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).

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): ...

In the Yatsushiro area, winter-spring tomatoes were designated as designated production areas in 1966, and summer-autumn tomatoes were designated as designated production areas in 1978, and the shipment volume of tomatoes by municipality was the highest in Japan. Spring tomatoes have been cultivated for a long time, but modernization of facility cultivation has made it possible to accelerate the planting time, and it seems that the production of winter tomatoes has exceeded the production of spring tomatoes since around 1970. The history of tomato production in the Yatsushiro area seems to have started around 1953. The JA Gunchiku Horticultural Club was established around 1961. It is a historic subcommittee that has been leading the production of tomatoes in Kumamoto, and is still developing. Tomatoes are loved all over the world as nutritious vegetables and are one of the excellent vegetables that are indispensable to the table. In Japan, along with the westernization of food after the war, cultivation technology has developed and breeding has progressed, resulting in a large increase in consumption. The acreage and shipment volume increased along with the large-scale consumption, and the designated production area in 2020 was the core supply production area, which accounted for 51% of the nationwide acreage and 65% of the nationwide shipment volume. From winter to spring, production areas such as Kumamoto, Tochigi, and Aichi prefectures are famous. For half a century, the Yatsushiro area of Kumamoto Prefecture has become the number one tomato kernel supply base in Japan by expanding the introduction of facility horticultural greenhouses, improving cultivation techniques, and improving fruit sorting plants while utilizing the vegetable price stabilization system. Is making an effort in Japanese agriculture. Approximately 80% of shipments utilize the vegetable price stabilization system, and while there are issues such as aging, labor shortages, and increased costs such as labor costs and transportation costs, the vegetable price stabilization system addresses price fluctuation risks. At the same time, we are promoting initiatives such as acquiring GAP, measuring and selling the functional ingredient lycopene: C40H56, introducing environmental control technology, and strengthening the acceptance system for foreign skill trainees, aiming for a production area of choice for consumers and actual consumers.

It is said that about 502 years ago, Iwasaki Shimenokami TADAHISA-Ko of Yatsushiro's Agetsuchi lord of a castle encouraged rush cultivation in the territory. The Iwasaki Shrine, which enshrines Prince Iwasaki, was built on the ruins of the castle, and seems to be gathering the worship of local residents. Most of the Yatsushiro Plain is reclaimed land and is blessed with water, so the area is known all over the world as Japan's number one rush producing area. For a while, the production volume decreased significantly due to the influence of cheap Juncus decipiens produced in foreign countries, but while Japanese culture is being reviewed again, we are working on breeding and developing new rush products to create a new living space. It seems that food development based on utilization and health consciousness is being actively carried out. Products using rush are used not only for cushions, coasters, bags, Japanese traditional paper, but also for interiors and foods, and it seems...

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...
