The OMI chairman of the Japanese government's subcommittee, who had a press conference after the meeting on February 4, 2022 (proposals for measures based on the characteristics of the Omicron strain, which has a rapid spread of infection), was over 2 years old in the original proposal. As a result of the discussion about the fact that the child was “recommended to wear a mask to the extent possible”, he said that the age of the child was not specified. It seems that the discussion was quite active on this point. Initially, there was an opinion that the age of “2 years old” was used as the standard, but in particular, several committee members in the clinical field of pediatrics pointed out that the developmental situation differs depending on the child and that it cannot be grouped by age. As a result, it was explained that the subcommittee agreed on that opinion. In the initial proposal, in response to a request from the National Governor's Association, it is “recommended to the extent possible” for children over 2 years old to wear masks. However, as a result of discussions, the proposal did not specify the age of children who are recommended to wear masks. In addition, Omicron strain (one of the "variant of concern (VOC)” of the new coronavirus. “Delta strain (B.1.617.2 strain)” WHO released SARS-CoV on November 24, 2021. -2 Variant of concern B.1.1.529 strains were classified as Variant Under Monitoring (VUM) (WHO: Tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants), but changes in virus characteristics on November 26, the same year. In consideration of the possibility of this, the name was changed to “Variant of Concern (VOC)” (WHO: Classification of Omicron (B.1.1.529)). 2021 11 On March 26, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases announced a notable Variant of Concerns based on evaluations of PANGO strains classified as B.1.1.529 strains based on changes in infectivity / transmission and antigenicity. Positioned as Interest; VOI and started strengthening the monitoring system. On November 28, 2021, the position of the B.1.1.529 system was changed to the VOC of concern based on the update of overseas information and domestic risk assessment. Compared to the reference strain, the Omicron strain seems to have about 30 amino acid substitutions in the spike protein, 3 small deletions and 1 insertion site. Of these, 15 Some mutations are present in Receptor binding protein (RBD); residues 319-541. Since some of the spike proteins are deleted (Δ69-70), only the PCR of the S gene is negative. failure; There seems to be a method used in some countries to distinguish between Delta and Omicron strains using what is called SGTF.) After analyzing the cases of characteristic clusters in schools and childcare. However, the measures required for facilities for the elderly were shown. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States uses a case-control study (test-negative design) to show that Omicron strains are also used in areas where double-vaccination rates for the onset of Omicron strains and Delta strain infections are high. Since the rapid spread of infection in the city is recognized, and the third inoculation (booster inoculation) is expected to recover the onset of Omicron strain and the effect of preventing hospitalization, the third inoculation (booster inoculation) may be performed at an early stage depending on the local situation. It is necessary to consider booster inoculation). In addition, I hear that it is important to continue to secure vaccination opportunities for those who have not been vaccinated to prevent aggravation.

“Osaka Blue Ocean Vision: Shared at the G20 Osaka Summit in June 2019” referred to in the draft basic policy for promoting the promotion of resource recycling related to plastics comprehensively and systematically is It is worthy of evaluation, declared by the G20(The countries and regions are United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada, EU, Russia, People's Republic of China, India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, Republic of Korea, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Argentina.)leaders, led by the Government of Japan, to aim to reduce the additional pollution from marine plastic waste to zero in the world. However, in the “Sustainable Development Goals SDGs” adopted at the 2015 United Nations Summit, in Target 14.1 to prevent and reduce marine pollution, “contamination including marine deposits and eutrophication, especially pollution by land activities, etc.” , Preventing and significantly reducing all types of marine pollution has a deadline of 2025. Nevertheless, the deadline for reducing the outflow to zero is set to 2050, which is equivalent to substantially withdrawing the target deadline for the SDGs of 2025. The “Plastic Resource Recycling Strategy” by the Ministry of the Environment is one of the priority strategies for comprehensively promoting the resource recycling of plastics, and it is appropriately demonstrated through evaluation of environmental and ethical aspects and the decomposition function of biodegradable plastics. While organizing the scenes (composting, biogasification, etc.) and recycling harmony, we have formulated a “bioplastic introduction roadmap” that corresponds to the application and materials in detail, and proceeded with the introduction together with the vein system management. At the same time, it is stated that the maximum introduction of biomass plastic (about 2 million tons) will be achieved by 2030 by promoting the understanding and cooperation of all layers of the people. Ehime Plastic Resource Recycling Strategy: Plastic Waste Countermeasures Advanced Prefecture Ehime Branding (Improvement of Regional Image, Revitalization of Local Industries, etc.): 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) + Renewable (Sustainable Resources), One-Way Plastic Products, etc. Streamline the use of waste and thoroughly reduce the amount of wasted resources. Appropriately switch raw materials such as plastic products to recycled materials and renewable resources (paper, biomass plastic, etc.). Use plastic products for as long as possible. After use, it is thoroughly separated and collected through an effective and efficient recycling system for recycling. (Including recycling by recycling and energy utilization by heat recovery when technically and economically difficult) Assuming 3R efforts and proper waste disposal, marine pollution due to outflow of plastic waste will not occur. Aiming to prevent littering and illegal dumping, and promoting cleaning activities to prevent the outflow of plastics into the ocean. In addition, we prevent marine pollution by grasping the actual situation of marine waste and promoting appropriate collection of coastal debris. In order to make the efforts listed in the priority strategy effective and effective, the citizens of the prefecture, such as the government (prefectures / municipalities), companies / organizations, etc., are proactive and independent based on the item of “concrete efforts of each entity”. It seems that they will actively cooperate and collaborate to implement a wide range of initiatives. In order to grasp the progress of the performance index, it seems that five performance indicators (such as “the number of stores participating in the eco-friendly shopping campaign”) will be set and the progress will be inspected and evaluated.

【Product Name】
Ehime Miyauchi Iyokan
【Type】
Citrus iyo

Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture, Kihoku Town, Kitauwa District, Matsuno Town, Ainan Town, Minamiuwa District (Ehime Minami Agricultural Cooperative, JA Zen-Noh Ehime)
【Derived from the name】
Miyauchi Iyokan was discovered in 1955 from one branch of Citrus Iyo in the mandarin orange garden run by Mr. Yoshimasa MIYAUCHI, and based on this branch, seedlings were cultivated by grafting and efforts were made to cultivate it. , It seems that it turned out to be a bud mutation with very good traits. After that, a survey by the Ehime Prefectural Fruit Tree Experiment Station and the Onsen Fruit and Vegetable Agricultural Cooperative (currently Ehime Central Agricultural Cooperative) confirmed its excellence. The seedlings were registered with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and it seems that they have been attracting attention nationwide. Compared to the conventional iyokan (species of citrus fruit, Citrus iyo), its characteristics are abundant, less biennial results, ripening about 20 days earlier, more fruiting, larger fruits, and softer flesh. It seems that there is a lot of fruit juice, the skin is thin and dark orange, glossy and beautiful, and the number of seeds is small. Miyauchi iyokan (species of citrus fruit, Citrus iyo) is cultivated not only in Ehime prefecture but also in other prefectures, and seems to be well received.
【Major features】
Currently, most of the Citrus iyo cultivated in Japan is a variety called “Miyauchi iyokan”, and its share seems to be about 90% of the total. As I mentioned earlier, it started in 1955. It is said that he, who was cultivating citrus fruits in Hiratamachi, Matsuyama City, noticed the change of branches due to spontaneous mutation; and raised them. After that, it is one size larger than the conventional Iyokan, and the flesh tends to be soft and sweet. In addition, it has been found to be a variety that is good for producers when it can be harvested in large quantities and ripen quickly. Iyokan was originally born as the eldest son of Mr. Masamichi Nakamura (Hagi feudal retainer or warrior) in Chinto, Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It seems that a private silkworm training center was established near his home, but the year of establishment is unknown. In 1892, Sung Chinto (commonly known as Mr. Heijiro NODA), who had been exiled from Korea, came to Hagi to rely on him. After that, many people who wanted to learn silkworm technology came from Korea, and the technology was spread to his place. In 1919, he and Mr. Kinzaburo KADA, a businessman from Hagi, and Tsubaki. Township Higashibun Village (currently Hagi City Chinto) Established Yamaguchi Prefecture's first silk mill in Ueno. During this time, he served as a county council member and a prefectural council member. He also runs a farm such as an apple orchard and died in the mirror castle that he moved to in 1930. The remains are buried at the Nakamura family graveyard at Ryuzoji Temple in Nakamura, Hagi City. There seems to be a garden lantern dedicated by.) It is a fruit called Anado Oranges discovered by. Even if it has the name Iyo, it seems that it was a fruit from Yamaguchi prefecture. Mr. Yasunori MIYOSHI, the son of village headman in Mochida, brought back this fruit to grow in Matsuyama. He used the money at that time for 50 yen, and now he spends about 5 million yen to buy saplings. It seems that the seedlings brought back from Hagi were spliced ​​and distributed free of charge to nearby farmers. Mr. Miyoshi is a pioneer of agriculture in Japan, who has been involved in the cultivation of pears, peaches and apples, and has contributed to the spread of fruit horticulture, with the aim of cultivating various fruits other than iyokan. He has a lot of hobbies, and at that time he went to high collar and was riding a bicycle in 1897. It seems that Iyokan, which was supposed to be an excellent citrus fruit at that time, had a problem that it had a bad fruit, but Mr. yasunori seems to have opened the way for Iyokan specialization in Ehime. Mr. Umekichi KOIKE of the Shingon sect Chisan school Taisanji Temple, Mr. Nadamu KUTSUNA of Nishinakajima Yoshiki (Nakajima Town), etc. An old grower, he continues to this day thanks to the efforts and thoughts of his predecessors. “Iyokan” spread to Hojo City and Nakajima, centering on the Jokita area (Shiomi, Wake, Horie) in the northern part of Matsuyama City, and the formation of production areas was promoted. The old country name of Ehime prefecture, “Iyo”, was unraveled and named, “Iyokan”. The varieties found in Mr. Yoshimasa Miyauchi's field are named after the discoverer. He was transformed from a salaryman to a fruit farmer, and it was a great discovery for about five years, a century. Entrusting the future to the younger generation, how did he live for about 86 years from his birth on January 30, 1914 to 2011, and what did he want for the future of Japan? I would like to ask, but he is no longer there. 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. Quoted from “Uwa Fruit and Vegetable Agricultural Cooperative Eighty Years of History” written by this prestigious Citrus Agricultural Cooperative. What can be drawn from it is the inseparability of credit business and agricultural cooperative management. And it seems that the use of agricultural cooperatives by union members supports the management of agricultural cooperatives and creates resources for management. It is the practice of a wide range of general agricultural cooperatives that this has been operated as a self-evident reason. It is a well-known fact that the Heisei Agricultural Cooperative Wide Area Merger prior to the merger of cities, towns and villages was to prepare for financial liberalization. Today's issue is how to organize future financial business and agricultural cooperative management under the continuation of the ultra-low interest rate policy. There seems to be a good chance that the financial business-dependent business model of the Agricultural Cooperative will no longer work. How different is the agency fee from the current credit business profit? Considering the mechanism of the general agricultural cooperative, it is desirable to run the credit business concurrently. In order to expand the farming business, it is necessary to maintain a mechanism that can contribute to the financing of farmers. I heard that the “Tachima Citrus Sales Association” was established by producers in the former Tachima Village in Kitauwa District in 1919, and the Uwa Citrus Industry Association was established in 1914. After that, in 1929, the Uwa Mandarin Sales and Purchasing Association was established. The following year, “Uwa Mandarin Sales Tokyo Business Trip Worker” was dispatched to Tokyo. The Uwa Mandarin Industry Association has achieved production guidance and improved the spread of shipping sorting standards, but it seems that it did not change the transaction form between producers and merchants in the production area. He says that the union organization was a mixture of producers and merchants. Even after the establishment of this union, it seems that the merchants were in control of dealings with the central market. Following the establishment of the sales and purchase association, there was a fierce battle between producers and merchants toward the revision of the articles of incorporation of the trade association, and as a result, I heard that all the tangerines of the trade association will be sold on consignment through the sales and purchase association. There is. During this time, political intervention seems to have been unreasonable. The difference between general agricultural cooperatives and specialized agricultural cooperatives. The financial management of the agricultural cooperative itself guarantees the permanence of the operation, and when the agricultural cooperative law was enacted in 1947, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry was asked what the necessity should be for the credit business and the associate membership system of the single cooperative. Going forward, the JA jurisdiction is centered on urbanized areas, and is formed of a wide variety of terrain, from coastal fishing village areas to mountainous complex agricultural areas, on April 1, 1997. Seven JAs (1 city, 9 towns and 2 villages) in the Uwajima area merged, and JA Ehime-Minami, the largest in the Nanyo area of ​​Ehime prefecture, launched with the catchphrase “Treasure contact and nurture with you.” From the perspective of next-generation measures, we are working to create a place for agricultural experience in order to convey the importance of agriculture, food safety and security to children. In addition, children are proud of their hometown and agriculture and aim to foster a rich heart. Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture, Located in the southwestern part of the prefecture. Seiyo City in the north, Kihoku Town and Matsuno Town in the east, and Ainan Town in the south. Next to it, it borders Sukumo City and Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture. The west faces the Uwa Sea, followed by a typical ria coast where coves and peninsulas are intricately interlaced., 5つの有人島(嘉島, 九島, 竹ヶ島, 戸島, 日振島)と, 多くの無人島(御五神島, 沖の島, 黒島, 佐島, 高島, 契島, 遠戸島, 野島, 横島)がある. The Onigajo mountain range on the east side has a steep slope approaching the sea and has a complex terrain with many undulations. Urban areas and settlements are scattered in the coastal plains and inland basins. Most of the rivers flow into the Uwa Sea. Above all, the Mima River joins the clear stream Shimanto River and flows to Kochi Prefecture. The east and west including the manned island is 38.15 km, the north and south is 34.94 km, and the area is 468.19 km2. Forests account for about 70% of the total.The climate is located between the Setouchi area and the Pacific coast area. The average annual temperature is 16 to 17 ° C, which is warm throughout the four seasons, and precipitation is high in the summer. It is said that it may exceed 2,500 mm per year in the year when the influence of the rainy season front and the passage of typhoons are frequent. The west side faces the Bungo Channel, and the east side is lined with 1,000 m-class monsoons, so the northwest monsoon blows in winter. Differences in temperature and precipitation can be seen between the coastal areas and mountainous areas, and the mountainous areas have various climates with snow and freezing. “Kihoku Town, Kitauwa District”, Located in the southwestern part of the prefecture. One town and one village in the former Hiromi Town and the former Hiyoshi Village: Merged in January 2005. The east borders Yusuhara Town and Shimanto Town in Kochi Prefecture. With a total area of ​​241.87 km2, it is famous as a typical mountainous area surrounded by 1,000-meter-class mountains. The largest tributary of the clear stream Shimanto River: Hiromi River(Famous for fishing Plecoglossus altivelis (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846) in summer, eels(Anguillidae)and crabs(Brachyura Linnaeus, 1758)in autumn. The river that flows out of the headwater takes in many streams, and the amount of water and the width of the river gradually increase. Join the Oyado River and Mima River on the way. It joins the shimanto river at Ekawasaki and flows from Tosa Bay (Shimanto City) into the Pacific Ocean.)Narukawakeikoku(It has its headwaters at Mt. Takatsuki and Umegasei Pass. It is located upstream of the Nara River and has a large amount of water, forming a wonderful canyon for about 3 km.), which is designated as Ashizuri - Uwakai National Park(Born in 1955 as Ashizuri National Monument. It has been additionally designated as the Uwakai area and the Marine Park area. It became a national park in 1972. A major feature is the varied landscape consisting of the coastal area including islands in the southwestern part of shikoku and the mountains in the inland area at an altitude of 1,000 m. In the Ashizuri area, cliffs with developed marine terraces continue, and subtropical marine life and coral communities benefiting from the Kuroshio Current can be seen. The Uwakai area is attractive for its delicate coves and island landscapes on the subsidence coast. You can enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery centered on soft coral(Among the animals that grow by preying on plankton in the sea with polyps as a member of coral, it is a soft object unlike reef-building coral.). In the inland area, natural forests such as giant trees such as Sciadopity, cryptomeria japonica, and Japanese cypress are left behind. It seems that you can see the vertical distribution of vegetation from warm temperate to cool temperate. Nametoko valley upstream of the Shimanto River: A series of waterfalls represented by the smooth riverbed of granite and the Yukiwa Falls. The shore forests such as Quercus salicina and Machilus thunbergii are beautiful and attract tourists.). Blessed with tourism resources based on abundant nature. “Matsuno Town, Kitauwa District”, It is located in the southwestern part of the prefecture and in the eastern part of Kitauwa District. It is a mountainous town that borders Kochi prefecture, and is famous as the smallest town in the prefecture. 84% of the town soil is forest. The abundant water flowing through the highly transparent Meguro River is a treasure trove of wild eels and a thumb-size river crab. The former Mtsumaru Highway, which used to be a key point of the Tosa Highway, prospered as a place for logistics and trade, and its townscape is still preserved. The medieval castle “Kagomori Castle” has been certified as a national historic site. It continues to be preserved and handed down as a city of history and culture. Agriculture and forestry, which is the core industry, has problems such as a shortage of successors due to the outflow of young people. However, it is said that it is making great efforts to promote peaches, citrons, plums, tea, etc., as well as paddy rice, which is the main crop. Deai slip: A mysterious pattern can be seen on the surface of the red granite weathered with a smooth, slippery water pattern. The flow of water on the slippery rocks feels the richness of nature and the vast time. Close to the Mannen Bridge, it is a place of relaxation for families and lovers, and is endlessly visited by painters and photographers as motifs. Senjyoshiki: Heals the tired body, and in the early summer when it is fresh green, the sunlight through the trees reflects the green color on the pale water surface. The nametoko highway where Ume crosses the Narutoge is a steep mountain road trip. Yukiwanotaki: Go through a forest of trees and climb a steep mountain path along the valley for about an hour(A ring of light snow-melted water flows fluently.). The snow ring waterfall waits for visitors while drawing ripples like a snow ring on a gentle slope. The green of the grove is dyed dark green over the entire valley where the deep mountains are piled up. The light shines dazzlingly, and the high sound of clear water echoes in the forest. Nature seems to be alive in the water flowing on the beautiful sliding rock surface, the clear blue sky, and the forest of the sliding floor. When the stream of water meets the “Shimanto River” and travels far to the Pacific Ocean. etc. “Ainan Town, Minamiuwa District”, I hope that the people who live here will love Town, love Region and people, and everyone will help each other and become a healthy city. Former 5 towns and villages (Uchiumi village, Misho town, Jyohen town, Ipponmatsu town, Nishiumi town): Born on October 1, 2004 by merger. An area blessed with a natural environment facing the Bungo Channel in the west, with a view of the Pacific Ocean with the Kuroshio Current in the south. In the northern part of MinamiUwa District, there is the Sasayama branch of the Ipponmatsu area, which branches off from the Shikoku Mountains. A plain is opened in the basin of the Sozu River, and the Mishou area and the Jyohen area are formed in this plain. Ashizuri-Uwakai National Park : Uchiumi, Mishou, Jyohen and Nishiumi areas : It is blessed with abundant nature and is benefiting from the fishing industry and tourism. Warm throughout the season, with a lot of rain during the rainy season and a South Sea climate. The beautiful scenery created by the ria coast is soothing. It is blessed with marine resources such as pearl oyster, which boasts the highest production and harvest in Japan, and bonito, which boasts the highest landing volume in Shikoku. Coral and tropical fish inhabit the waters around Kashima (Hojo). Also famous for scuba diving. Received the “Beautiful Village Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award” from Japan : NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FISHERIES INFRASTRUCTURE:Stone wall village, 100 selections of historical and cultural assets of fishing villages that you want to keep in the future : Fisheries Agency, Ancient city preservation foundation etc. : 100 beautiful historical climates of Japan. Valuable historical assets such as archaeological sites and historic sites such as the Heijo shell mound remain. Last but not least, JA's only ferry operated by JA closed the curtain in 1964. The route connecting Uwajima and Kushima in Ehime Prefecture was literally a foothold for people living on the island.  With the opening of “Kushima Ohashi” on April 3, 2016, her last service was completed. This ferry was transferred from a private company by the former Kushima Agricultural Cooperative in 1951, spun off from JA Ehimeminami in 1998, and operated by its subsidiary Ehime Minami Kisen Co., Ltd.  Kushima seems to be about 15 minutes by ferry from Uwajima Port. Fruit trees such as mandarin oranges and fishing are thriving, and the ferry seems to have been the only regular route connecting the island and Uwajima. The population of the island used to be over 200, but now it has dropped to around 1000. For this reason, the number of users decreased and the deficit continued, and it was operated while receiving subsidies from the government, but it has been dismissed due to the opening of Kushima Ohashi. Philip Morris Japan GK (Headquarters: Nagata Town, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, 22nd floor of Sanno Park Tower. PMJ opened in Japan in 1985. Since its inception, it has grown steadily, has approximately 1,900 employees nationwide, and has a share of approximately 37.1% in the Japanese tobacco market. It is the second largest tobacco company in Japan that leads the heated tobacco market. (As of the end of 2020). Toward the realization of a smoke-free society, which is the corporate vision, “RRP-Reduced-Risk Products : Potential for risk reduction” rather than cigarettes. The product) is a product that has less, is expected, or may have less risk of harm to adult smokers who switch to the product compared to continuing to smoke cigarettes. It seems that the word is used to refer to. It seems that there are various RRPs at different stages such as development, scientific evaluation, and commercialization. RRP does not burn tobacco leaves, so it seems that there are various RRPs. It seems that the amount of harmful and harmful components contained in the generated aerosol (steam) is much smaller than the amount contained in cigarette smoke.) We are accelerating our business activities. PMI: Post-merger integration(A complex process that combines and reorganizes businesses to achieve potential efficiencies and synergies that typically motivate mergers and acquisitions.)is a scientifically proven alternative product that is meaningful to society in general and to various stakeholders from a public health perspective for adult smokers who continue to use tobacco products with the aim of realizing a “smoke-free society.” We are promoting “transformation” in the tobacco industry with the aim of switching all cigarettes to smoke-free products. It is famous as a global tobacco company with more than 71,000 diverse employees from all over the world. In addition, it seems that it is marketing and promoting Philip Morris products such as heat-not-burn tobacco “IQOS”, Marlboro, Lark(I've been using it for about 20 years, even when I'm not smoking.), Parliament, Virginia Slims. Due to the risks associated with smoking, regulators appear to have imposed stricter regulations and higher taxes on cigarettes than other consumer goods.), A brand homepage for “supporting sales promotion of Uwajima citrus fruits through the Internet” has been established. In this initiative, JA Ehime Minami, the representative of Uwajima citrus producers, will convey the appeal of a wide variety of Uwajima citrus fruits to consumers nationwide through online information dissemination and sales, and improve the citrus brand in the Uwajima region. It seems that they are aiming for.

The name of Iyokan is described by the name Mr. Kakutaro Kono in “Poncirus trifoliata”. I was confused with Iyo's Satsuma mandarin and won, so there was an opinion that I should change the name, and I agree with that point. It was early February 1930, just before I went to Tokyo to visit the Tokyo market. It seems that he thought it was a problem when he heard that he had already started printing after changing the name to Iyo-ponkan. It seems that the name was a discussion between Mr. Hajime FUJIWARA, who was the chief engineer of the Iyo Fruit Industry Association, and several other growers.

The famous logo mark on JA Ehime's cardboard (packaging), “(Frozen) Mikan, Lemon” of the Japan Patent Office trademark registration number 1991244 under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, is Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo: National Agricultural Cooperative Association. The Society filed an application for registration in 1978 and was registered in 1987. 

Citrus fruits that bloom and bear fruit on the steep hills of the warm regions of southwestern Shikoku, where typhoons hit the area, are the result of strong family farming. It seems that the goal of the mechanism to support it was the postwar specialized agricultural cooperative. What can be drawn from glory and tragedy is the inseparability of credit business and agricultural cooperative management. In addition, the use of agricultural cooperatives by union members supports the management of agricultural cooperatives and creates resources for management. It seems that it was a wide range of general agricultural cooperatives that had been operated as a self-evident reason. There will be a difference between general agricultural cooperatives and specialized agricultural cooperatives as to what will happen to reproduction in the following year when the prices of agricultural products of union members continue to fall. The financial management of the agricultural cooperative itself guarantees the permanence of the operation, and when the agricultural cooperative law was enacted in 1947, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry at that time insisted on the necessity of the credit business and the associate membership system of the single cooperative. The continuation of the current ultra-low interest rate policy is for the sake of overcoming deflation, economic recovery, and future children, but it is impossible for financial institutions to run out of breath. There is no doubt that the successful post-war history of being able to take advantage of the disadvantages of a huge population in a resource-poor and small land is already over. Frightened by the catch-up of latecomer industrialized countries and the appreciation of the yen, fiscal discipline was abandonment (a new guideline for economic and fiscal management decided by the Japanese government on June 18, 2021. The expression used in the common name of the basic policy on public finance announced by the Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy, but also used under the Abe administration, which was born in December 2012. “Position as economic and financial management and basic strategy for” is stated in 2025, and the goal of turning the national and local basic fiscal balance (primary balance: PB) into the black is “maintaining”. However, it can only be said to be a stupid measure.) The current situation is that the increase in the issuance of currencies and government bonds cannot be stopped. Who can take responsibility for this ending and how can it be taken? What are you going to do to secure food when the yen collapses? For politicians involved in the current administration, the only job is to be prepared and to give happiness to Japan's future agriculture and all the people. I want you to inspire without fear of win or lose: 伸るか反るか(Leave the success or failure to heaven and take the plunge)opinions and conflicts.

With the liberation of agricultural land after the war, the Kainan group changed to a nursery for the prefectural citrus trial seian fruit tree branch, and over time it seems that there is no sign of it now. However, his footsteps that have blown the wind of innovation into the land of three days remain firmly. Along with Yaemon Yamada, who brought back Kishu MIKAN saplings in the middle of the Edo period and became the founder of citrus cultivation on the shores of Lake Hamana, and Gonbei KATO, who introduced today's Satsuma mandarin from Mikawa in the late Edo period, every fall as the three major benefactors of Mikkabi MIKAN. It seems that the people concerned are grateful in front of the monument at the encomium festival (praise of merit). From the Horticultural Department of the Agricultural Experiment Station of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce (currently the Institute of Fruit Tree Science, Shizuoka City), the Kainan Group Farm (the base of the citrus garden development project invested by Takakiyo MITSUI of the conglomerate Mitsui family) It seems that the full-time engineer, Sotaro Nakagawa, taught not only the cultivation technique of mandarin oranges. How to sell the oranges you made. Until then, it was left to the hands of the purchaser, and it seemed that it was unthinkable for a farmer who was devoted to field work. At that time, many of the autumn plants he practiced were purchased from farmers who were abandoned one after another, and it seems that harvesting was quick if the weakened trees were restored. Only four years after the reclamation, in 1924, he traded the harvested oranges by weight with a trader called from Mikawa. Nowadays, it is common sense, but until then, it seems that most of the mandarin oranges on the farm were sold in the mountains before harvesting, or in the standing trees, which were sold for each fruit tree. It was like a wholesale purchases of rice for rice, and he was familiar with the disadvantages of the seller, saying, “Why do you buy the rice in the rice field in anticipation of the yield?” Do you sell it to no avail? It seems that the young mandarin orange farmers who were fascinated by him and deepened their strong solidarity acted quickly. From its development, it will lead to the present and support the region and Japanese agriculture.

Due to the influence of the new coronavirus in April-August 2021, 701 students dropped out of national, public and private universities, junior colleges, and colleges of technology nationwide, an increase of 316 from the same period of the previous year, 1.8 times higher. Is known from a survey by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The percentage of all students is 0.02%. As of the end of August 2021, the number of students taking a leave of absence due to the new corona was 4,418, an increase of 17,41 from the same period of the previous year. The number of dropouts from April to August, including circumstances other than the new Corona, was 11,862, accounting for 0.40% of all students. The main reasons are financial difficulties, maladaptation of student life, and decreased motivation to study. The number of dropouts in 2020 was 57,913, of which 2024 were affected by the new Corona. Regarding scholarships, as of September 30, 2021 (results of the university daytime survey (preliminary figures) for the 2020 Student Life Survey), Japan Student Services Organization: JASSO (Kudankita, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo) is biennial. We are conducting continuous investigations. It seems that the finalized values ​​for the daytime part of the university and the survey results for the nighttime part of the university, junior college, and graduate school will be announced after March 2022. According to the survey results, the status of scholarships received during the daytime of the university has been increasing from 21.2% in 1996 to 52.5% in 2012. After that, it declined a little and reached 49.6% in FY2020, but it has remained high at a rate more than double that of the mid-1990s. In addition, there were cases in which scholarships were applied for every year but were not accepted, and although they wanted to, they did not apply, and it seems that 8.8% of students in 2020. Therefore, the percentage of students who need a scholarship actually exceeds 50%, and it seems that more than one in two students need a scholarship. In addition, some scholarships are benefit-type and do not need to be repaid in the future, while others are loan-type and require future repayment. Since the repayment is done by the students themselves, many students have the impression that the scholarship is a student loan (own expense for the future), and many students give up using the scholarship because they are concerned about the burden after graduation. It seems. Giving up on scholarships or going on to higher education due to financial reasons may lead to narrowing down the options for the person in the future. In addition, only 4.0% of private universities have taken measures such as reducing or refunding tuition fees in online classes caused by Corona (Wuhan virus), according to the “2020 Scholarship Subcommittee Report” published by the Japan Association of Private Universities. I know from. It seems that none of the large schools with more than 10,000 undergraduate students offered reductions or refunds. It is an undeniable fact that the economic blow caused by the coronavirus (Wuhan virus) has hit young people, especially low-income earners. I'm young, so if I use my body to work, I'll be able to do something about it. I've heard that voices that say that if you have the effort, you don't need to help, or that you're just lazy, are still deep-rooted and often not understood. Why are tuition fees still high when the quality of college education should have declined due to the “New Cov”? The Japan Association of Private Universities and Colleges: JAPUC will do most of the tuition fees in September 2020. The government has announced that it will not be eligible for reduction or refund of tuition fees and facility equipment costs. It seems that the tuition fee is not accumulated as a unit of taking one lesson subject such as online or face-to-face, but is an expense to provide a comprehensive educational environment including preparation in anticipation of the awarding of a degree. Facility equipment costs are not just expenses as usage fees, but are positioned as investment funds for future equipment enhancement. Individual private universities also pay tuition fees in four-year divisions for bachelor's degree, tuition fees do not fluctuate depending on the class format, and efforts are made not to deteriorate the quality of education even in online classes. It seems that he denied the reduction, saying that he was continuing. Japan Student Services Organization: JASSO has started a new system in April 2020 so as not to give up going to university or vocational school for financial reasons. It seems that if you meet the standard of household income, you can receive support if you have a strong “motivation to learn” instead of judging only by your grades. In addition, if eligible for a benefit-type scholarship, tuition and admission fees for universities and vocational schools will be exempted or reduced. It seems that universities, etc. will provide exemptions and reductions in tuition and admission fees, and the Japan Student Services Organization will provide benefit-type scholarships. It is a good idea to check with each university about the exemption / reduction of tuition fees and admission fees.

Aoshima mandarin oranges were discovered around 1935 in the current mandarin orange field of Mr. Heiju AOSIMA, Fukudagaya, Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and it seems that he came to be called by his name. I heard that the word “Miccan” was coined to mean “Kanji / Koji”, which is sweet like honey, because the varieties introduced from China during the Muromachi period were sweeter than the citrus fruits that had been used until then. 1603 to 1604 Nippo Dictionary; Vocabulario da Lingoa de Iapam com a declaração em Portugues: Published in Nagasaki by the Jezus Society (Oxford University Library, Portuguese Ebola Public Library, French National Library, Brazilian Rio de Janeiro National Library) As it is written as miccan in “(confirmed storage in)”, it seems that it was pronounced miccan in the old days. This dictionary has 25,967 words in the main story and 6,831 words in the addendum when calculated using headwords. Excluding duplicates, the total number seems to be 32,293 words. As expected, this amount cannot hide the surprise in a short period of time. 
【Major features】
At the extraordinary Diet session in December 2018, the “Law to partially revise the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act and the Ministry of Justice Establishment Act” centered on the establishment of a new status of residence “Specific Skills” was passed and passed (197th Diet Session (197th Diet Session). At the extraordinary session), the “Law to partially revise the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act and the Ministry of Justice Establishment Act” was enacted and promulgated on the 14th of the same month (2018 Law No. 102). Establishing “Skill No. 1” and “Specific Skill No. 2”, establishment of the Immigration Control and Refuge Agency, etc.), and from April 1, 2019, new “Specific Skills” in the industrial field where labor shortages are serious. It is possible to accept foreign human resources. The foreign technical intern training system aims to transfer skills, technology or knowledge to developing countries, etc. in order to promote harmony development with the international community while Japan plays a role as a developed country. It seems that the purpose is to cooperate in “human resource development” that is responsible for the economic development of the country. New based on the Act on Proper Technical Intern Training and Protection of Technical Intern Trainees (Act No. 89, 2016) promulgated on 28 November 2016 and enforced on 1 November 2017. Technical intern training system is implemented. Developed countries mainly refer to countries where the economy is greatly developed, but there is no definition for being called developed countries, and countries where the economy and technology are developing and the standard of living is said to be high. It seems to be a generic term. The Group of Eight is now called the G8 and is attended by countries called developed countries such as Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom. Countries with underdeveloped economies are called developing countries, as opposed to developed countries. But what about Japan? The per capita GDP (gross domestic product) of the Japanese has declined in the OECD for about 20 years and is now about to fall below the OECD average. However, the sense of crisis of the Japanese is weak, and it seems that there are many people who do not believe in the historical aspect of the end of the developed country era. The reality is that even if the social security is thin, the disparity is widening, the working environment is exhausting for workers, the economy is developing and national wealth is accumulated, the people cannot feel affluence at all. Primary balance (an index showing whether or not the expenses (policy expenses) for providing various administrative services such as social security and public works are covered by tax revenue, etc. Currently, Japan's PB is in the red and the policy The situation is that the government is covering the expenses with debt, but if the government does not go into the red, the private sector will not be in the black. Someone's assets are somebody's debt. It is a problem that even children can understand, but the government has finally raised it from 2018 It is already difficult to achieve profitability in 2025, and according to the White Paper on Economic and Fiscal Policy (Cabinet Office) published in November 2020, it may be the effect of having to mobilize a huge amount of money due to measures against the new corona virus. The description itself of aiming for profitability in the fiscal year has disappeared, but it has not been abolished.) Problems, heavy tax feeling is often pointed out by the tax to be borne when purchasing goods, gasoline tax, liquor tax, tobacco tax We do not understand that various contradictions in modern Japan, such as double taxation, environment, labor, welfare, education, gender relations, and international issues, are overwhelming our people, and there are many dangers even in the thin real world. Don't do it. Can we say that Japan is a developed country? I can't say anything else, I don't create an environment where it's easy to raise children, I can't stop the measures against declining birthrate and aging population, and I still can't face the masses and politicians in the current situation where the people can't unite. , It seems that there are many bureaucrats. The first is to improve the labor wages of Japanese people, but the maximum period for accepting technical intern training is five years. The trainees have the status of residence of Technical Intern Training Nos. 1 to 3 from entry to return. 1st year (Technical Intern Training No. 1): First take a two-month course, then practice. 2nd and 3rd year (Technical Intern Training No. 2): If you pass the exam at the end of the 1st year, you will move to No. 2.  Continue the training. 4th and 5th year (Technical Intern Training No. 3): If you pass the exam at the end of the 3rd year, you will move to No. 3. After returning to Japan temporarily, he continued his training in Japan. At the end of the 5th year, I took an exam and returned to Japan. The number of occupations that can be transferred to the 2nd and 3rd training is limited, and according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, as of December 2018, there are 144 jobs in 80 occupations such as “agriculture”, fishing, construction, food manufacturing, machinery and metal. In addition, more than half of the institutions conducting training seem to have data with micro enterprises with 19 or less employees. Regarding foreign technical intern trainees, the number of violations of laws and regulations of the host company tends to be a problem. However, even in the regular inspections of the Labor Standards Inspection Office for companies that are not related to technical intern training, there is a high probability that violations have been discovered. The technical intern training problem is also a problem for Japanese workers. We must not forget. Returning to the above, while Japan accepts a large number of international students, it seems that the qualitative acceptance system is not yet fully established. First, there seems to be a problem of being institutionally disadvantaged in daily life. For example, when renting a house, depending on the host university, the guarantor may not be adjusted or introduced, or when a minor international student makes a mobile phone contract, the university will ask. This is because there is almost no support, and there are often no Japanese people who can rely on them when they start studying abroad. Regarding language ability, Japanese language education plays a large role in the university, but it seems that some universities still do not have a sufficient system for Japanese language education. I have heard that depending on the research content and academic advisor, it may not be possible to take classes even if the university has a system. People who do not have high Japanese proficiency will have very limited information and resources that can be accessed depending on the language. In the current situation where linguistic assistance is not sufficient at medical institutions, it is likely that the problem will often become more serious when a person becomes ill because it is difficult to obtain information and knowledge depending on the necessary situation. Since March 2009, JASSO's medical assistance system for international students has been abolished. It is the actual situation that is entrusted to each university institution. The pressure to adapt to Japanese culture and the stress of cross-cultural communication are also ultimate issues. It seems that the results show that even if the Japanese proficiency increases as the staying time increases, the stress increases. In Japan, there is a strong tendency for communication to take place on the premise that the other person shares the same thinking style and values ​​as oneself, increasing anxiety about the adaptation of international students to Japanese culture, and one of the misunderstandings and dissatisfactions in cross-cultural communication. I heard that it is a factor. This closed and realistic issue (repeated self-restraint, pre-emergency measures, state of emergency, etc. (scientifically uncertain legal basis, weak Japanese are selected and tend to be divided)) Among them, only senior citizens (special civil servants, etc.) are regarded as special, and I want to say something from the contradictory world. I specialize in agriculture, so I would like to get into the main subject. “Speaking of Mikkabi, Citrus Unshiu” : It declined from the merger of 15 agricultural cooperatives in the western part of Shizuoka prefecture in 1995, and has taken root as an independent agricultural cooperative. I hear that what we have now is the existence of the shipping union mentioned earlier. In 1960, the Mikkabi Town Citrus Shipping Association was established with 154 people. It seems that the individual sales styles of farmers at that time were the mainstream. The details are still studying. I want to establish the Mikkabi Citrus Unshiu brand by combining the quality of All Mandarin Orange : First union leader(Insist on establishing a joint sales system): Aim to ship all oranges produced by farmers to co-marketing organizations. However, it seems that it is not straightforward to unify because there are arrangements and restrictions. Issues and conditions of brand production area : As the production of Citrus Unshiu nationwide increases, competition between production areas intensifies. There was also orange Import liberalization, etc., and the construction of a designated area that took advantage of the characteristics of the production area was an issue. The conditions are to secure a certain amount of production, stable production with high quality, and a systematic stable shipping system. I hear that it is thanks to “Aoshima(Medium ripening)” that it has been a citrus producing area until now. Discovered in the mandarin field of Mr. Heiju Aoshima in Shizuoka City Aoi Ward Fukudagaya around 1935(The theory that Owari Citrus Unshiu was highly connected in 1941.). It is one size larger than ordinary Citrus Unshiu, has flat fruits, a slightly thicker skin, is easy to peel by hand, has excellent storability, and has a high sugar content. It has a high sugar content and is mainly sold at the beginning of the year. In the southwestern warm regions, it is not suitable for cultivation due to weather conditions and soil conditions, and the biggest merit is that the sales time does not batting. I want to write various things, but I will make a leap forward. As a providence of nature, water is converted from high to low, and sales are converted from low to high. In 1981, there were more than 100 types of corrugated called Mikkabi Orange, and it was difficult to respond to inquiries from consumers. “JA Mikkabi Orange” is now approved as a Regional collective trademark(Trademark Registration No. 5428782): Mikkabi district and its surrounding area in Shizuoka Prefecture Hamamatsu City Kita Ward(Kita Ward and Kosai City, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture), Joint fruit selection produced in the Mikkabi District.

The beginning of cultivation is Kishu mandarin orange. About 300 years ago, around the middle of the Edo period during the Kyoho period, Yaemon Yamada in the Hirayama district of Mikkabi-cho brought back a Kishu mikan sapling from the Kishu Nachi region during a pilgrimage to Saigoku. It seems that it was planted in. It is said that the origin of history is that around 1574, Ito Sonemon introduced saplings from Yatsushiro in Higo and planted them in Miyahara and Itoga's villa (currently Arida City) in the current Arida region of Wakayama prefecture. There is. It began to be shipped to Osaka, Sakai, Fushimi, etc. around the beginning of 1596 to 1614, and it seems that it was shipped to Edo for the first time in 1634 by Tobei Takigawra of Arita. In addition, it is due to the efforts of Kinokuniya Bunzaemon, who was also called “Kibun Daizen.”

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.

Amanatsu is a special product that has begun to be cultivated in the Ashikita region of Kumamoto prefecture, and boasts the highest production in Japan. Every year around December, the mountains turn bright yellow, and when the New Year is over, it seems that the harvest will start all at once in the cold. The former Sashiki Tunnel, which connects Tanoura Town and Ashikita Town with a tunnel located in the center of Yatsushiro City and Minamata City, started construction in 1901 and was completed in 1903. With a total length of about 433.5, a width of about 5.5 m, and a central height of about 4.4 m, it was the sixth longest in Japan at that time and the second longest in Kyushu, and it seems that it was an important road tunnel from a historical point of view. Stone pilasters, band stones, and brick portals were constructed on the left and right sides of the wellhead. The bricks are stacked in France, the arch inside the tunnel is the longitudinal stack of bricks, and the side walls are the British stack. The tunnel is about 15 minutes from the Ashikita interchange on the Kyushu Expressway. It is a brick tunnel and was designated as a registered tangible cultural property on August 21, 2002. It is designated as a registered tangible cultural property. During the construction of this tunnel, it seems that a cave-in accident occurred in the past and several people were killed. After that, the old Sashiki tunnel was opened safely. However, it becomes a psychic spot where ghost sightings and mysterious accidents occur frequently. The main reason for this is that it may be due to a psychic disorder that has been transmitted to me. It seems that a mysterious phenomenon is occurring in this tunnel with a high probability. Now that the new Sashiki tunnel has been built, it seems that few people use the old tunnel, but many people still visit for the purpose of trying their luck. Moreover, it seems that you have to be careful when driving because the road is narrow. In addition, it seems that there was a tendency to make the old Sashiki tunnel the final destination of life in search of a place to hang himself and die, including self-immolation in the heart of parents and children. If the specter and the spirit of a dead person walk, they must have been worshiped in the sense of a traveler's guardian deity (traveller) long before we were born. とろりと白く膏を流した葦北の海の向ふには, 今沈む夕日を銜んで紫は濃く碧は薄く幾重にも重なり, 並ぶ凸凹の形面白い天草の島山. 登場の地の標柱, 1913. 9/30: 午後 徳冨蘆花 【死の陰に】Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy(露)の What to do? は, 半分讀みかけて抛(はふ)り出してあつた. 決して閑却(かんきやく)する譯でも, 蔑視(べつし)する譯でもない. 否彼翁と自分の間はあまりに肖(に)て居る. 讀む要はないまでに肖て居る. 讀まなくてもよいが, 顏は見たい。【小説 冨士】 第四卷 徳冨蘆花

Trademark registration means registering the naming and logo attached to products and services with the Japan Patent Office, which is an external agency of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. It seems that not only the product naming and logo but also the company name may be registered as a trademark. When you apply for trademark registration with the Japan Patent Office, an examination will be conducted as to whether or not the trademark registration can be approved. If, as a result of the examination, it is determined that the trademark registration may be permitted, the trademark will be registered by paying the registration fee to the Japan Patent Office. If it deserves approval, the trademark right will be granted to the applicant who applied for trademark registration. The applicant is a trademark owner in the sense that he / she has the trademark right. In addition, the trademark right is the right to use the registered trademark exclusively for the goods and services specified in advance. A third party who is not the trademark owner may not use a trademark that is the same as or similar to the registered trademark for the designated goods / designated services that are the same as or similar to the designated goods / designated services. If a third party who does not have any rights uses a trademark that is the same as or similar to the registered trademark for the designated goods / designated services that are the same as or similar to the designated goods / designated services, the trademark rights will be infringed. In addition, if a third party infringes the trademark right, the trademark owner may file a claim for damages or an injunction against the third party in court. For example, for trademark infringement acts, as relief by civil proceedings in court, seeking injunction of infringement acts, claiming damages, claiming return of unjust enrichment, for credit recovery It is possible to request measures, etc. Apart from this, if it is a criminal case, criminal penalties may be applied as a result of the trial. The injunction request has the following injunctions against trademark infringement (Article 36 of the Trademark Law). Requests for infringement to stop the act, requests for prevention of infringement for those who may infringe, disposal of the infringing material, removal of equipment used for infringing, and other infringement Request for measures necessary for prevention. Of these, 3 can only be billed with 1 or 2. Also, when requesting an injunction, it is not a requirement that the infringer have intentional or negligent infringement. Regarding 3, if the infringer uses a registered trademark or a trademark similar to it only for the product tag, the question is whether it is possible to request the disposal of the removed product, but the product and the tag are Regardless of the circumstances that make it inseparable and inseparable, if the product itself does not have a trademark at all and can be easily separated, even the product with the tag removed is requested to be discarded. It's difficult. If trademark infringement has already become a reality and there is an urgent need to do so, such as when there is a possibility of significant damage if left unchecked, a provisional disposition will be given to the court to suspend the infringement. It is possible to file a petition. A claim for damages can be made against a person who manufactures, sells, or imports a counterfeit product that infringes a trademark right. In order to claim damages, it is necessary to prove many facts, but it is often difficult to prove the facts, so the law provides a calculation rule for the amount of damages (Article 38 of the Trademark Law). In addition, regarding the intentional or negligence of the infringer, which is necessary as a precondition for claiming damages, it is presumed that there was negligence in the act of infringement (Trademark Law, Article 39, Patent Law, Article 103). It facilitates claims for damages against infringers. Provisions for calculating the amount of damages Part 1 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 1 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 1 of the Trademark Law stipulates the method for calculating the amount of damages based on the recognition of lost profits. In cases where counterfeit products are sold, trademark owners, etc. are within the range of their own ability to use, etc. (1) Lost profits due to a decrease in sales volume, and in the part beyond the range of ability to use, etc. (2) Lost profits due to loss of licensing opportunities are recognized. Based on this idea, this provision refers to the amount of profit per unit quantity (generally, so-called marginal profit) of a product that the trademark owner, etc. could have sold without infringement. The amount obtained by multiplying. By the quantity of the counterfeit goods transferred by the infringer according to the ability of the trademark owner, etc. (referred to as the “use-appropriate quantity”) (loss margin of (1)) And, if a quantity of counterfeit products exceeding the quantity suitable for use is transferred, the license equivalent amount (lossy profit of (2)) for this quantity can be calculated and the total can be used as the damage amount. There is. However, if there are circumstances in which the trademark owner, etc. cannot sell all or part of the transferred quantity, the quantity corresponding to the circumstances (referred to as the “specified quantity”) is the calculation of lost profits in (1). It is deducted from the quantity that is the basis of (2) and is used as the basis for the calculation of lost profits. This “circumstances where it cannot be sold” is, for example, recognized that the infringer's sales are mainly due to the infringer's own sales efforts, and that all demand for counterfeit products goes to genuine products due to differences in quality and price. It cannot be done, the original trademark is used in addition to the trademark similar to the counterfeit product, and the consumer purchased it because it is an infringer's product, the existence of competing products and their influence, and the trademark is a counterfeit product. It is planned that the infringer will claim and prove it because it contributes only to a part of the total added value of. In addition, if the trademark contributes only to a part of the total added value of the counterfeit product, or if it is not recognized that the trademark owner, etc. could grant the license to the infringer (No. 2 parentheses in the same paragraph). As a result, the amount of damage in item 2 may not be recognized. In certifying the amount equivalent to the license in Item 2, the amount that will be agreed between the parties on the premise of the fact of infringement can be taken into consideration (paragraph 4 of the same Article). “Damage amount” = (“Infringer's transfer quantity within the limit of use-appropriate quantity”- “Specific quantity”) x “Profit per unit of right holder” + “Quantity exceeding use-appropriate quantity or specific quantity” License equivalent amount * If it is not recognized that the trademark owner has granted the license to the infringer, the damage amount will not be recognized. 2) Provisions for calculating the amount of compensation for damages Part 2 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 2 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 2 of the Trademark Law states that when an infringer is benefiting from an infringing act, the profit is It stipulates that the amount is estimated as the damage amount of the right holder as it is. In order to calculate the damage according to the same paragraph, it is necessary that there is a situation that profit would have been obtained if there had been no trademark infringement by the infringer. In addition, the profit gained “by the act of infringement” is limited to the portion (the portion that contributed) that the trademark contributed to the sales of the counterfeit product. Therefore, the ratio of the contributed portion (contribution rate) may be taken into consideration when calculating the amount of compensation for damages. “Damage amount” * = “Profit gained by infringer” * Contribution rate affects the calculation of damage compensation amount. Provisions for calculating damages No. 3 (Relief under Article 38, Paragraph 3 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 3 of the Trademark Law states that even if the infringer did not benefit from the infringing act, or something. It stipulates that even if the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of the same Article cannot be applied for some reason, the infringer can be claimed for damages equivalent to the license fee. Paragraph 3 of the same Article is considered to be a statutory provision for the minimum amount of damage. Therefore, it may be realistic to make a claim based on this section due to the difficulty of proof. In addition, when certifying the amount equivalent to the license, the amount that will be agreed between the parties on the premise of the fact of infringement can be taken into consideration (paragraph 4 of the same Article). However, if the infringer proves that the use of a mark similar to a registered trademark did not contribute to attracting customers at all, it may be considered that no damage has occurred. “Damage amount” = “License equivalent amount” Example: “Transfer quantity of infringer" × “License equivalent amount per unit of right holder” “Sales of infringer” × “License fee rate” there is a possibility. Provisions for calculating the amount of damages Part 4 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 5 of the Trademark Law): Under the “TPP Agreement”, the introduction of a statutory damages system for trademark rights or an additional damages system is required for unauthorized use of trademarks. There is. Along with this, Article 38, Paragraph 5 of the Trademark Law stipulates that the amount equivalent to the cost normally required for acquiring and maintaining a trademark right can be the amount of damage suffered by the trademark owner, etc. There is. The scope of unauthorized use of a trademark under the “TPP agreement” is to mutually change the display of the trademark, hiragana: japanese cursive characters, katakana, and romaji: latin alphabet characters consisting of the same characters with only the typeface changed, and the same names and ideas. This is the case when a trademark that causes the above, a trademark that consists of figures that are equated in appearance, or any other trademark that is recognized as the same as the registered trademark is used. Unjust enrichment claim: If a trademark right is infringed, it may be possible to exercise the unjust enrichment claim. Request for Credit Restoration Measures: For a person who has damaged the business credit of the trademark owner, the court may order the measures to restore the credit at the request of the trademark owner (Article 39 of the Trademark Law). , Article 106 of the Patent Law). Specifically, if it can be evaluated that the infringer's inferior goods have damaged the business trust of the trademark owner, measures such as posting an apology advertisement can be requested. Pursuit of criminal liability: A person who infringes a trademark right is punished by imprisonment with work for not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than 10 million yen, so if the trademark right is infringed, the pursuit of criminal liability can be considered. (Article 78 of the Trademark Law). In addition, imprisonment and fines can be imposed (both are imposed). For corporations, there are so-called punishment provisions that, in addition to the punishment of the performer, a fine will be imposed on the corporation that is the business entity if the infringement is committed in relation to the business (trademark). Law Article 82). From the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan Patent Office website, as of April 2021. In other words, requesting other companies that have used their registered trademarks to compensate for damages caused by infringement of trademark rights, or to stop selling products or services that use the trademarks. Can be done. Conversely, if you infringe the trademark rights of another company, the trademark owner will request you to compensate for the damages or stop selling products or services that use the trademark. To put it simply, trademark registration means registering a name or logo attached to a product or service so that only the company can use the name or logo. Is there a lot of disadvantages such as pay attention to public opinion? It may take nearly a year from trademark registration application to acquisition of rights in recent years. However, if certain conditions are met, it seems that it can be shortened to about 3 months by requesting an accelerated examination. It costs money to acquire and renew the rights. Depending on the conditions at the time of filing, it often costs a little less than 100,000 yen to 100,000 yen from application to registration. There is also a cost to renew the rights period every 10 years. However, there are cases where various subsidies from local governments and ministries can be used. The cost required to acquire the right is not cheap, but considering the cost when the store name, product name, etc. cannot be used and the product has to be changed, I think that the cost is worth the 訴訟費用. Now, I would like to introduce the production area (wholesale area) and the neighboring local governments, though it is simple. “Ashikita Town, Ashikita District, Kumamoto Prefecture”, Located in the southern part of the prefecture.

In 1967, he joined the park with the guidance of Ariake Amakusa Agricultural improvement extension office. At the same time, the seedlings were cultivated and investigated, and the characteristics that the logs did not change were confirmed. Over time, it was Registered as seedling name No.285 in 1975. Investigate the characteristics of kawano citrus natsudaidai and seedlings in terms of both tree vigor and appearance - Kumamoto Fruit Tree Experiment Station. Confirm that the shape of leaf and flower and the size of fruits are almost the same(Comparative trial). Don't forget that it is also fertile.

It is said that the original citrus summer citrus was sown with fruit seeds that had drifted to the coast of Yamaguchi Prefecture during the Edo period. From that summer tangerine, Amanatsu was discovered in 1935 as a sport in an orchard in Oita prefecture. The shape does not seem to be much different from that of Natsudaidai, but it is characterized by its quicker removal of acid and stronger sweetness than Natsudaidai. Cultivation began in earnest in warm regions such as Oita and Kumamoto around 1955, and it seems that it has become known nationwide.

Elegant sweetness, refreshing acidity and bittersweetness, it is still a popular mandarin orange: citrus natsudaidai. If you like sour taste, it's good early, and if you like sweet and rich taste, it's good after being stored for a while. The sale period seems to be from January to the end of March. It seems that Amanatsu and Beni Amanatsu, which can be enjoyed from spring to summer, go from Kumamoto to Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture every year, load them in containers, transport them by freight, and store them in the refrigerator. It seems that the staff of the Taura Citrus Association will go on a business trip and select fruits from April. From around May, it seems that Nagano (produced in Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture) storage Amanatsu is on sale.

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.

The main production areas of ginger under the jurisdiction of JA Kochi Prefecture are the Kozai district, Niyodogawa district, Kochi district, and Kami district. Kochi Prefecture is the number one producer of this excellent agricultural product in Japan. After harvesting from October to November, it is stored in a constant temperature / humidity storage and shipped throughout the year. Kochi ginger, which is loved all over the world, has few fibers and is characterized by its firm texture and mellow taste. In addition, the strength of the aroma when grated illuminates its presence as a condiment. The storage method is not suitable for long-term refrigerated storage, so it is better to dry it until the skin turns white, wrap it in newspaper and place it in a cool and dark place, or grate it or cut it into small pieces and then freeze it. Greenhouse new ginger, but the main production areas are the Kobata district, Kochi district, and Tocho(Tsuchinari)district. New ginger cultivated in the house is produced by heating the inside of the greenhouse during the cold season, and it seems that it is harvested mainly from March to September while relaying the production area. Unlike ginger, which is on the market all year round, it is pure white and beautiful, and it stimulates your appetite even more. This excellent produce is characterized by a soft texture, mild spiciness and a rich aroma. Unlike ginger, it has less spiciness, so I think it is suitable for people who are not good at spiciness. Haruno Town, Kochi City is the main production area for new greenhouse ginger, and until last year, about 40 producers were cultivating 12 hectares. I hope that the supply and demand of agricultural products will catch up, the number of producers (farmers) will increase, and that it will contribute to the creation of attractive towns and Japanese agriculture.

【Features】
The origin of ginger is said to be tropical Asia, and it is used all over the world as a medicinal and spice. It is said that it was introduced to Japan from China before the 3rd century, and it is stated in the “Kojiki(It is generally said to be the oldest history book in Japan. According to the foreword, it was established when Yasumarnd Ono was compiled in Wado 5 (712 AD) and presented to Empress Genmei. It consists of three volumes, upper, middle and lower, and describes the article of Empress Suiko from the myth from the creation of heaven and earth.)(Teiki: 帝紀(A Chinese style description of everything from the throne of an emperor to the death of the emperor. Who was the predecessor, what was the name of the emperor, who was the empress, how many children were there, what was the nationally important event at that time, where is the imperial tomb, etc. Carefully listed.) / Kyuji: 旧辞(The myths, legends, and song stories before the reign of the emperor are described in a slightly broken Chinese style. In addition, the history books of each clan, which are said to be the basic materials of Kiki (Kojiki and Nihon Shoki).)” that it has been cultivated for a long time. When varieties of traditional ginger are classified according to size, they are roughly classified into O(Large)ginger, Chu(Medium)ginger, and Ko(Small)ginger, and when classified by cultivation / harvesting method, root ginger and leaf ginger are roughly classified into Ya ginger(gingerroot). In Asia, it is often used mainly as spicy vegetables for cooking, sliced, finely chop and used for scenting fried food and food cooked by boiling, and also used as conditions for pieces of vegetables and grated ginger. There is. Ginger grilled pork is a very popular Japanese food menu, which plays a role in flavoring and sterilizing meat. I've also heard that ginger is used more often as a spice in Indian cuisine than onions and onions, which have a strong odor. On the other hand, in Europe and the United States, processed products such as ginger cookies, ginger bread, and ginger ale are common. Ginger is a vegetable grown in warm regions. In Japan, Kochi prefecture, Kumamoto prefecture, Chiba prefecture, etc. are the main production areas, and it seems that they are not cultivated much in the north of Kanto because the temperature is not suitable. Although it is distributed year-round, the leaf ginger circulation period is around June to August. Kochi Prefecture accounts for about 40% of the total shipment of ginger in Japan. It seems that root ginger is cultivated mainly in Kochi and Kumamoto prefectures, and leaf ginger is mainly cultivated in Chiba prefecture. With the spread of ginger in tubes, which is easy to handle, the market distribution volume of fresh ginger seems to be declining. Most of the imported products from overseas such as China and Thailand are processed products such as pickled ginger of sweet and sour ginger and red pickled ginger pickled in plum vinegar. It seems that “Zingiber siccatum”, which is used as a Chinese herbal medicine by drying ginger other than edible, has been exported from the Mikawa region and Omi(Omi ginger, which is said to have been introduced from Shiga prefecture to the Kanto region, is a representative variety of Zingiberaceae. The tubers are hypertrophied and weigh about 500 g to 1 kg. The appearance is pale yellow and shiny, and the meat quality is soft. It has a refreshing aroma, is less spicy and is easy to eat. Suitable for pickled ginger and condiments. For large ginger, the tubers cut by hand into 150-200 g pieces are dried for 2-3 days. It seems that it is good to plant the buds diagonally upward at a ridge width of about 70 cm, a spacing of about 20 cm, and a depth of 5 to 6 cm. When the shoots are growing, add fertilizer and earthing up, and lay straw because it is vulnerable to drying. The standard harvest time is from October to November when the foliage turns yellow, and the harvest season is from October to November.)in Aichi prefecture since the Meiji era. Besides being used as a spicy vegetable, it is also produced worldwide for medicinal purposes. The English ginger comes from the Sanskrit word “horn-shaped”, which seems to be derived from its shape resembling a deer antler. In cultivation, it seems essential to avoid continuous cropping in order to control Meloidogyne and Pythium myriotylum(It seems that it overwinters mainly in the form of follicles together with the damaged tissue and is transmitted to the soil. In addition, seed tuber transmission by diseased tubers is also performed. Secondary transmission is caused by zoospores released from the bacterial cells into the water, so it seems that it may occur frequently when the field is flooded. It is infected when the soil temperature is 15 to 20 ° C or higher, and it seems that the outbreak will increase if there is a lot of rainfall after the end of May. The first train in normal years is in the middle of June, but in the year when the soil temperature is high, the first train will be earlier. It seems to invade stems, tubers, roots and shoots. On the stem, water-soaked lesions appear on the ground and extend to the upper part. Later, the stem seems to turn light brown. The leaves turn yellow from the lower leaves, but the leaves remain open and appear to be withered. When the disease progresses rapidly, it seems that the ground area softens and rots and falls down. It seems that the stems often easily come off the rotting part of the ground when the diseased strain is pulled. It seems that the tubers initially develop light brown and then brown depressed lesions. When young tubers are often infected and the disease progresses rapidly, it seems to soften and rot. However, it seems that the parent tuber is less corrupt. Under moist conditions, it seems that cotton candy-like white hyphae are formed on the surface of the damaged part. It seems preferable to use disease-free seed tubers as needed. Even if the seed tubers are taken from a field where no symptoms are observed in the above-ground part, the tubers in the underground part may be affected. If there are spots, it is preferable not to use it as a seed tuber. Take sufficient drainage measures such as raising the ridges and preventing the inflow of water from the outside. Strive to detect the diseased strain at an early stage. If the disease is found, remove the diseased strain and several strains around it, and isolate the diseased part with a partition with ridges and vinyl coating. In addition, it seems better to avoid continuous cropping in the field where the disease has occurred once, and if possible, do not grow the same crop for 3 years.). Returning to the story a little, ginger is characterized by being imported in various forms, and it seems that the amount of imports in recent years has been stable at around 80,000 tons. According to the import statistics for 2018, fresh ginger was 25,520 tons, salting ginger was 15,378 tons, dried ginger was 653 tons, vinegar-prepared ginger was 17,848 tons, and other prepared ginger was 27,669 tons. I heard that processed products such as salting and vinegar preparation are used for pickled ginger and red pickled ginger. Looking at the import destinations, it seems that most of the salting ginger is Thailand and China, and the rest is mostly China. The export destination of fresh food is not stable, but it seems that most of the other adjusted ginger is destined for Hong Kong, the United States, and Vietnam. Former JA Shimanto (now JA Kochi Prefecture) is located in the Kubokawa area and Nakatosa Town (Nakatosa Town and Ono in December 2005) in Shimanto Town (the merger of Kubokawa Town, Taisho Town and Towa Village in March 2006). The Onomi area (which was merged with Mimura) was in the jurisdiction. The Kubokawa area, where the former JA headquarters was located, is located in the western part of Kochi prefecture, and has a coastal area with a beautiful coastal beauty and a Konandai plateau at an altitude of about 230 m. It seems that it was the center of economy, industry, transportation, and culture in the Takahata area, which points to the southwestern part of Kochi prefecture. The area has a large temperature difference between day and night, and is a plateau in a cool and dense fog-prone area, so it is considered to be a suitable place for rice cultivation, and it is one of the prefecture's leading rice-growing areas that produces high-quality rice called “Niida Rice”. In addition, open-air ginger, facility gardening such as garlic, peppers, and Japanese ginger, and livestock such as pig farming, dairy farming, and beef cattle are also popular. Kochi Prefecture seems to have the largest production of ginger in the open field in Japan. Among them, the Kubogawa area is the largest ginger producing area in the prefecture because it is suitable for cultivating high-quality ginger due to fertile cultivated land, heavy fog, and heavy rain in summer, and has a well-established production base. In addition, cultivation efforts have been introduced as crops for conversion due to the decrease in rice cultivation, and it seems that they reached their peak in the 1970s. However, due to the aging of the population and the slump in prices due to the rapid increase in imported ginger mainly from China, it seems that the status quo is currently maintained or is on a slight decline. The varieties cultivated are Large ginger of strains such as Tosa No. 1 and Cambodia, which are suitable for conventional cultivation. Before planting, it seems that the ginger harvested the previous year is taken out of the storage and divided by hand, and about 2 gall (about 200 g) is planted in April as one plant. From June to July, when the plant grows, earthing up and laying straw. And it seems that irrigation will be done from July to September. Ginger has an excellent bactericidal effect peculiar to it, but it is a very delicate plant in itself, and it seems that if you use river water directly, you will get sick. For this reason, I heard that groundwater is pumped up and irrigated with sprinklers. It seems that the tuber tends to get bigger if you give plenty of water. Harvest is from late October to early November due to frost. The harvest seems to pull the stems and dig up the ginger. In recent years, the number of mechanical harvests has increased, and it seems that the stems are rolled up and dug with a dedicated harvester. It seems that about 200 grams of parental ginger can produce 2 kg of large ginger from one plant. It seems that ginger harvested in the fall will be temporarily stored in the storage. Sales at JA will be carried out through JA Kochi Prefecture (formerly Kochi Prefectural Horticultural Federation), and from January to December of the following year, the product stored in a low-temperature warehouse as “enclosed ginger” will be sold in the sales plan. It seems that it will be shipped and sold to markets all over the country. It seems that fully matured ginger can be stored for over a year at a temperature of around 14 ° C and appropriate humidity. Shipment seems to be in small packages of 100g and 130 g trays and bags called 4 kg cardboard and shrink.  Previously, cardboard shipments were the mainstream, but in recent years, shrink shipments, which are strongly inquired by mass retailers such as supermarkets, have come to account for about 80%. At JA's shipping site, workers carefully put kitchen knives one by one after washing them with water and finish them from raw materials to products. Members of the Ginger Producers Department are obliged to fill in the production ledger (production history) and submit it to JA, and it seems that they have a system that can respond instantly to inquiries from consumers. In addition, the Kochi Prefectural Agricultural Products Safety Inspection Center conducts a pesticide residue inspection of ginger every month, and in addition to ensuring proper use of pesticides on a daily basis, we respond to consumer demands for safety and security by undergoing strict inspections by third parties. Seems to be there. Ginger seems to have entered Japan as a crude drug that is indispensable for Chinese herbal medicine. The Chinese name is “Shonchan”, and it is still mixed with many Chinese herbs. By the way, in China, it seems to have been used for the treatment of antitussive, expectorant, antitussive, antipyretic, detoxification, digestive function recovery, abdominal pain, stomach pain and so on. These benefits are due to the spicy zingerone(C11H14O3)and shogaol(C17H24O3), the scented cineole(C10H18O), zingiol(C17H26O4), and zingiberene(C15H24). Tosa's “Igosso” (a dialect that means “stubborn person” in Kochi language) has an aging-suppressing effect on ginger made with great care and dedication. There seems to be. Ginger has a strong stake-oxidizing effect peculiar to it, and is said to prevent the oxidation of blood and intracellular lipids. It also seems to protect the body from active oxygen, which is a cause of aging. It is effective for poor circulation and diet, and it has the effect of burning fat in the body because it dilates blood vessels and improves blood circulation, which improves the coldness of females and raises the body temperature by 1 to 2 degrees.

Depending on the size, it is classified into Large ginger (Hachiro, Omi, etc.), Medium ginger (Boshu, Rakuda, etc.), and Small ginger (Native species, Yanaka, Madare, Sunshu, etc.). “Tosa No. 1” is a native species of Kochi prefecture and seems to be produced in many prefectures. Shin-Kochi, Bio, and Hachiro are selected from Doza No. 1 and are the original varieties of the Yatsushiro Agricultural Cooperative (JA Yatsushiro) in Kumamoto Prefecture.

Stretch packaging refers to packaging in which a polyethylene stretch film is wrapped around the sides of an article on a pallet while applying tension to prevent the load from collapsing. Stretch film was developed in the 1980s. With the advent of stretch packaging, even products with a large palletized volume do not require a large shrink tunnel, and by winding the object in multiple layers with a small packaging machine, it can have the same function as shrink packaging. It looks like it was done. I heard that stretch packaging uses a film made of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). The mascot character, Ginger Shota-kun, is the work of the late Takashi Yanase.

Ecosystem cultivation refers to a method of growing vegetables by reducing the burden on the environment as much as possible without relying on chemically synthesized pesticides as much as possible. It seems that pest control includes predation using insects, which are natural enemies, creating an environment where insects cannot see, and suppressing the outbreak of pests by putting an ultraviolet cut film on them. The cultivation method recommended by Japan is called “specially cultivated agricultural products” and “ecosystem cultivation” together with “eco(ecology)-vegetables in Kochi”.
