powdery taste. From now on, as a variety unique to Ehime prefecture, producers (workers) will continue to grow with love and hope that they will contribute to Japanese agriculture.

【Major features】
It is well known that Ehime Prefecture, which is the production area for agricultural products introduced here, has been cultivating Taro（a root vegetable like a potato that is eaten in Asia and many countries in Africa）since the early Edo period about 400 years ago, but in 2020, the yield per 10a is 1 in Japan. We were proud of the rank (2380 kg). Shikokuchuo City, which is located in the eastern part of the prefecture and is a production center of satomono, is a zone where the “mountain path wind”, which is said to be one of Japan's three major local winds, blows down. It seems that the cultivation of Taro, which grows underground instead of above ground, has become established, and stable production of Taro, Japanese yam, and crop rotation of paddy rice has been established. It seems that Taro has come to be called “Taro” because it is a potato cultivated in a village (sato), as opposed to the Japanese yan that can be harvested in the mountains. The place of origin is from eastern India to the Indochina Peninsula, and I heard that it was introduced to Japan during the Jomon period via China. Before the start of rice cultivation, it seems to have been the staple food of the Japanese people. Currently, there are more than 200 varieties in Japan, including Colocasia esculenta Group: Dodare（It was named because it is cultivated in a village for grow wild dioscorea japonica (natural yam) in the mountains.）, Wase Ishikawa（In Osaka, the round shape has a stronger early growth, so seed potatoes are selected, and early delivery by multi-cultivation has started to spread rapidly. “Dodare”, It is a late-maturing variety that is relatively resistant to cold and is widely cultivated in Kinki, Kanto, Hokuriku. etc.）, Celebes（Named because the shape and the striped pattern on the surface resemble shrimp（a group of island in eastern Indonesia between Celebes sea（Sulawesi island） and New Guinea）. ）, Yatsugashira（Described on the same website on December 8, 2021. The origin is that the taros are not divided around the parent taro and are attached to all sides, and it seems that they have many heads）, and Taro Ebi（ebi-imo : Without 'tsuchi-yose: ridging', the putting of soil between the stems coming from the parent potatoes and those from the smaller potatoes, the smaller (small-imo) will not part and they will not acquire the basic bent shape of ebi-imo. To produce heavy ebi-imo, it is desirable to have rich, permeable soil and maintain the soil at an appropriate humidity. Because ebi-imo is likely to be damaged by fertilizer, the decision of when to plant should be taken with consideration of the water in the soil, and it is better to do the planting just after a rain when the soil is wet enough. The name comes from the shape of the taro, which is bent due to the weight of soil after repeatedly covering the potatoes with soil, resembling the shape of a shrimp.）”. I heard that the special product “shrimp-shaped taro variety” in miyazaki prefecture is the largest taro in Japan. Unlike ordinary taro, it has a cylindrical shape and is characterized by its large size. The name is that the appearance of the head on the ground is similar to a bamboo shoots. Before, it was called “Taro Taiwan”. I hear that it was introduced from the south in the Meiji era in the Miyazaki prefecture.）. Since Taro is rarely eaten overseas, it can be said that it is a Japanese food. For growth, seed potatoes are buried in the soil, and the first large buds are the parent potatoes. The buds that emerge from the parent potatoes grow to the ground and become thick stems, with leaves, and in the soil, child potatoes and grandchildren can be formed side by side. The difference between parent taroes, child tubers, and grandchildren seems to depend on the location and size of the taroes. The child potato is a grown bud that emerges from the side of the parent taroes, and the grandchild potato can be formed next to the child tubers. Generally, the parent taroes is large, and the child tubers and grandchild potato are small and round. It has a peculiar slimy texture and has a unique texture that is sticky but chewy. The characteristic slimy ingredients are glucomannan（It cannot be digested by human digestive enzymes, and it is said to be good for dieting because it absorbs water in the stomach and swells dozens of times. Furthermore, it has been reported that it has an effect of suppressing absorption of sugar and cholesterol, and many studies have demonstrated that it is also effective in improving blood glucose level, cholesterol and triglyceride level in metabolic syndrome.）, galactan（This sugar is a combination of unique proteins and has been confirmed to have the effect of lowering blood pressure and removing cholesterol in the blood.）, etc., which can be expected to have the effect of enhancing digestion and absorption, activating gastrointestinal function, increasing good bacteria, and improving the intestinal environment. In addition, research results suggest that the abundant vitamin B1 supports the conversion of carbohydrates into energy, and that vitamin B6 strengthens the skin and mucous membranes. Since taro is vulnerable to drying, water management is important, but it seems that it is also an advantage that the water management process is easy because the water supply facilities of paddy fields can be used in the city. The Uma Agricultural Cooperative, which has the city under its jurisdiction, is a specialty product of the Taro brand in collaboration with the production subcommittee and related organizations amid the nationwide decline in the number of farmers, the aging of producers, and sluggish growth in agricultural income. By the end of 2021, it seems that it will be the main production area with about 320 houses of producers by working on the revitalization of agriculture by the conversion. Ehime Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station is working on development in collaboration with the National Agricultural Cooperative Ehime Prefectural Headquarters, JA Uma, and producers. Redifferentiated individuals were created from 'Wase Onna' from at the laboratory) (from 78 individuals that were created, selected, and raised by performing callus culture on the meat tissue of Taro's newborn tuber, 1998. “H7-O62” was selected as an excellent strain in 2012 and designated as “Taro Ehime No. 1” in 2000. A preliminary survey was conducted for variety registration from 2001 to 2003, and “Ehime Agricultural Test V2” was conducted in 2004. “Ehime Agricultural Test V2” cultivated by strain selection has a good taste, the shape of Taro is round, and the yield is high. February 22).) ” Was developed. In 2006, it was named “Iyo Bijin” because of the producer's desire to eat the white and round Taro born in Ehime and be beautiful from the inside of the body, and it has also been certified as a “loving brand” by the prefecture. Iyo Bijin has a white and delicate meat quality, a bale-shaped roundness and a sticky texture, and it has no habit of taste, so it goes well with any dish and is very popular. Traditional Taro is a vegetable that can be eaten on a happy day as a lucky charm of the prosperity of descendants. This is because Taro grows in seed tubers instead of seeds, with a parent tuber in the center of the plant, a child tuber from there, and a grandchild tuber on the outside, and many child tubers and grandchild tubers can be harvested from one parent tuber. I heard that. Also, how many tubers are taken from one plant is important, but Iyo Bijin is unusual because its grandchildren are round and large, and the yield is high. The Ehime Taro Wide Area Fruit Sorting Plant, which started operation in March 2019, is attended by 4JA (Uma, Ehime Mirai, Syuso, Ochi Imabari) in the Toyo area, which is the main production area of Iyo Bijin. By setting up the same fruit sorting plant with fruit sorting / sorting / packaging functions and direct sales functions as well as potato separation / root cutting functions, we will unify fruit selection standards, correct JA-to-JA disparities, and unify production and sales. It seems that they are aiming to expand the collection. JA staff at the fruit sorting plant handle the loading into the cargo receiving box, and it seems that producers can ship to the fruit sorting plant while riding on the truck. High quality products and excellent products are selected by visual observation, and it seems that eight people will be selected during the busy season. I heard that about 20 employees are assigned to the fruit sorting plant. Let's move on. Kuchinotsu, Minamishimabara City, Fruit Tree Experiment Station, Citrus Club (Kuchinotsu, Minamishimabara): It takes about 15 years to develop and nurture. Friends of Nagasaki Koi（Yearning）Mikan（Mandarin）; “Setoka” : It is famous as a tangor that was bred by crossing “Murcott” with kiyomi orange with Angkor No. 2 of the breeding system. A small-nucleus variety with large fruits, soft and juicy, aroma, high sugar content and good taste. Middle-aged Citrus L. matures from January to February. The fruit surface is smooth, the fruit shape is oblate with a high waist, and the skin is orange to dark orange. Thin, easy to peel, with a medium aroma similar to Angkor or Murcott. The flesh is dark orange, the sac is thin, the flesh is soft and juicy, and the number of seeds tends to be small, about 0-5. And it seems that parthenocarpy（Ovary wall and flower bed enlarge and form fruit without fertilization）is strong. The fruiting is good and it is easy to get results every year. Strong tendency to streptomyces spp., Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri. It is Susceptibility against citrus tristeza virus (ctv), and the incidence of stem pitting（Easily propagated by Toxoptera citricida Kirkaldy, and also propagated by cotton aphids at a low rate）is high. Since one ball is heavy, it is necessary to manually support it so that the branches do not break due to its own weight as it grows. Application No. 10852 Date of application 1998/04/09 Date of publication of application 1999/03/18. Registration number 9398 Registration date 2001/10/18. Plant Variety Protection and Seed Act, Act No. 83 of May 29, 1998 : 25 years of breeder's rights ; National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, NARO.Unique sweetness, chewy texture, and wonderful fragrance. Citrus “Three great elements.” The history of Nagasaki mandarin is that in 1780, the Omura feudal lord, “Sumiyasu OHMURA”, the Satsuma feudal “Nagashima mandarin” (Izumi District (former: Azuma Town) Nagashima-cho, Wenshu mandarin), and Ikiriki Village, Nishisonogi District (currently Isahaya). It is said that the cultivation was started by Mr. Yuiemon Tanaka, Mr. Rinemon Tanaka, and Mr. Tsuguemon Nakamichi of the city, formerly Tarami Town, Nishisonogi District. （Citrus Unshiu has heard that the seeds brought back from China by the envoy to Tang China began to bear fruit and were found in Kagoshima. High-quality “Satsuma mandarin” was cultivated from the Ikiriki region, and saplings began to be shipped nationwide, and it is called “Ikiriki-based Satsuma”. In 1876, it seems that oranges were sold by hand in the castle town. In addition, from around 1887, the production area of mandarin oranges was expanded in Ikiriki Village, and even today, the area is the main production area in Nagasaki Prefecture. From 1961, “Act on Special Measures for Promotion of Fruit Tree Agriculture (Government Ordinance No. 145)”, the Nagasaki Prefecture Citrus Promotion Plan was formulated, and the citrus cultivation area increased rapidly throughout the prefecture. Demand for fruit trees in Japan is generally declining and stagnant, and there is a growing tendency for small quantities to be sold as other items and for good quality. Many fruits, including mandarin oranges, are in overproduction. There are increasing demands from other countries to expand imports of fruits and fruit products. In order to achieve sound development, it is necessary to deal with the overproduction trend of fruits. Induce production that responds to trends. Fostering independent fruit tree farmers who can be the core players in the production area. And it is necessary to further strengthen the constitution of fruit tree agriculture. The system for promoting fruit tree agriculture was strengthened（Partial amendment of Law No. 15, July 1, 1985）. From NARO, the fruit of Setoka is a large fruit of 200 to 280 g, the fruit surface is smooth, and the fruit shape is oblate with a high waist. The pericarp is orange to dark orange, thin and easy to peel. It has a medium aroma similar to that of Angkor or Murcott, and has a good taste with a ripening period of February and a sugar content of 12 to 13%. The flesh is dark orange, the sac is thin, the flesh is soft and juicy, and the number of seeds is small at about 0-5. It is also characterized by its strong parthenocarpy. The tree is medium to slightly weak, and the tree is medium to open. The fruiting is good and the results are planned every year. It is strong against Elsinoë fawcettii（Wart-shaped or scab-shaped lesions on leaves, fruits, and branches. Citrus unshiu is weak and rarely occurs in midnight citrus, but lemon is weak. Wart-type lesions occur by the middle stage of spring leaf elongation, and lesions occur even after the end of elongation. Wart-type lesions form up to 1 cm in diameter in fruits, and lesions form above that.）, Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri（Occurs on leaves, green branches and fruits. The lesions on the spring leaves are initially round, pale yellow, and water-soaked spots, which later expand to cork in the central part and become rough, and the circumference 0.5 mm width is water-soaked and further around. Produces a fairly wide yellow halo. The lesions on the back of the leaves are also corked and rough, but it seems to be a light brown raised scab. In summer and autumn leaves, citrus leaf miner often invades through wounds such as feeding damage and wind sway, so it seems that lesions generally tend to form along the wound. The petioles are also easily affected and the leaves fall violently. On the fruits and green branches, water-soaked dark green lesions are formed at first, and then they become cork and become light brown raised scabs. Overwintering lesions on leaves and branches are the primary source of transmission, but lesions on treetops in summer and autumn are especially important. In addition, in Spring cankers infected at relatively low temperatures in autumn, the amount of pathogenic bacteria released is even higher than in the lesions of summer-autumn treetops, making it more important as a source of transmission. The leaves are infected with stomata from the new leaf development stage to the growth arrest stage, and then when the tissue hardens, it is infected from the wound caused by the wind and the feeding damage scars of Phyllocnistis citrella. The main infection period for spring leaves is from early May to mid-June. Following the infection of spring leaves, it seems that the infection is repeated to spring branches and summer and autumn treetops. Infection of fruits is from immediately after flower fall to late September, mainly by secondary infection from leaves. Winds and rains accompanied by strong winds with wind speeds of 6 to 8 m or more, especially typhoons in summer, are the most important factors that promote the onset of disease. There is a difference in resistance depending on the type of citrus, and I heard that Satsuma mandarin is moderate.）, is susceptible to citrus tristeza virus (CTV), and seems to have a high incidence of stem pitting. As an aside, the mid-late citrus “Setoka” seems to produce a certain amount of softened fruits with low sugar and high acidity, mainly in greenhouse cultivation. Greenhouse-grown “Setoka” is often sold as a high-class fruit in units of one, and it seems that such low-quality fruits may rarely be subject to complaints from consumers. The quality of softened fruits during the harvest period is slightly smaller than that of normal fruits, the skin color is yellow, and the skin is thin. It seems that the fruit surface is smooth and the fruit is soft. Brix in fruit juice is about 30% lower than normal fruit, and acid seems to be about 40% higher. Fruits two months before harvest, which is the coloring period, tend to be late in coloring. Regarding the details of the components in fruit juice, fructose, glucose, and sucrose that make up sugar are all low, and sucrose, which is the main sugar, is about 70% lower. In addition, the content of almost all amino acids composed is low, and the total amount of all amino acids seems to be about 30% lower. The incidence rate by fruit set site is particularly high in the inside, and it seems that it is estimated to be about 12%. The incidence of other parts is 1 to 4%, and it seems to be about 3% on average. In the fruit of softening disease, the photosynthetic product made from the leaves did not transfer from the fruit stalk (fruit axis) to the fruit by the experiment using the stable isotope of carbon, and the phloem (fruit axis) by microscopic observation. It has been confirmed that callose (β-1, 3-glucan), which is a kind of polysaccharide, is accumulated in the phloem in the fruit stalk). It seems that callose blocks the phloem and inhibits the translocation of photosynthetic products to the fruit, leading to quality deterioration. It seems that the methods to prevent the shipment of softened fruits are to remove the inner fruits as much as possible at the time of fruit picking and to pick small fruits that are late in coloring during the coloring period about 2 months before harvesting. In addition, it seems that fruits that are slightly softened by small balls that are yellowish compared to fruits with a normal appearance are excluded at the time of harvesting or home sorting. If a joint fruit sorting plant with an optical sensor is available, it seems effective to eliminate fruits with low sugar content. Consumers should choose a uniform color, a smooth surface, a glossy surface, and a bluish tint on the calyx. Also, the ones that feel heavy when you hold them are delicious with a lot of juice. The shape may be more delicious if it is flat than if it is tall. JA is a nickname for agricultural cooperatives. The symbol mark is a design that combines the green alphabets J and A, and seems to represent the image of a solid earth and a bond between people. JA is a cooperative organized for the purpose of protecting and enhancing farmers' farming and livelihoods and building a better society in the spirit of mutual aid (the spirit of people's solidarity and mutual help). It is an organization established by gathering people (union members) and sharing money (investment). JA provides agricultural management / technical guidance and lifestyle advice, as well as joint purchase of production materials / living materials, joint sales of agricultural and livestock products, acceptance of savings, lending of agricultural production funds and living funds, and necessary for agricultural production and living. It seems that they are engaged in various businesses and activities such as setting up shared facilities and mutual aid in case of emergency. Furthermore, it seems that they are engaged in activities to strengthen ties with the local community, such as welfare activities for the elderly, farming experience learning for children, and farmers' markets. It seems that JA's membership qualifications include regular members (farmers) and associate members. For this reason, I heard that even non-farmers can obtain membership qualifications as associate members and use various businesses if they pay the investment according to the enrollment procedure stipulated by each JA. The citrus fruits that bloom and bear fruit in the steep hills of the warm southwestern Shikoku, where typhoons hit, are the result of strong family farming. The goal of the mechanism to support it was the postwar specialized agricultural cooperative. As of 2016, the agricultural working population of farm household members was 1.92 million, falling below 2 million for the first time due to the progress of farmers leaving the farm, and it is said that it has decreased to nearly half compared to 20 years ago. On the other hand, the number of farm households with employers (regular employees) has increased 1.9 times compared to 10 years ago, and it seems that the composition of the labor force in the farm households has changed from household members to employers. In addition, the number of agricultural enterprises such as agricultural cooperative corporations is increasing year by year, and the number of employees in agriculture as a whole has increased 1.7 times in the last 10 years and exceeded 200,000 in 2015. Although agriculture is becoming more mechanized these days, it is becoming difficult for so-called farmers alone to maintain agricultural production, and it seems that employers have become a valuable force and leader in supporting Japanese agriculture. However, due to the declining population and the declining birthrate and aging population, it is becoming more difficult to secure human resources year by year, and the ratio of job offers to applicants in the agricultural sector has exceeded the average for all industries. To reflect these effects, it seems that the number of employees in 2017 has fallen below the previous year's level, contrary to the recent growth rate. Based on the fact that the actual situation of agriculture that has not been able to secure the necessary human resources has been highlighted, it is said that agricultural organizations and local governments are focusing their wisdom to secure stable human resources in order to break through this situation. As the agricultural working population declines, employers are said to be a valuable force to support Japanese agriculture. In the production areas, it seems that JAs with different farming seasons are building a cooperative system to deal with issues such as securing year-round work for employees and temporary labor force during the farming season. Efforts are continuing in each production area, such as JA Nishiuwa, to secure a labor force by utilizing diverse human resources including foreign human resources. In addition to the alliance with JA Koshimizu (head office location: Koshimizu, Koshimizu Town, Shari District, Hokkaido), JA Nishiuwa has two production areas with different farming seasons, Furano Agricultural Cooperative, and Okinawa Prefecture Agriculture as one of the efforts to secure a labor force. In cooperation with the cooperative, it seems that they are working on mutual introduction and information sharing of farmers (albiters, helpers, workers). For the production area, it leads to the stable securing of work skills and highly conscious human resources, and for the farmers, it seems that it is an initiative that is beneficial to both sides, such as reducing the labor of searching for the next job and the burden of hiring. When accepting farmers, I hear that improving the working environment by improving the working environment, such as securing accommodations and improving the acceptance system based on communication with farmers, has led to securing repeaters. By securing supporters in collaboration with other production areas, we will eliminate the labor-intensive mandarin orange harvesting work and the aging of producers. JA Nishiuwa covers parts of Ikata Town, Yawatahama City, and Seiyo City, Ehime Prefecture, and has a total area of 26km2, with a cultivation rate of approximately 20.2%, and 95.8% of the total cultivated land, centered on Satsuma mandarin and 中晩柑; Medium late-ripening citrus. It seems that fruit trees are being cultivated. Within the jurisdiction, it has one of the leading brands of Citrus unshiu, such as Nishiuwa mandarin and Maana mandarin, and is a leader in the citrus kingdom of Ehime prefecture, producing about half of the Citrus unshiu mandarin in Ehime prefecture as a whole. Due to the extremely high weight of the citrus sector, the busy season of agricultural work in the jurisdiction peaks from November to December when the harvest of Satsuma mandarin begins, and continues until the beginning of April when the harvest of midnight citrus ends. According to JA Nishiuwa, among the cultivation of these citrus fruits, labor saving by sprinklers is progressing for management work, but for harvesting, it is necessary to determine the optimum harvest time and handle the fruits carefully, so we have to rely on human power. It seems that it will not be obtained and will be a bottleneck for expansion. As of 2014, the age composition of farmers in the jurisdiction exceeded 60%, and the number of farm households was 579 houses between 2006 and 2015, with an average annual decline of over 60 households. In addition, relatives and local acquaintances who came to help with the harvest are also aging, and it seems that it is becoming more difficult to secure a labor force during the harvest season. JA Nishiuwa seems to have begun to secure a labor force during the farming season from an early stage due to the sense of crisis that it will be difficult to maintain the production area if the labor force continues to decline. Since 1994, it seems that it has been conducting a “mandarin orange arbiter recruitment project” that recruits mandarin orange arbiters from all over the country and engages in harvesting work for about 40 to 50 days during the farming season. Furthermore, in 2014, we launched the “Nishiuwa Mikan Support Team” consisting of prefectures, municipalities, agricultural committees, and jurisdictions, providing information to applicants and providing comprehensive support for farming and farming. It seems that the parties concerned are working together to secure a labor force during the farming season and to secure, train, and retain the leaders. Also, in 2015, it is said that the accommodation facility Mandarin will be in place. The number of employees employed by the mandarin orange arbiter business mentioned above has increased year by year from 32 in 1994 and has increased to 287 in 2018, but it seems that the number has not yet reached the number requested by producers. In order to secure more arbiters, we interviewed arbiters from all over the country, such as "where did you work before" and “where will you go after this?” It seems that they have been actively recruiting in other production areas, such as going directly to the city to distribute and post leaflets and hold recruitment briefings. In the jurisdiction, we do not think of arbiters as a mere labor force, but to have them revitalize the region by interacting with producers and the region, to let them know the charm of Ehime, and to become a fan of Nishiuwa oranges. Was the purpose from the beginning. It seems that this attitude is pervading each producer on the receiving side, which leads to the enrichment of local life for arbiters and is one of the attractions other than wages. From April 2019, it seems that the movement regarding the utilization of foreign human resources has reached a major turning point. The amendment to the Immigration Control and Refuge Law has created new status of residence for foreigners in 14 industrial fields where labor shortages are becoming more serious, making it possible to accept foreigners as workers. In the agricultural sector, the government seems to have expected to accept up to 36,000 people in five years. Under this system, there is no limit to the number of people that can be accepted per business establishment, the range of work that can be engaged is expanded, and employment in the form of dispatch is also permitted. In addition, it is possible to change jobs, and it seems that foreigners who are hired have a higher degree of freedom in working styles than the technical intern training system. Some have been considering accepting it from the previous year, and it was expected that it would start accepting it by the end of the year, but it seems uncertain that the path is unclear due to the corona virus around the world. Now, let me introduce a little about the wonderful jurisdiction (production area). “Yawatahama City”, Ehime Prefecture”, It is located in the western part of the prefecture, at the base of the Cape Sadamisaki Peninsula, with a total area of 132.65 km2. The north faces the Seto Inland Sea, and the east is Ozu City. Adjacent to Seiyo City in the south and Ikata Town in the west. The southern half of the west side is for Kyushu across the Bungo Channel (Uwa sea). The coastline forms a rias coastline（A submergent coastline with a complex narrow bay.）. Scenic landscape.City flower: Narcissus L. (1753)（Narcissus tazetta bulb）, It grows naturally in the mountains throughout the city, and the fragrance and appearance of the flowers symbolize the city. The place name is from the Yoro era (717-724), and it is said that the origin is that Hachiman Ogami（From samurai families nationwide, such as Seiwa Genji and Kanmu Taira, the god of luck (the god of martial arts) “Yumiya Hachiman”） was erected on the beach of this place. The district was based on the delta area of the Senjo River that runs through the center, and reclamation work was already carried out during the Tensho era (1573-1592). Since then, the city has been expanded from sea to sea due to repeated landfills. Goby（Gobioidei）cultivation and shipping industry have been active in the former Honai area since the Edo period. In the Meiji era, commerce and industry such as mining, shipping, and spinning developed under the new government's policy of promoting the breeding industry. “The development of the wholesale market for marine products and the expansion of production of mandarin oranges and other citrus fruits”. After World War II, the fishing industry developed dramatically and is famous as a base for the trawl fishery. After that, while expanding the facility as a connecting port connecting Kyushu and Shikoku, the production of citrus fruits, mainly mandarin oranges, will become the main crop of the city. In the latter half of the 1970s, the fish market facilities in Okishinden were improved and it became a popular marine product distribution base. From 1980, the Nanyo Water Supply Authority started supplying water supply, and the water shortage in summer was alleviated. On March 28, 2005, the former Yawatahama City and the former Honai Town will be added to create a new Yawatahama City. “Ikata Town, Nishiuwa District”, Located on the Sadamisaki Peninsula, the westernmost tip of Shikoku. The Uwa Sea side in the south forms a coast with gentle white sand, and the Seto Inland Sea side in the north forms a ria coast. People's lives are alive in beautiful nature. Known as a hometown blessed with a warm oceanic climate with an annual average temperature of 16 ° C. In order to inherit and nurture this hometown full of warm humanity and pass it on to tomorrow, each of us strives to create a city full of vitality and moisture. The towns of Nishiuwa District (Ikata, Seto, Misaki) merged on April 1, 2005. It is famous as a city of primary industries, mainly agriculture and fisheries. Mandarin oranges and other sweet potatoes are cultivated in terraced fields of masonry inherited from predecessors on steep lands and fields carved out on steep mountain slopes. Lively fish such as horse mackerel and mackerel are landed throughout the year. In the Uwakai, it is said that “dried young sardines fishing” by drift nets is actively carried out.etc. “Seiyo City, Ehime Prefecture”, Located in the southern part of the prefecture.
