In Україна, after the unilateral annexation of the southern Crimean Peninsula by Russia in 2014, Russian-backed armed groups occupied some areas of the east and repeated fierce clashes with government forces that did not recognize it. Володимир Олександрович Зеленський President addressed the public on February 14, 2022, stating that February 16th would be “Unity Day”. It seems that some Western media have called on the people not to be upset after Russia has reported that it may start an invasion of Ukraine on the 16th. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warns against making “sensational remarks.” He has stated ethics that he will make every effort to achieve a peaceful solution. Russia's Сергей Кужугетович Шойгу seems to have told President Владимир Владимирович Путин that some Russian military exercises near the Ukrainian border have been completed and others are nearing the end. Russia's Foreign Minister Сергей Викторович Лавров said he met Владимир Владимирович Путин and was asked if there was a possibility of reaching an agreement with the West. It seems that he said it should be strengthened. Сергей Викторович Лавров Foreign Minister's remarks seem to be widely perceived as a clear concession that may ease tensions through negotiations, but political commentators say Ukraine's Organization du Traité de l'Atlantique Nord (NATO) There seems to be a view that the stalemate will continue if one of them does not move over the difficult task of joining. However, it seems that Ukraine, which is a member of the former Soviet Union and has close ties to Russia socially and culturally, claims that it is unacceptable to join NATO. It urges the West to commit to not allowing NATO membership. List of Member States (Membership Order) Iceland, United States, Italy, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Canada, Denmark, Norway, France, Belgium, Portugal, Luxembourg (original member countries), Greece, Turkey (February 1952), Germany (“West Germany” at the time of May 1955), Spain (May 1982), Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland (March 1999), Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania (March 2004) Mon), Albania, Croatia (April 2009), Montenegro (June 2017) Northern Macedonia (March 2020) All 30 countries. The Dow Jones Industrial Average on the New York Stock Exchange fell sharply on February 11 due to concerns about the situation in Ukraine. In response to this trend, the Nikkei Stock Average in the Tokyo market fell by more than 600 Japanese yen on February 14, the beginning of the week, which is new to my memory. On the other hand, it seems that crude oil prices have soared and are approaching the highest since 2014 due to speculation that the supply of Russian natural gas may be stagnant. Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy said, “February 16th is said to be the day of the attack, but it will be the day of unity,” and announced that he had signed a presidential directive. He emphasized that he would “show our unity to the whole world” by raising the Ukrainian flag on the 16th. First of all, what kind of economic measures will the US and Europe take? What is visible is the suspension of $ settlement? 60% to 70% of the world currencies, and € for other settlements. Is it about 20% to 30%? It seems that the Minister of Finance Shunichi SUZUKI, the Minister of Special Missions (Finance) of the Cabinet Office, and the person in charge of overcoming deflation, who also serve as the center of Japan's administration, explained, can Japanese banks match the pace? The settlement is not that big, but if the international currency is suppressed and money cannot be traded, it will be a big blow to Russian companies. On January 6, 2022, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida held a Japan-Australia summit television talk with The Hon. Scott Morrison, MP, Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia. First, from 1:00 pm on the same day, for about 15 minutes, the two leaders held a video conference system, Japan and Australia on facilitating mutual access and cooperation between the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the Australian Defense Force. Attended the signing ceremony of the “Agreement between Australia and Japan” (Japan-Australia Facilitation Agreement) and signed the agreement. Japan will be a partner country far from NATO, but it is undoubtedly a closer country to Russia and Ukraine.

In the 2022 budget plan, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has allocated 1,019 million yen for vegetable support measures including this project: horticultural production area development support project that opens up the era. We will openly solicit producer groups that will be the main actors in the near future through prefectures. Demand for processed and commercial vegetables such as cut vegetables is increasing due to the corona damage, but according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, it is a well-known fact that about 30% is occupied by imported products. For this reason, it seems that it is aiming to foster production areas that work on large-scale contract cultivation of processed and commercial vegetables while trying to switch to other crops in order to stabilize the supply and demand of rice for main food.

【Major features】
JA Shimabara Unzen, which has jurisdiction over the Shimabara Peninsula located in the southeastern part of the prefecture, was established in April 2001 by the merger of 11 agricultural cooperatives. Especially in the Minamigushi area, most of the area is terraced because there are many steep slopes, and while it is difficult to introduce machines, the productivity of lettuce for processing and commercial use can be effectively utilized in the limited fields throughout the area. It seems that they are making efforts to improve quality. Minamigushi (formerly Minamigushiyama Town was located on the Shimabara Peninsula in Nagasaki Prefecture. It used to belong to Minamitakaki District.) In the area, it seems that open-field cultivation is mainly carried out. The reason is that the climate is particularly warm even in the Shimabara Peninsula, so it is necessary to cover the entire ridge with a non-woven fabric or a lawn cloth after sowing seeds or planting seedlings. It seems that the heat retention and moisture retention are improved, the sprouting is well aligned, and the growth tends to be accelerated. Also, the effects of insect proofing, bird proofing, wind proofing, and frost proofing are expected. It seems that it is possible to reduce labor and cost compared to. Traditionally, lettuce has been shipped for fruits and vegetables. Producers seem to have stabilized their income when they started producing lettuce for processing and commercial use. For processing and commercial use, quality and yield are more important than for fruits and vegetables, and in addition, it seems that they cannot be out of stock due to contract cultivation. For this reason, as a measure against shortages, it seems that cultivation management is thorough, such as planting at least three different varieties such as cold-resistant varieties and disease-resistant varieties, and intensive planting in October. Even so, when there is a risk of shortages due to weather conditions, the Minamikushi district lettuce subcommittee will work together to distribute products for market shipment to processing and commercial use in cooperation with local producers. , It seems that they are making efforts to prevent shortages. Until 2015, lettuce was mainly shipped to the Kyushu market in the same JA, but it seems that it has begun to be shipped to the metropolitan area due to the expansion of sales channels by JA Zennoh Nagasaki Prefecture Headquarters. Regarding lettuce production in the Minamikushi area, in recent years, demand for processing and commercial use such as for cup salads at convenience stores has increased, and it seems that shipments are on the rise, along with the market. Nyu Wenzhou (high sugar type) that I can confirm seems to have the genealogy of Ikiriki system Wenzhou, Owari system Wenzhou, Nyu Wenzhou, “Ki no Kuni” Wenshu from the original log. I heard that Aoshima Wenzhou is also a sport of the same Owari system Wenzhou. About Nucellar embryony, which was born from Nyu Wenzhou, it seems to be Nucellar embryony. Ki no Kuni Wenzhou seems to inherit the gene of his mother Nyu Wenzhou as it is. The normal shipping time is from late January to early February, and it is a strain called high sugar content with high fruit sugar content. When harvested at the end of the year and stored until around February, a unique flavor is created. The rich flavor that cannot be tasted with other oranges is popular and popular. JA Shimabara Unzen has three cities, Shimabara City, Unzen City and Minamishimabara City, on the Shimabara Peninsula. The Shimabara Peninsula is blessed with natural conditions such as soil and weather, and has high land productivity and labor productivity. It is an agricultural area. The Shimabara Peninsula is a peninsula located in the southeastern part of Nagasaki Prefecture with a circumference of 138.3 km and an area of ​​459.36 km, and the total area seems to occupy 11.2% of the entire prefecture. It seems to consist of the Unzen mountain range centered on Mt. Fugen (1,359 m), the gentle hills of about 24 km east-west and about 32 km north-south, and the plains along the coast. The distribution of agricultural land is poor on flat land, and cultivated land subdivided by slopes is dispersed. The average annual temperature is as warm as 16 degrees Celsius, and there are frost-free areas along the coast. The annual rainfall is 2,000 mm, and the annual sunshine hours are 2,200 hours, which seems to be blessed with good weather conditions. The total number of households in the jurisdiction is 10,099, of which 28.6% (2,890) are full-time farmers (prefecture ratio 18.9%), type 1 part-time farmers are 1,687 houses, and type 2 part-time farmers are 2,690 houses. The area of ​​cultivated land was 12,500 ha, and the ratio of cultivated land was 27.2%, which was higher than 12.6% of the prefecture as a whole. The breakdown of the cultivated area is that the ratio of upland land is 62.0%, which is higher than 52.5% of the whole prefecture, and it can be said that it is an agricultural area centered on upland farming. The JA broccoli seems to be cultivated mainly in Azuma Town, Unzen City. Azuma Town is blessed with abundant pasture and upland fields along the mountains and paddy fields in the plains, and is blessed with warm and rainy climatic conditions. It is a highly productive area. In recent years, large-scale management of broccoli has been carried out due to the improvement of upland infrastructure, and it seems that broccoli is becoming a production area. Nowadays, it seems that broccoli, which is so close to eating habits that no one knows, did not attract much attention about 50 years ago. Broccoli cultivation in Azuma Town seems to have started in the 1970s. At that time, we worked on cultivating multiple items such as Chinese cabbage, pumpkin, cauliflower, etc., including broccoli, but among them, broccoli, whose price is recovering quickly and is stable, seems to have increased the cultivated area. When the upland infrastructure development project (Yamadahara infrastructure development project) started in 1998, it seems that the development of hills, which had been narrow and poorly productive, was promoted, and the production of broccoli was promoted. In addition, I heard that conventional broccoli cultivation is a cultivation system centered on harvesting from the end of the year to the beginning of the year, and it is difficult to ship from April to October. In particular, in order to introduce spring cultivation (April-May), it was necessary to plant in the cold season (January-February), and it seems that it was necessary to raise seedlings and establish a cultivation method in the low temperature period. After that, as a method of securing the growth temperature, it seems that it succeeded in planting by introducing mulch and solid materials, and made it possible to cultivate in the spring. At that time, the Unzen Broccoli Subcommittee had 38 members and an area of ​​about 125 ha. The average area per house is 3.3 ha, which seems to be a large scale for cultivating items. At the time of its inauguration, many producers seemed to have positioned broccoli as part of their complex management, even though the subcommittee, which has many successors who will be responsible for the future. In addition, it seems that the planned shipment and planned sales were difficult, and it did not lead to sales at a stable price, so it was not an attractive item in agricultural management. For this reason, it seems that JA and the subcommittee have begun to work together to train farmers who specialize in broccoli and make them into production areas. It seems that the key to specialization was “labor saving and scale expansion.” It seems that a mechanized cultivation system was established by introducing cell seedling raising and semi-automatic transplanting machines, and by introducing machines such as ridge partial application machines, molding machines, and mulchers in line with the start of the Yamadahara upland field infrastructure development project. In addition, it seems that long-term shipping has become possible by starting spring cultivation. I have heard from acquaintances that these have made it possible to save labor for farmers by diversifying labor and avoid price risks, leading to stable management. Approximately 12 years ago, in 2001, by switching from vertical packing of 3 kg cardboard to horizontal packing of 6 kg cardboard, it became possible to significantly save labor in shipping adjustment work and further expand the scale. Seems to have advanced. At present, the whole amount is jointly selected by JA, and it seems that the producers have become a cultivation system that concentrates on production and harvesting work. Looking at the results in 2012, the average cultivated area of ​​the top 15 shippers was 5.2 ha (the average of the subcommittee was about 3.3 ha), and it seems that the shipment ratio to the shipment volume of the subcommittee was 80%. Specialization was progressing. Also, for producers other than the top shippers, the ratio of broccoli to individual management is steadily increasing, and it seems that the sales performance of the subcommittee has also increased significantly. The subcommittee is focusing on environmentally friendly broccoli cultivation, and in 2001, all members of the subcommittee were involved in the three technologies of Nagasaki Prefecture Eco Farmer (soil preparation, chemical fertilizer reduction, and chemical synthetic pesticide reduction based on sustainable farming methods). It seems that it has obtained the certification (agricultural person who implements the introduction integrally). In particular, pest control is an issue for year-end and spring cultivation that is planted in the summer, but pheromone traps are installed in the fields, and the use of pesticides is suppressed by timely control by prediction and spraying an appropriate amount of pesticides. In addition, by utilizing solid materials, it seems that measures are being taken to reduce pest damage and prevent bird feeding damage without relying on pesticides. As a measure against continuous cropping obstacles (Plasmodiophora brassicae: Many humps of various sizes are formed at the root. It seems that the whole root may be enlarged. The surface of the hump is white and smooth at first, but it turns brown and becomes rough, and eventually rots. False root-knot nematode is bigger than the hump and seems to have a smooth surface. In the above-ground part, the growth declines and the leaf color becomes pale, and the whole plant wilts on a sunny day. If you get sick early, you tend to die in the middle of growth. In a typical soil infectious disease, this fungus is a so-called absolute parasite that can only grow on the roots of a living host plant by living a parasitic life. The myriad dormant spores formed inside the root hump seem to be able to survive in the soil for several years without activity. The host plant is limited to Brassicaceae. “Radish” does not occur much, depending on the variety. It occurs violently in all other Brassicaceae crops and is presumed to be a common host. From dormant spores, at appropriate temperature and water, flagella form zoospores around the host root that can freely swim in the free water of the soil, reaching the host root and infecting. After infection, it is expected to proliferate and fill in the epidermal cells of the host root to form dormant spores.), soil preparation and prevention of topsoil runoff, it seems that green manure (Solgo) is planted every year after the broccoli planting is completed. In spring cultivation, biodegradable mulch is used as a measure against waste plastic, and the entire subcommittee is working on the reduction of mulch waste at the end of cultivation. In order to thoroughly implement such efforts for safety and security, we hold a regular meeting once a month and a meeting for each variety, and in terms of sales, we consider selling with the trading market twice a year in autumn / winter and spring. It seems that a meeting is being held. By starting the joint selection of all quantities by JA from 2011, it seems that it was possible to build a system where producers can concentrate on production and to prepare an environment for further scale expansion. The co-selection system seems to have contributed greatly to the improvement of the evaluation of the production area by making the quality uniform in terms of sales. The JA and the subcommittee seem to think that the quality evaluation of broccoli is in freshness. With the motto of freshness and trust in the production area, it seems that they have made efforts to maintain and control the product temperature. It seems that members are using tech mirror sheets (insulation coating sheets) to prevent the temperature from rising from harvest to shipment, including the maintenance of pre-coolers for individual producers. Various freshness-preserving bags have been used for the inner bags of corrugated cardboard, but with the freshness-preserving film “P-Plus” introduced in 2006 using MA packaging technology, the freshness of broccoli has been dramatically improved and sold in remote areas. I have heard that it has become possible, and I feel it. However, in the warm season after April, the occurrence of quality accidents such as yellowing during transportation will not disappear, and we may face a situation where the evaluation in the consumption area is lowered, so in the warm season at that time It seems that quality maintenance measures have become an issue. In order to overcome this situation, it seems that from 2011 to 2012, a low-temperature distribution facility was constructed and an ice machine was introduced by utilizing the national treasury subsidy project. It seems that the quality of broccoli shipped by ice stuffing has improved dramatically compared to any measures taken so far, and it is now possible to deliver it to the consumption area while maintaining its freshness. As a result, not only was it differentiated from other production areas, but it seems that it was possible to further expand sales channels such as contract sales. As of 2012, it seems that it had continued to do business with nine companies, mainly in the Kanto market, including markets in the Kansai and Chugoku regions. It seems that all the subcommittees want to meet the needs of the market and retailers, appeal the freshness, and secure more customers by shipping ice-packed products not only during the warm season but throughout the season. In addition to safety and security efforts, it seems that they are making daily efforts to deliver fresh broccoli to consumption, aiming for zero accidents. The Emperor's Cup, the Prime Minister's Award, and the Japan Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Promotion Association Chairman's Award received the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award at the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Festival Participation Awards (277 cases) over the past year (August 2018 to June 2019). It was decided from the 466 points that were given. Each award is given to seven categories: agriculture / silk thread category, horticulture category, livestock category, forestry category, fishery category, diversified management category, and murazukuri category. In addition, the Prime Minister's Award and the Japan Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Promotion Association Chairman's Award were awarded for the two points in which women are prominently active. Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Festival: Since 1962, co-sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Japan Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Promotion Association, in order to deepen public awareness of agriculture, forestry and fisheries and food, and to increase the motivation of agriculture, forestry and fisheries workers for technological improvement and management development. It seems to be implemented. The Unzen Broccoli Subcommittee of Unzen City has won the highest award “Emperor's Cup” in the horticultural category of the 58th Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Festival (sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries). In March 2019, it was selected as the grand prize in the group organization section of the 48th Japan Agricultural Awards (sponsored by the Central Union of Agricultural Cooperatives, etc.), and it seems that it was a feat of receiving consecutive domestic agricultural awards. I hear that the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Festival aims to deepen public awareness of agriculture, forestry and fisheries and food, and to motivate primary industry workers to improve their skills and develop their management. There are seven departments such as horticulture, livestock, and fisheries, and it seems that the Emperor's Cup will be given to the most excellent ones in each department. Since the subcommittee received the Governor's Award at the 2018 Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry Awards, it seems that it applied for the Japan Agriculture Award at the recommendation of the prefecture. He received the grand prize (Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award) here and is qualified to participate in the 2019 Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Festival. Since 1997, the subcommittee has been working on the development of agricultural land infrastructure and promoting the efficiency of work and the expansion of the cultivation area by introducing large agricultural equipment. It seems that the “Unzen Broccoli” brand has been established in the Tokyo metropolitan area by the shipping method that keeps the freshness by stuffing with ice, and the transaction price in the market is also high and stable. There are many young successors, and it is said that they are enthusiastic about researching varieties suitable for soil and climate. The Shimabara Unsen Agricultural Cooperative, which supports Japanese agriculture, employs specialized staff to hire farmers for the harvesting of open-field vegetables, which is difficult for the employment labor force to handle on the anniversary because the work is concentrated in a short period of time compared to facility vegetables. I've heard that the support has achieved a certain effect. As a method of securing a short-term labor force such as harvesting open-field vegetables, it seems that they have temporarily hired staff and have organized a new farming support corps for about 6 to 7 years. Compared to the working hours of open-field vegetables and the ratio of various working hours to the working hours, the working hours per 10 ares(100 m2 = 1 dam2)are much lower than the working hours of the facility vegetables, but the ratio of harvesting and preparation work to the working hours is the facility. It exceeds the number of vegetables, and the number of working hours is almost half of the working hours. In addition, facility vegetables have a long residence period and require a relatively uniform labor force, so even when seeking an external labor force, it is possible to hire employees on the anniversary of the year, whereas open-field vegetables are available. Since harvesting and preparation work is concentrated at a specific time of the year, it is necessary to hire short-term workers, and it is difficult to attract part-time workers who desire long-term employment. Although the working hours of open-field vegetables are shorter than those of facility vegetables, it seems that they are more susceptible to the decrease in labor force than facility vegetables in that it is difficult to secure a labor force. The jurisdiction has long formed an open-field vegetable production area, but as the scale of farmers is expanding, it seems that labor shortage at the time of harvest has become an issue for open-field vegetables, which are labor-intensive compared to rice cultivation. Under these circumstances, the former JA Shimabara, which had Shimabara City as its jurisdiction, was inspired by the fact that competing local merchants (fruit and vegetable traders) were evaluated by producers for harvesting contracts for potatoes, and about 26 to 7 years ago. It seems that they organized a digging group (harvesting group) to support the harvesting work. Although the area of ​​open-field vegetables has expanded due to the efforts of the digging team, it seems that other JAs on the Shimabara Peninsula have not introduced similar efforts. In 2008, at the request of producers, the JA will utilize a dispatching company to support the labor force at the time of harvesting for several large-scale farmers in spring and autumn crops. It seems that the model project was carried out with its own funds. However, it seems that the workers dispatched from the dispatched labor company have little experience in farming. Therefore, the year after starting the harvest labor support, Furusato Employment Revitalization Special Grant: Supporting efforts to create employment opportunities for local job seekers, etc. based on the actual situation and ingenuity of the region in the severe employment unemployment situation in the region. In order to do so, the national government will issue a special grant for employment rehabilitation to prefectures and create a fund based on this (fund creation is from 2009 to the end of 2011). Agricultural support corps establishment project: Nagasaki Prefecture has launched a fund project, and the prefecture and JA have signed a consignment contract to hire new staff annually to provide a labor force as a agricultural support corps to farmers who have problems such as labor shortages. Utilizing the “business provided”, the JA has organized the “Nagasaki Agricultural Support Corps” (38 members), which is directly hired as a temporary worker from July 2009. After that, in Unzen City, the same project as Nagasaki Prefecture (Unzen Municipal Agricultural Environment System Development Project) was launched, and since the JA was entrusted with this project, the “Unzen City Agricultural Support Corps” (21 members) from November of the same year.) organization. In organizing the agricultural support corps, the member hired as a temporary worker of the JA will utilize the experience of agricultural work support after the termination of the employment contract for 3 years, and will utilize the experience of agricultural work support, such as new farming, employment to a large-scale production corporation, etc. It seems that he thought that becoming a bearer was one of the purposes. Both the Nagasaki Agricultural Relief Corps and the Unzen City Agricultural Relief Corps have been carried out for three years, and it seems that the efforts have spread throughout the jurisdiction. As an effect of both projects, it became possible to expand the scale of farmers and maintain and expand the scale of production areas by providing free support for work that requires a lot of manpower, such as harvesting open-field vegetables. It seems that it can be mentioned. In addition, the Agricultural Support Corps is responsible for maintaining local farming, such as prompt recovery support for farmers affected by weather disasters, and labor support for farmers who cannot perform farm work due to sudden illness or injury, or for elderly farmers. Seems to have exerted great power. Furthermore, as an effect of the JA, it seems that by dispatching both agricultural support teams to unused and underutilized farmers of the JA project, it was possible to link to the shipment of new JAs such as potatoes and onions. In addition, 14 of the agricultural support members became the leaders of agricultural production in the jurisdiction after the end of the project (8 new farmers, 4 employment at agricultural corporations). This seems to have been a major achievement of both businesses. Since there were many farmers requesting business continuity after the completion of both projects, in April 2012, 38 members were continuously hired to form a “new farming support team” in consultation with Nagasaki Prefecture and three cities in the jurisdiction. It seems. The new farmer's support corps seems to be positioned as a JA utilization business whose main financial source is the usage fee (900 yen per hour (excluding tax)) collected from the farmers who support it. Looking at the activity status of the New Agricultural Support Corps for the three years up to FY2014, it seems that the number of members was 37 and the number of dispatches was 4494 at 7 farming centers. The activities included harvesting outdoor vegetables, which are labor-intensive items such as lettuce, potatoes, onions, and broccoli, as well as planting and managing facility vegetables such as strawberries and tomatoes. Also, during the off-season of vegetables, it seems that they are still devised so that they can work on the anniversary by being involved in the support of JA fruit sorting plant. In the past, when the farmer population was large and the average age was low, it seems that the labor shortage was supplemented throughout the region and the scale of production areas was expanded by the interchange of labor between farmers called join. However, at present, the farmer population is declining due to the aging of the population, and the labor force tends to be in short supply. There seems to be no. It is clear that it is not only large-scale farmers and young farmers, but all farmers in the region that support the scale of production in Japan. In order to permanently maintain and expand the scale of the production area, large-scale farmers may become more labor shortages due to further expansion, and young farmers will eventually become elderly farmers. There is no doubt that the supply of quality labor is essential. However, it seems that it is difficult to secure the short-term employment labor required for labor-intensive items such as open-field vegetables. As of 2018, the JA has jurisdiction over the agricultural products produced, and consists of a total of 225 members, including 6 subcommittees (Japanese radish, carrot, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, fruit vegetables, ginger) and 2 study groups (soft vegetables, strawberry). It seems that it produces and sells about 30 kinds of vegetables a year, mainly in facilities and open-air vegetables throughout the year. In particular, for radish and carrots, it is fully equipped with a large joint fruit sorting plant, and it seems that long-term stable shipments are being carried out from autumn / winter crops to spring crops. What is characteristic is that it actively provides labor support centered on the harvesting of agricultural products throughout the year. At that time, it seems that a total of 46 harvesting workers were dispatched to farmers to harvest, with 25 part-time workers and 5 foreign workers joining from 2020, centered on 16 JA Shimabara Unzen Agricultural Support Corps.In the case of farmer-centered harvesting, the daily yield becomes unstable, and at the same time, the capacity of the fruit sorting facility cannot be fully demonstrated. This is because it seems that stable yields will be realized, and at the same time, the daily fruit sorting capacity of the fruit sorting facility will be fully demonstrated, and it will be possible to stably ship fruits and vegetables for a long period of time. Regarding the cultivation of ginger in the former Shimabara City, it was 21 ha at the time of 2004 (published by the Statistics Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries), but at that time, methyl bromide(CH3Br: At the 2018 Montreal Protocol Conference of the Parties (MOP31), it was designated as an ozone-depleting substance like chlorofluorocarbons, and it is used as an “essential use” for some treatments such as soil fumigation where methyl bromide is indispensable. Is recognized. However, from the viewpoint of international global environmental protection, there has been a movement in recent years that even essential uses should be completely abolished, and in Japan as well, the “national management strategy for methyl bromide for essential uses” has been formulated and odorized. We are working to develop and disseminate alternative technologies for the total abolition of methyl. CH3Br is a colorless gas with a boiling point of 4 ° C at normal temperature and pressure. It is heavier than air and tends to easily liquefy below the critical point. Also, it seems to be odorless except for the chloroform-like odor at high concentration. In air, it is non-flammable except at concentrations in the range of 10-16%, but seems to burn in oxygen. It dissolves only slightly in water, but seems to dissolve well in other common solvents. It seems possible to penetrate through many substances such as concrete, leather, rubber and some plastics. It hydrolyzes into methanol and hydrobromic acid in water, and the rate of hydrolysis seems to depend on pH. It is an effective methylating agent that reacts with amines and sulfur-containing compounds. The majority of metals are pure, dry and inert, but zinc, tin, aluminum and magnesium appear to cause surface reactions in the presence of impurities or moisture. Also, it seems that an explosive reaction with aluminum and dimethyl sulfoxide has been reported. It was famous that it was available as a commercial product as a liquefied gas. The formulation for fumigation of soil seems to include chloropicrin (about 2%) or amyl acetate (about 0.3%) as a warning agent. Other formulations appear to contain up to 70% chloropicrin or other fumigation disinfectants and hydrocarbons as an inert diluent. It seems that 100% methyl bromide is used for fumigation disinfection of products. Further, analytical methods for measuring the concentration of methyl bromide in air, water, soil, food, and animal feed are known. Direct measurements in air and in the field seem to include thermal conductivity gas analysis, colorimetric detector tubes, infrared analysis, and photoionization detectors. The ocean is considered the main source. For GC measurements in water, purge, trap, headspace sampling samples, for normal analysis of CH3Br in food in a suitable container, with ECD of headspace capillaries after extraction with acetone and water. Gas chromatography seems to be recommended. It seems that bromide measurement is also being considered for some of the soil, food, and biological samples that have been converted to bromide. I hear that colorimetric quantification, X-ray spectroscopy, potential difference measurement, neutron activation analysis, gas chromatography, and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are some of the methods used to measure bromide in various media.)used for soil disinfection was designated as an ozone-depleting substance, and in 2005. Pythium zinziberis(It seems that the ground part of the leaf sheath and the buds become wet brown or dark green. Later, the lesions tend to soften and rot, and the above-ground parts tend to turn yellowish brown and die. The rhizomes turn pale and appear to rot. It seems that white cotton-like mold may grow on the surface of the affected area. The pathogen seems to survive with the residue of the diseased plant. It seems to get sick when planting the affected rhizome. In the year when it rains a lot after June, there is a tendency for the disease to occur more often in fields with poor drainage. It is good to plant disease-free rhizomes without continuous cropping. Also, dig a drainage ditch so that rainwater does not collect in the field.), which is the main disease of ginger, because it was completely abolished in Japan. The cultivated area gradually decreased (cultivated item conversion: spinach, small watermelon, etc.) due to concerns about damage to Takahashi and the slump in prices due to the increase in imported ginger. It seems that it was canceled. Regarding the farmland in the former Shimabara City, although the upland irrigation was maintained, the upland comprehensive maintenance project started in 2014 due to the dispersion of irregular farmland and the deterioration of the conventional irrigation facilities (Since the comprehensive upland field maintenance project (scheduled to continue until 2026 (current plan)) was partially completed in 2013, it became possible to cultivate irrigation in new fields, and although it is not complete, It seems that the cultivated area is currently on a recovery trend because the soil disinfection technology has been replaced by a treatment method using chemicals and the price has become relatively stable due to the increasing demand for domestic ginger. The variety is “Nagasaki Large Ginger” (main production areas are Toishi, Koga, Higashi Nagasaki, Mogi district. Unlike ordinary vegetables that are standardized all year round, it has a unique taste, aroma, and flavor. However, on the other hand, it is a product that is disappearing from the production site because it is a delicate vegetable that is vulnerable to diseases and takes time to cultivate. However, food safety and local ingredients Now that “food education” using ginger is attracting attention, there seems to be a growing movement to review the goodness and safety of traditional Nagasaki vegetables and bring them back to the table as a property of Nagasaki. With the cooperation of agricultural organizations, food-related organizations and consumers, Nagasaki traditional vegetables are expected to play a major role in revitalizing agriculture in Nagasaki and in terms of local production and local consumption). If the house is not heated, the plants are planted from March to April and harvested from August to September. In the case of open fields, planting is done from April to May, and I heard that it is from late October to November. In addition, the house new ginger harvested from August to September is washed, sorted, and boxed by JA fruit sorting workers, and is shipped mainly to the Chugoku / Kyushu market as new ginger. Ginger in Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture is cultivated in abundant water and nature. It is clear that the refreshing flavor stimulates the sense of smell and has an appetite-promoting effect, and also has the effect of promoting metabolism and warming the body. In addition, it is used in many Chinese herbal medicines as a crude drug, and its effects include gastric mucosa protection, gastric health by promoting gastric fluid secretion, promotion of sweating action, colds, and anti-nausea, but its effects are not limited. Gingerol and shogaol, which are pungent ingredients, are abundant in raw ginger, and their strong bactericidal action can be expected to prevent food poisoning in addition to improving the mouth and appetite. In addition, it is highly expected to work to help recovery from fatigue and healing power against diseases by anti-inflammatory action and digestive promotion action. Nagasaki Prefecture’s located in the westernmost part of the mainland, in the northwestern part of Kyushu. It has a prefecture area of ​​213 km east-west and 307 km north-south. A major topographical feature is that about 80% of the land consists of peninsulas and islands, and the land is rich in undulations, so it seems that the land is scarce. The average annual temperature in the northwestern part of the Shimabara Peninsula, which is the main production area of ​​potatoes, is 15.7 degrees Celsius, and the annual rainfall is 2300 mm. It is an area with a long frost-free period from early April. In addition, many typhoons approach and land, which can cause enormous damage to agricultural products, and it is said that farming is carried out under severe land and weather conditions. In the prefecture, the spring potatoes, which are called “New Potatoes” in the market and are shipped from April to June, seem to start harvesting starting from Fukue Island in the Goto Islands. It seems that it will move to the northwestern part of the Shimabara Peninsula and will reach the end in the Iimori district of Isahaya city on the opposite bank. I heard that all of them are cultivated in warm regions facing the sea. It is said that Nagasaki Prefecture's potatoes entered Nagasaki Port from Java (now Indonesia) in 1598 by the Dutch. After that, I heard that it has been cultivated all over the country while being used as a famine crop during several famines. According to records since the beginning of the modern era, about 500 ha was cultivated at the end of the Meiji era, and it seems that the largest area was 2987 ha in 1945 and 8570 hectares in 1954 immediately after the end of the war. However, from the following year, it started to decrease, and it is said that it will be 4000 ha in 2013. Cultivation is divided into five cropping types, mainly in the autumn cropping from September to December and the spring cropping from March to June, which can secure the optimum temperature for growth, resulting in five cropping patterns, and the harvest is in November. It seems to be mid-June of the following year. Autumn cultivation is mainly cultivated on the Shimabara Peninsula, and the shipment volume is about 5,500 tons. Since it is cultivated in the open field, it is easily affected by the drought in autumn, and the yield is small due to the time of the typhoon, so the crop seems to be unstable. Autumn mulch cultivation seems to be cultivated in the warm areas of the Shimabara Peninsula, where the first frost is delayed. The shipment volume is about 4500 tons. Winter tunnel cultivation is mainly cultivated on Fukue Island, and the shipment volume is about 300 tons. Previously, it was actively planted on the Shimabara Peninsula, but it seems that it has shifted from tunnels to non-woven solid coating due to the inability to secure yields for the labor and cost. At the southern tip of the Shimabara Peninsula, which is the main cropping type of the prefecture and is a frost-free area, it seems that the harvest is from late April to mid-June when the rain falls. The shipment volume was about 37,000 tons in 2015. Since the yield is affected by frost damage, it seems that a non-woven solid coating is used as in winter crops in order to secure a stable and early shipment volume. Since it is cultivated twice a year in spring and autumn, unique varieties suitable for double-cropping in warm regions are cultivated. In 1971, the high-yielding and tasty “Dejima” was cultivated in both spring and autumn, and in 1978, the extremely high-yielding “Nishiyutaka(In 1970, at the Nagasaki Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry Center Aino Potato Center, artificial mating of “Dejima” as a mother and father “Chokei No. 65” was carried out (Saikai No.15). In 1978, it was registered as a variety as “Bareisho Norin No.23”. Suitable for warm southwestern regions, excellent in fertility. Expected to grow and harvest in spring and autumn(Since the crops were swollen and the yield was high, the cultivation increased rapidly especially in spring mulching since 1985.)The flesh is pale yellow and the flesh is moist. The leaf color's dark green, which is slightly darker than “Dejima”. The leaflets are a little thick inside and reach a little sparse. Plasmodium resistance major gene : Epidemic resistance leading gene, Ralstonia solanacearum(bacterial disease of eggplant: To provide a bacterial wilt disease resistant inducer which contains a compound indicating resistant induction activity against a bacterial wilt disease as an effective component, and a bacterial wilt disease prevention method using the compound : Patent Office), Bacterial soft rot(soft rot pathogen: To provide a mass production method of seed potato seedlings, capable of preventing rot and soft rot of a rooting zone to increase probability of survival, and mass-producing at one time nondisease seed potato seedlings capable of increasing percentage of rootage when planting. To provide a method for increasing tubers such as calla tubers or the likes, achieved in increasing tubers such as calla tubers or the likes in a warm area such as Japan or the like, by inhibiting generation of soft rot and activities of endotrophic mycorrhiza - Patent Office)In addition, it is slightly stronger than “Mother: Dejima” and has moderate or higher resistance to tuber rot. Weak to powdery potato common scab (spongospora subterranea, causative strain, 16S rRNA gene (Prokaryote, gene sequence) or 16S rRNA gene to amplify between ITS region (Ribosomal DNA; rDNA; Eukaryote), a novel primer pair, And a method for detecting and identifying the causative strain of potato scab using them.(NEW PRIMER PAIR FOR AMPLIFYING BETWEEN ITS REGIONS FROM 16SrRNA GENE OR 16SrRNA GENE OF POTATO SCAB-CAUSING STRAIN, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND IDENTIFYING POTATO SCAB-CAUSING STRAIN WITH THE NEW PRIMER PAIR- Patent Office), From Potato mop-top virus, it is transmitted by tuber brown ring pattern disease. Somewhat weak resistance. However, the field resistance is quite strong. Since there's little dehiscence of potatoes and little breakage of foliage due to the wind, it's widely suitable for the second cropping area in western Japan.)” was cultivated, and it is said that it is now the main variety of round varieties. On the other hand, as soil diseases such as Spongospora subterranea and Pseudomonas solanacearum, and resistant varieties such as Globodera rostochiensis, Aiyutaka(According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration, this variety was bred by crossing “Dejima” with “Chokei No. 108”. The potato shape is oval, the skin color is white yellow, and the flesh color is pale yellow. Potato cyst nematode It is a variety suitable for cooking with resistance. The flora is slightly upright, the individual weight type and the number type are slightly individual weight type, the stem length is short, the thickness is medium, the stem color (primary color) is green, the number of branches is slightly small, and the leaf color is The density of green and leaflet is medium, the number of hair mushrooms on the leaves is small, the number of flowers is rare, the flower color (primary color) is reddish purple, the flower color (secondary color) is white, and the distribution is even. The length of the branch is a little short, the depth of the potato set is a little shallow, the length of the potato is a little long, the flatness is weak, the shape is oval, the skin color is white-yellow, the rough skin is slippery, the eyes The depth is extremely shallow, the flesh color is pale yellow, the dormant period is a little short, the dying period is medium, the early hypertrophy is a little fast, the upper potatoes are quite heavy, the number of upper potatoes is medium, and the average weight of one upper potato is a little. Large, slightly sticky to medium flesh, medium resistance to Y mosaic disease, weak resistance to epidemic field, and putative genotype of potato cyst nematode resistance is H1. Compared to “Dejima”, it has a shorter stem length, a reddish-purple flower color with white stripes, and a potato cyst nematode resistance putative genotype(Derived from the strain “CPC1673” cultivated in the highlands of South America, “Atlantic”, “Aiyutaka”, “Sayaka”, “Toya”, etc. have the “Rx” 1 gene: Potatoes) of H1, so it is compared with “Nishiyutaka”. Then, it is said that the distinction is recognized by the fact that the flower color is reddish purple and white stripes are included, the rough skin of the epidermis is slippery, and the putative genotype of potato cyst nematode resistance is H1.)” was cultivated in 2002 and “Sanjumaru(The origin of the variety name is that it has three excellent characteristics: “resistant to pests”, “high yield”, and “good appearance”. Announcement of variety registration application in August 2010.)” was cultivated in 2010. May queen is cultivated in spring crops and seems to ship about 8,000 tons from mid-May to June. The annual sales amount varies greatly depending on the year, and it seems that it is an item with large price fluctuations, but the handling volume has remained relatively stable at 40,000 to 50,000 tons in the past 10 years (as of 2015). Seems to be there. This is because more than 80% of the handling volume utilizes ALIC's designated vegetable price stabilization business, so risk management when the market selling price falls functions and reproduction is secured. This seems to be because it greatly contributes to the maintenance of production area and quantity. The shipping period is from November to July, and the main shipping time is from May to June. It seems that the occupancy rate of Nagasaki potatoes in the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market in 2014 was 46% in May and 56% in June, and 72% in May and 82% in June in the Osaka Central Wholesale Market. “Shimabara Unzen Japan Agricultural Cooperatives”, The Shimabara Peninsula(138.3 km around the southeast of Nagasaki Prefecture and 459.36 km area occupies 11.2% of the whole prefecture. The Unzen Mountains at the center and a gentle hill area approximately 24 km east-west and 32 km north-south. Mt. Fugendake: 1,359 m, It consists of a plain extending along the coast, and the annual average temperature is mild at 16 ° C. Some areas are frost-free. It's blessed with 2,000 mm of annual precipitation, 2,200 hours of sunshine per year, and weather conditions.), which is in jurisdiction, is blessed with natural conditions such as soil and weather conditions. Shimabara City, Located at the eastern end of the Shimabara Peninsula in the southeast. It covers an area of ​​82.96 km2 and occupies about 18% of the Shimabara Peninsula. In the center is a sloping land that extends to the Ariake Sea on the east side centering on Mt. Mayu (elevation 818.7 m). There is a large-scale collapse trace in 1792 on the eastern slope, and many Nagareyama are distributed from the lower part of the collapse to the sea area around Kujuku island. Behind it is Unzenhugendake, which erupted in 1990 for the first time in 198 years. The lava dome was named “Heiseishinzan” in 1996. The number of farm households accounts for 24% of the prefecture as a whole, and the amount of agricultural output accounts for about 43%. Shimabara City is a representative agricultural area(Recent data). It is a relatively warm area, and although there are paddy fields in the coastal area, upland fields occupy more than paddy fields. Around the Miebard upland field, radishes, carrots, Chinese cabbage, ginger, lettuce, watermelon and other open-field vegetable production areas are formed. Fruit vegetables such as tomato in the summer and house ginger are cultivated in institutional cultivation, and a typical complex management is carried out. Cross-item management stabilization measures target only at eligible and ambitious “principal farmers (certified farmers and village-based farming organizations that meet certain conditions)”, for the stabilization of their farm management, unlike conventional stabilization measures devised for individual commodities of all farmers. It is certified as an Eco farmer and is also working on the Nagasaki Prefecture version of GAP(Sustainable agricultural management for the future as well for environmental protection sustainable. We should ensure that natural resources are managed properly in order to make agricultural development-Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry-Support was provided for initiatives to secure the trust of consumers and stimulate domestic markets by such means as improving the quality control of food products through the introduction of HACCP practices and adoption of ordinary hygiene control in the food industry, rigorous compliance, and voluntary labeling of places of origin of ingredients in accordance with guidelines.(Hazard analysis important control points): Support will be provided to small and medium food manufacturers, etc., by organizing human resource development workshops and providing technical information in order to further promote the improvement of control of food manufacturing processes (through hazard analysis and critical control point (HAACP) procedures).). For management, a field ledger is created and soil analysis is carried out for each stroke. We will work on soil improvement and fertilizer application design in light of past data, and strive to reduce fertilizer to the level of special cultivation. Conduct a planting survey in advance to ensure planned and stable shipments. The Seven Wonders of Shimabara(The exit and entrance, the name of the town is just the opposite.)are wonders taught in Shimabara (the entertainment area in Kyoto City). 島原のシマバライチゴ自生地 - Minamisenbongi Town - 1960年3月22日 : The vine of this strawberry is thin and strong, and extends to a length of 5 m. Also, the thorns of the vine entangle with other things and climb up. It is so overgrown that you can't even set foot in the colony. It blooms in autumn, and tufted, sour fruits ripen red in winter. “Minamishimabara City”, Blessed with a warm climate, moderate rainfall and sunshine hours, it is famous as an area where agricultural products can be easily cultivated. Located in the southeastern part of the Shimabara Peninsula, in the southern part of Nagasaki Prefecture. It borders Shimabara City in the north and Unzen City in the west. Facing the Amakusa area of ​​Kumamoto prefecture across the Ariake Sea, I am deeply moved by the memories I visited once. It has a land containing fertile and abundant groundwater that extends south from the foot of Mt. Unzen, which exceeds 1,000 m. It also has a coastline that faces the Ariake Sea and Tachibana Bay, which are rich in seafood. Agriculture, forestry and fishing are carried out by the residents. Historically, there was a time when Christianity was introduced to this area in the 1560s and Christian culture prospered. The Edict expelling Jesuit missionaries was a prohibition document concerning the mission of Christianity and trade with Spain and Portugal issued by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI in Chikuzen Hakozaki, in July 24, 1587 : There are many historical heritage sites in the city that show the light and shadow of Christianity in Japan. 1637: Shimabara-Amakusa ikki (Shimabara War): The Shimabara War broke out, lasting two years from 1637 to 1638. In such a situation, the occurrence of Shimabara / Amakusa uprisings led the bakufu to the complete prohibition of Christianity and the complete national isolation that allowed only bakufu-controlled trade. “Hara Castle Ruins” is “Hidden Christian-related heritage of Nagasaki and Amakusa Region” : Registered for UNESCO World Cultural Heritage on June 30, 2018. The shimabara peninsula area has been certified as the first in Japan by the global geopark networks, which is said to be the geological version of the world heritage(Unzen Volcanic Area Geopark: In 2009, with Itoigawa in Niigata and Mt. Toyakousu(Lake Toya Mt. Usu)in Hokkaido). An area where you can feel the heartbeat of the earth and the history of the earth. “City designated cultural property”, Uchiishibashi group(Kitaarima Town): It was built from the late Edo period to the early Showa period. About 10 arch bridges made of natural stones and cut stones are left in the Arima River system in Kitaarima Town. The construction of the arch bridge requires a high level of technology because the strength of the stones is maintained by the weight of the stones. Natural stones are used for most of the stone bridges such as wall stones. At first glance, it looks like a rough structure, but in reality, it requires more skill to combine stones that are not standard products. I hear that the biggest advantage is that it is relatively easy to procure materials. Since the bridge is also a part of the living road, it requires quick repair. It can be said that the skillful skills of the masons closely supported people's lives. The scenery where the stone bridge is in harmony with the river and fields is also beautiful. We will support the cultivation of ‘Bananas’, which are expected to be new high-profit and high-value-added crops. Liability Company(LLC.), which develops business by utilizing subsidiary aid. We received 100 seedlings from company limited, an agricultural corporation that grows bananas in Kagoshima and Saga. ‘Freeze-thaw awakening method’ : By freezing and thawing growing cells for half a year and applying special treatment, resistance to cold and diseases becomes stronger. The Banana applied this time is pesticide-free and does not use pesticides or cleaning agents, so the skin is thin and the whole skin can be eaten. The sugar content is 25 degrees, which is much higher than the general 15 degrees, and is characterized by its rich sweetness and mellow aroma. About 150 trees can be harvested from one tree, and mature bananas are scheduled to be harvested around the summer of 2021. When it was transmitted, it was around last fall and before my favorite winter. ‘Arima Christian Heritage Museum’ - Minamiarima Town - The background behind the 250 years of Christianity's hiding : The process leading to the suppression of Christianity, 1637 : Shimabara-Amakusa riot (Shimabara War) situation is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner. Hei, Minamiarima Town: Seibo Park is an art park that exhibited works in the birthplace of Seibo Kitamura(Graduated from the sculpture department of Tokyo Fine Arts School (currently Tokyo University of the Arts) in 1912. His career In 1908, “Indignation” was selected for the first time at the 2nd Art Exhibition (Bun Exhibition) of the Ministry of Education. He has been exhibiting every year since then, and the 10th “Evening Bell” will be the chief of choice. In 1919 he became a judge for the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition and formed the Hibarasha in the same year. He was a professor at Tokyo Beauty School from 1921 to 1944, and became a member of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in 1924 and a member of the Japan Art Academy in 1947. He specializes in heroic human figures, and before the war he worked on equestrian statues of military personnel and statues of great men. After the war, he became a central member of the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition sculpture department, focusing on peace and freedom. In 1951, he was requested by Nagasaki Prefecture to build an atomic bomb monument at the hypocenter of the atomic bombing, and in 1955 he completed the “Nagasaki Peace Memorial Statue”.), a sculptor who was born in Minamiarima Town, Minamishimabara City and is famous for the creator of the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Statue. In the wooden memorial hall where the garden and the birthplace were restored, about 60 works such as “Peace Statue”, sculptors, books and paintings are exhibited, and you can see the condensed essence of Seibo art. It seems. Also, from the park with a good view overlooking Amakusa Nada, you can see the nationally designated historic site “Hara Castle Ruins” known for the Shimabara Rebellion. “Unzen City”, It is located in the south, northwestern part of the Shimabara Peninsula. Tachibana Bay(was originally called Chijiwa-nada Open Sea or Chijiwa Bay, but in 1919 when TACHIBANA's statue was constructed in Chijiwa Town (present Chijiwa Town, Unzen City, Nagasaki Prefecture), the persons concerned submitted a petition to change the denomination of Chijiwa-nada Open Sea to Tachibana Bay.) faces the west bank and the Ariake Sea faces the east bank. The total area is 214.31 km2, which occupies 5.2% of the whole prefecture. Some are designated as Unzenamakusa National Park, the first national park in Japan. The climate is blessed with warm and rainy conditions, making it one of the prefecture's leading tourist destinations. Seven towns were merged in 2005. Kojirokoji (Unzen City, Nagasaki Prefecture): Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings. Tachibana Bay was originally called Chijiwanada Open Sea or Chijiwa-wan Bay, but in 1919 when TACHIBANA's statue(Mr. Tachibana Died in this battle, and posthumously he was promoted to the Lieutenant Colonel of the Infantry Regiment of Army and conferred the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette and the Order of Golden Kite, Fourth Class.): He was a lieutenant colonel and worked as an educator for Emperor Taisho.)was constructed in Chijiwa Town (present Chijiwa Town, Unzen City, Nagasaki Prefecture), the persons concerned submitted a petition to change the denomination of Chijiwa-nada Open Sea to Tachibana Bay. Similar Ushioni festivals or cow god festivals are also held in the following places: Minamitakaki County, Nagasaki Prefecture (present-day Unzen City); Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture; and Ichiki-cho, Hioki County, Kagoshima Prefecture (present-day Ichiki-kushikino City); under the name of 'Toshimon,' 'Ushonin,' and 'Tsukuimon' respectively. Finally, I think the excellent varieties such as “Wase Haraguchi(early ripening: In 1969, nagasaki prefecture Nishisonogi District Saikai Town: Current Saikai City(Even today, they sometimes set shorobune afloat on rivers or on the sea in Shimabara City, Saikai City, Matsuura City, and Goto City.)” : In the Miyagawa early mandarin orange field of Mr. Seiji Haraguchi in the mountains, only one tree that bears extremely sweet fruits was found.)and Sasebo Wenzhou (Virus‐free: Once infected, plants cannot be excluded from immunity and cannot escape the virus for the rest of their lives; After detoxifying the virus, in 1998, the sale of seedlings to mandarin orange producing areas in Nagasaki Prefecture became popular. The harvest season is expected from late November to early December, about 10 days later than “Wase Miyagawa oranges”, (early), and it is famous as a Nakate species.)are wonderful. Very early harvesting: “Wase Iwasaki” : This is a bud mutation of Wase Okitsu found by Mr. Denichi IWASAKI of Saikai Town, Nishisonogi District, (today's Saikai City,) Nagasaki Prefecture in 1968. The history of Nagasaki mandarin is that in 1780 (Tenmei era), Omura feudal lord, Sumiyasu OMURA-Ko, Satsuma feudal lord “Nagashima mandarin” (Izumi District (former: Higashi Town) Nagashima Town unshu mandarin), Ikiriki, Sonogi District. It is said that it started to be cultivated by Mr. Yuemon Tanaka, Mr. Rinemon Tanaka, Mr. Tsuguemon Nakamichi and others in the village (currently Tarami Town, Sonogi District).(Citrus Unshiu has heard that the seeds brought back from China by the envoy to Tang China began to bear fruit and were found in Kagoshima.)The saplings were shipped nationwide when the high-quality “Satsuma mandarin” was cultivated from the Ikiriki region. This is called “Ikiriki Citrus unshu”. In 1876, mandarin oranges were sold by hand in the castle town. In addition, from around 1887, the production area of ​​mandarin oranges was expanded in Ikiriki Village, and even today, the area is the main production area in Nagasaki Prefecture. From 1961, “Act on Special Measures for Promotion of Fruit Tree Agriculture (Government Ordinance No. 145)”, the Nagasaki Prefecture Citrus Promotion Plan was formulated, and the citrus cultivation area is rapidly increased throughout the prefecture. Demand for fruit trees in Japan is generally declining and stagnant, and there is a growing tendency for small quantities to be sold as other items and for good quality. Many fruits, including mandarin oranges, are in overproduction. There are increasing demands from other countries to expand imports of fruits and fruit products. In order to achieve sound development, it is necessary to deal with the overproduction trend of fruits. Induce production that responds to trends. Fostering independent fruit tree farmers who can be the core players in the production area. And it is necessary to further strengthen the constitution of fruit tree agriculture. The system for promoting fruit tree agriculture was strengthened(Partial amendment of Law No. 15, July 1, 1985). To the prefectural governor, the then Vice-Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries(Mr. Kenichi KAKUDO: Japanese agriculture and forestry bureaucrats. He served as the Commissioner of the Forestry Agency and the Vice-Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and after retiring he was the president of the Norinchukin Bank, and died in 2013.). In 1597, Nagasaki was the first onion to land in Japan by a Portuguese ship. The production of early-maturing onions is thriving, and it has a good reputation for its freshness and good taste. I hear that potato was introduced from Jakarta to nagasaki by a Dutch ship in 1598. It boasts the second largest production volume after Hokkaido, and Minamishimabara City is one of the leading production areas in the prefecture. Cultivation started in earnest in the Meiji era, and now it is cultivated based on two crops, spring and autumn, taking advantage of the warm climate. Asparagus officinalis was introduced to Nagasaki as ornamental from the Netherlands during the Edo period. There are spring and summer seasons, and spring asparagus grows slowly over time, so it has a strong sweetness and is rich in minerals and especially vitamin C. Summer asparagus has a beautiful light green color because it grows at a stretch due to the blessings of the daytime sun, and it is soft to the vicinity of the root. I hear that the bright red tomatoes were introduced to Nagasaki from the Netherlands at the end of the 17th century. As of 2021, according to the prefecture, Nagasaki, which is blessed with sunshine conditions, is suitable for mandarin orange cultivation, and it seems that the shipment volume was the 5th largest in Japan and boasted a 6-7% share. Various varieties are cultivated from the north to the south, but in the jurisdiction, “Ajinishiki, Nanko's self-confidence, Daiseikai”, etc. are listed as special products. All of them are characterized by a strong sweetness with a sugar content of 12 degrees or more. Kuchinotsu, Minamishimabara City, Fruit Tree Experiment Station, Citrus Club (Kuchinotsu, Minamishimabara) : It takes about 15 years to develop and nurture. Friends of Nagasaki Koi(Yearning)Mikan(Mandarin); SETOKA Mandarin Orange: It is famous as a tangor that was bred by crossing “Murcott Orange” with kiyomi Orange with Angkor No. 2 Orange of the breeding system. A small-nucleus variety with large fruits, soft and juicy, aroma, high sugar content and good taste. Middle-aged Citrus L. matures from January to February. The fruit surface is smooth, the fruit shape is oblate with a high waist, and the skin is orange to dark orange. Thin, easy to peel, with a medium aroma similar to Angkor or Murcott. The flesh is dark orange, the sac is thin, the flesh is soft and juicy, and the number of seeds tends to be small, about 0-5. And it seems that parthenocarpy(Ovary wall and flower bed enlarge and form fruit without fertilization)is strong. The fruiting is good and it is easy to get results every year. Strong tendency to streptomyces spp., Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri. It is Susceptibility against citrus tristeza virus (ctv), and the incidence of stem pitting(Easily propagated by Toxoptera citricida Kirkaldy, and also propagated by cotton aphids at a low rate)is high. Since one ball is heavy, it is necessary to manually support it so that the branches do not break due to its own weight as it grows. Application No. 10852 Date of application 1998/04/09 Date of publication of application 1999/03/18. Registration number 9398 Registration date 2001/10/18. Plant Variety Protection and Seed Act, Act No. 83 of May 29, 1998 : 25 years of breeder's rights ; National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, NARO. Unique sweetness, chewy texture, and wonderful fragrance. Citrus ”Three great elements”. 

The fruit shape is oblate, the skin is orange to dark orange, the thickness is thin, and the peeling is medium to easy. The fruit surface is smooth, but it seems that oil vesicles are conspicuous. There is a medium scent of Murcott. The flesh is orange, the sac is extremely thin, and the flesh is soft and juicy. The ripening period is February and the taste is rich. The sugar content of fruit juice is about 12 to 13, and the citric acid content seems to be 0.8 to 1.2 g / 100 ml at the appropriate ripening stage. Male sterile and parthenogenetic, the fruits are usually nucleated. Since the maturity period of Setoka is the extremely cold season in February, I heard that it is suitable for warm citrus cultivation areas where fruits can overwinter on trees, or for institutional cultivation. In addition, since the tree vigor is a little weak, it seems necessary to maintain and strengthen the tree vigor by paying attention to proper fruit set and thoroughly managing fertilization.

There are many splinters (thorn, leaf spine, prickle) on the branches, and because the skin is thin, it is easily scratched and difficult to cultivate, so it is loved and carefully cultivated as a high-class citrus fruit.

KIYOMI, which Japanese people like, is crossed with fragrant ANGKOR, followed by MURCOTT with rich taste. A citrus thoroughbred that collects only three kinds of delicious places.

Alzheimer's disease is thought to occur when amyloid β protein accumulates in the brain, causing damage to the cranial nerves. It is difficult to accurately measure very small concentrations, about 1/50 of the cerebrospinal fluid, and blood Aβ with conventional techniques, and amyloid β begins to accumulate in the brain about 20 years before the onset of impossibility. It seems. Therefore, it is important to notice and prevent at the stage of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Subjective Cognitive Decline. One of the causative factors of Alzheimer's disease in collaboration with the National Research and Development Corporation, Industrial Technology Research Institute, Biomedical Research Division, Brain Genetics Research Group, Hokkaido University Graduate School of Advanced Life Sciences, and Juntendo University School of Medicine, Department of Neurology. Developed a technology to visualize the dynamics of a certain amyloid β (Aβ) protein in living nerve cells and in vivo. This technology is expected to contribute to the screening of candidate substances for Alzheimer's disease therapeutic agents using cultured cells and living individuals, and to the elucidation of the onset mechanism of Alzheimer's disease. Details of this achievement were published in Scientific Reports (Sci. Rep. Nature Research) magazine (electronic version, open access) on March 16, 2016. Aβ polymerizes easily, and it further aggregates to form large aggregates. It seems that the protein (Aβ-GFP), which is a fusion of Aβ and the fluorescent protein GFP, is presumed to inhibit the fluorescence of GFP by the polymerization of Aβ. Therefore, even if it is expressed in vivo, fluorescence is not observed when Aβ is polymerized, and it seems that it has been difficult to visualize the localization and dynamics of Aβ so far. Amino acid sequence linking Aβ and GFP (human insulin: In 1953, British chemist Frederick Sanger gave the 51 amino acid sequence of insulin (a hormone required for the use of glucose, etc.), which is a hormone secreted from the bovine pancreas. Prove by determination. Start with the short-chain primer binding next to the measurement region. In the presence of four types of nucleotides, the polymerase enzyme binds the complementary nucleotides of the template DNA to the primer and extends. The intention to determine the exact DNA sequence is to stop this reaction prematurely and identify the last base at which extension has stopped, but Frederick Sanger removes the oxygen atom from the ribonucleotide to cause the extension reaction. This is called a dideoxynucleotide, and when it is taken in instead of a ribonucleotide, it seems to act to stop the elongation reaction, as if throwing a wrench into a gear to stop the movement. Polymerizer (The information of the protein written in DNA is once transcribed into mRNA and then translated into amino acids by ribosome to form a protein. RNA polymerase is used to transfer DNA to mRNA. Gene DNA is used as a template for RNA. The four nucleosides (A: adenosine, U: uridine, G: guanosine, C: citidine) that form the basis of the amino acid are polymerized to synthesize mRNA.) The enzyme will not be able to add normal nucleotides to the DNA fragment in the future. In order to stop the elongation reaction and identify what the last base is, it seems that the dideoxynucleotides are labeled with a specific color of 4 for each base so that they can be identified. In the Frederick Sanger sequence, the 3'end. By devising a reaction product of various lengths that differs by one base, which ends with dideoxynucleotide, we have developed a fusion protein that allows observation of GFP fluorescence regardless of the polymerization state of Aβ. It also appears that this fusion protein forms a highly toxic Aβ oligomer that is involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Diagnostic imaging methods such as PIB-PET (PET examination using PIB (Pittsburgh compound-B) as a ligand that can image amyloid accumulated in the brain) are effective, but Aβ oligomers and tau oligomers should be targeted. It seems that it is not an amyloid plaque or a neurofibrillary tangle. In addition, Alzheimer's disease is said to be the most common type of dementia, and I hear that it is more common in women than in men. In addition, while the number of patients with cerebrovascular dementia is flat, it seems that there is a tendency for it to increase. Dementia is thought to occur when the neural network of the brain is destroyed. Nerve networks consist of nerve cells exchanging information via neurotransmitters, and the junction between nerve cells where this information is exchanged is called a synapse. Impaired work seems to affect learning and memory. When not only the synaptic site but also the nerve cells themselves are damaged, causing cell death and starting to drop out, it seems that they become aware of forgetfulness (mild cognitive impairment). Eventually, when so many nerve cells are lost that the brain atrophies, it interferes with normal life and is diagnosed with dementia. In other words, many nerve cells have already died by the time dementia is diagnosed. And the dead nerve cells do not return to their original state and become the glory of the past. It is important to detect abnormalities before nerve cells begin to die and to start preventive treatment at an early stage.

February 1, 2022 A total of 16 land improvement districts in Minamishimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture merged to form the Minamishimabara Land Improvement Zone. With a total area of ​​932 hectares and 2163 union members (as of April 1, 2020), it is the largest in the prefecture. It seems that they will improve their constitution to respond to changes in agriculture by improving work efficiency and reducing costs. On February 1, the first board meeting was held, and Mr. Shiki (former chairman of the Onoue Polder Zone) was appointed as the chairman. The land improvement district is a farmer's union organization based on the Land Improvement Act (Land Improvement Act (1949 Act No. 195) Enforcement Date: April 1, 2020 (according to 2018 Act No. 12)). It seems that it will carry out farmland maintenance, new construction of drainage, maintenance, etc. Due to the merger, there are two land improvement districts in the city, “Minamishimahara Land Improvement Zone” and “Shimabara Fukae Land Improvement Zone” that straddles both Minamishimahara and Shimabara cities. On the same day, the ceremony to convey the merger permit was held at the Kitaarima Piloti Cultural Center Hinoe in Kitaarima Town, and it seems that 40 people concerned attended. The land improvement district is expected not only to improve the infrastructure of agricultural land, but also to take measures against villages. The prefecture, city, etc. will work together to provide support. Mr. Honda (former Chairman of the Arima Reclaimed Land Improvement Zone) decided to “proactively work on establishing an agricultural production base, appropriate maintenance of facilities, renewal projects, etc.” with “for union members” as the first priority. Seems to have been renewed. “Sezumezaki Lighthouse” in Minamishimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture, located at the southernmost tip of the Shimabara Peninsula, which connects Minamishimabara City, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, and Nagashima Town, Kagoshima Prefecture with two bridges. Amakusa Shimojima can be clearly seen beyond Hayasaki Seto, the distance is only about 5 km. Even after that, no concrete movements have been seen, and it seems that the interest of the residents is diminishing. Since the establishment of the council with the three prefectures of Kumamoto, Nagasaki, and Kagoshima at the local period association, etc., we have been making efforts toward realization. Although the investigation has been carried out concretely with an eye on it, the efforts of the domestic strait crossing project including this bridge concept have been frozen since 2008 due to the deterioration of the financial situation and the flow of review of large public projects. Under these circumstances, in Kumamoto, Nagasaki and Kagoshima prefectures, in order to increase the momentum for promoting construction, we will hold lectures on promoting the bridge concept, as well as exchange cooperation projects such as painting contests and soccer tournaments by elementary and junior high school students. (Confirmed that it will continue to be implemented by the three prefectures as a whole). Also, the secretariat of the “Shimabara / Amakusa / Nagashima Bridge Construction Promotion Council” organized by the three prefectures and local associations (Nagasaki Prefecture). (Inside the Community Development Promotion Division), “The severe situation has continued since the cross-strait project was frozen in 2008 due to the review of large-scale public projects in the country. , I want to promote active exchanges between regions and strive to foster momentum.” In addition, the annual estimated project cost of the council is about 4 million yen. We are trying to get excited through the youth soccer tournament and the painting contest, including the regional tournament that promises to realize this, but it seems that there are some events that have not been held recently due to the influence of the New Cov disaster. It is about 2 hours by car to Nagasaki city. The completion of the regional high-standard road “Shimabara Road” is still a long way off. It seems that there are many locals who think that the biggest obstacle to attracting companies and promoting industry and regions is the “road network”. In 2000, 57,000. The population of Minamishimabara City, which was a human, has decreased to about 43,500 as of December 2021. It seems that the population has decreased by more than 10,000 in the last 20 years. 15 to 64 years old) is on the decline.  It seems that the decline in regional vitality has also become noticeable. According to local residents, if the bridge is realized, it should be a detonator for the area. In particular, if a route to Kagoshima can be established, it will be a plus in terms of tourism. The local economy is also moisturized, and I hope that it will return to the time of the Corona disaster. Hope against hope: 一縷の望みを託す(A state where a very slight connection can be felt)to the chief and the country. Blessed with a warm climate, moderate rainfall and sunshine hours, it is famous as an area where agricultural products can be easily cultivated. Located in the southeastern part of the Shimabara Peninsula, in the southern part of Nagasaki Prefecture. It borders Shimabara City in the north and Unzen City in the west. Facing the Amakusa area of ​​Kumamoto prefecture across the Ariake Sea, I am deeply moved by the memories I visited once. It has a land containing fertile and abundant groundwater that extends south from the foot of Mt. Unzen, which exceeds 1,000 m. It also has a coastline that faces the Ariake Sea and Tachibana Bay, which are rich in seafood. Agriculture, forestry and fishing are carried out by the residents. Historically, there was a time when Christianity was introduced to this area in the 1560s and Christian culture prospered. The Edict expelling Jesuit missionaries was a prohibition document concerning the mission of Christianity and trade with Spain and Portugal issued by Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI in Chikuzen Hakozaki, in July 24, 1587 : There are many historical heritage sites in the city that show the light and shadow of Christianity in Japan. 1637: Shimabara-Amakusa Riot (Shimabara War): The Shimabara War broke out, lasting two years from 1637 to 1638. In such a situation, the occurrence of Shimabara / Amakusa uprisings led the bakufu to the complete prohibition of Christianity and the complete national isolation that allowed only bakufu-controlled trade. “Hara Castle Ruins” is “Hidden Christian-related heritage of Nagasaki and Amakusa Region” : Registered for UNESCO World Cultural Heritage on June 30, 2018. The shimabara peninsula area has been certified as the first in Japan by the global geopark networks, which is said to be the geological version of the world heritage(Unzen Volcanic Area Geopark: In 2009, with Itoigawa in Niigata and Mt. Toyakousu(Lake toya Mt. Usudake)in Hokkaido). An area where you can feel the heartbeat of the earth and the history of the earth. “City designated cultural property”, Uchiishibashi group(Kitaarima Town): It was built from the late Edo period to the early Showa period. About 10 arch bridges made of natural stones and cut stones are left in the Arima River system in Kitaarima Town. The construction of the arch bridge requires a high level of technology because the strength of the stones is maintained by the weight of the stones. Natural stones are used for most of the stone bridges such as wall stones. At first glance, it looks like a rough structure, but in reality, it requires more skill to combine stones that are not standard products. I hear that the biggest advantage is that it is relatively easy to procure materials. Since the bridge is also a part of the living road, it requires quick repair. It can be said that the skillful skills of the masons closely supported people's lives. The scenery where the stone bridge is in harmony with the river and fields is also beautiful. We will support the cultivation of ‘Bananas’, which are expected to be new high-profit and high-value-added crops. Liability Company(LLC.), which develops business by utilizing subsidiary aid. We received 100 seedlings from company limited, an agricultural corporation that grows bananas in Kagoshima and Saga. ‘Freeze-thaw awakening method’ : By freezing and thawing growing cells for half a year and applying special treatment, resistance to cold and diseases becomes stronger. The Banana applied this time is pesticide-free and does not use pesticides or cleaning agents, so the skin is thin and the whole skin can be eaten. The sugar content is 25 degrees, which is much higher than the general 15 degrees, and is characterized by its rich sweetness and mellow aroma. About 150 trees can be harvested from one tree, and mature bananas are scheduled to be harvested around the summer of 2021. When it was transmitted, it was around last fall and before my favorite winter. ‘Arima Christian Heritage Museum’ - 南有馬町 - The background behind the 250 years of Christianity's hiding : The process leading to the suppression of Christianity, 1637 : Shimabara-Amakusa riot (Shimabara War) situation is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner. Hei, Minamiarima Town: Seibo Park is an art park that exhibited works in the birthplace of Seibo KITAMURA(Graduated from the sculpture department of Tokyo Fine Arts School (currently Tokyo University of the Arts: Masterpiece: Taisuke ITAGAKI old man (inside the Diet Building); Peace Memorial Statue (Nagasaki Peace Park)) in 1912. His career In 1908, “Indignation” was selected for the first time at the 2nd Art Exhibition (Bun Exhibition) of the Ministry of Education. He has been exhibiting every year since then, and the 10th “Evening Bell” will be the chief of choice. In 1919 he became a judge for the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition and formed the Hibarasha in the same year. He was a professor at Tokyo Beauty School from 1921 to 1944, and became a member of the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts in 1924 and a member of the Japan Art Academy in 1947. He specializes in heroic human figures, and before the war he worked on equestrian statues of military personnel and statues of great men. After the war, he became a central member of the Japan Fine Arts Exhibition sculpture department, focusing on peace and freedom. In 1951, he was requested by Nagasaki Prefecture to build an atomic bomb monument at the hypocenter of the atomic bombing, and in 1955 he completed the “Nagasaki Peace Memorial Statue”.), a sculptor who was born in Minamiarima Town, Minamishimabara City and is famous for the creator of the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Statue. In the wooden memorial hall where the garden and the birthplace were restored, about 60 works such as “Peace Statue”, sculptors, books and paintings are exhibited, and you can see the condensed essence of Seibo art. It seems. Also, from the park with a good view overlooking Amakusa Nada, you can see the nationally designated historic site “Hara Castle Ruins” known for the Shimabara Rebellion. Fukae Buried Cultural Property / Eruption Disaster Museum (Bo, Fukae Town): Exhibits of excavated ruins (earthenware, etc.) and photographs of the Unzen Fugendake eruption disaster. Access is a 20-minute walk from the Shimabara Railway Bus “Front Monument” bus stop, in front of the Sabo Miraikan and the former Onokoba Elementary School damaged school building. The former Onokoba Elementary School disaster-stricken school building erosion control Mirai Hall, also located in Bo, Fukae Town, is a disaster prevention sabo learning facility that inherits the actual situation of volcanic disasters and is the core facility of the Ministry of Construction's utilization concept disaster memorial zone. The large pyroclastic flow that occurred at 18:54 on September 15, 1991 burned down the elementary school along with 153 building of nearby private houses. In the town, although evacuation was thorough and there was no human damage, it is preserved as one of the pyroclastic flow remains and sabo learning bases that inherit the wonder of this disaster and the wonder of natural disasters. There is also the Onokoba Sabo Miraikan, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and it seems that you can observe the disaster situation and reconstruction through photographs and panels. Heisei Shinzan peaked at an altitude of 1488 m in June 2013 and has now shrunk slightly to 1482.7 m (the altitude of Heisei Shinzan measured by the National Land Research Institute in August 1996 was 1486 m, but after that. Due to the collapse, the current altitude of the mountaintop is 1483 m. It was designated as a nationally designated natural memorial on April 5, 2004). It is also the highest peak in Nagasaki Prefecture, and was born as part of Mt. Unzen, which consists of Mt. Since the appearance of the first lava dome on May 20, 1991, 13 lava domes have been born, and the dome has repeatedly collapsed several times as it grew, and the pyroclastic flow caused by the collapse killed precious lives. It has been. Three eruptions have been recorded at Unzen volcano. The oldest eruption was in 1663, the next in 1792, and the latest in 1990-1995. According to records, on the evening of May 21, 1792, Mt. Bizan, which rises to the west of Shimabara City, collapsed due to a large earthquake. The earth and sand flow into the Ariake Sea and cause a big tsunami: tidal wave. The damage extends not only to the Shimabara Peninsula but also to the Kumamoto side on the opposite bank, and has been the largest damage in the history of volcanic disasters in Japan since the dawn of history. Mt. Mayuyama, which rises to the west of Shimabara City, collapsed due to the large earthquakes that occurred frequently at the end of the eruption of Mt. Fugen in Unzen. It seems that the earth and sand became debris avalanche and not only filled the south side of the town of Shimabara at that time, but also plunged into the Ariake Sea at once and caused a big tsunami. This tsunami also rushed to Higo no Kuni (Kumamoto) on the opposite bank, causing enormous damage on both the Shimabara Peninsula and the Kumamoto side. The number of victims of this disaster has reached 15,000, making it the largest volcanic disaster in Japan since recorded history. From the observatory of Nita multi-unit apartments foremost Park in Shimabara City, you can observe the vivid collapsed wall of Mt. It can be observed below. It seems that the flowing mountain that flowed into the sea was named Tsukumojima. Shimabara Tadataka Ino surveyed 45 islands 20 years later (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Kyushu Regional Development Bureau Unzen Reconstruction Office 2007), but now the number has decreased to 17 due to erosion and submersion. As of 2022, the eruptive activity has subsided and the lava dome is part of Mt. Unzen, which has a magnificent landscape. Shimabara City, along with Obama Town(Unzen City), named this dome part Heisei shinzan on May 20, 1996, the fifth year since the first lava dome appeared, and named it Heisei Shinzan for a long-lasting disaster and new reconstruction. It is a memorial. At the Nagasaki Agrinet Forum held in February 2016, the “Kuchinotsu Youth Farmers Liaison Council” won the highest award, and the “Fukae Town 4H Club” and “Kazusacho 4H Club” won the highest award. At the forum, the Kuchinotsu Youth Agricultural Liaison Council has announced how to effectively utilize under-managed bamboo grove. Members have a common sense of crisis in the region and recommend that efforts in a wide area are necessary. The Kuchinotsu Town Youth Farmers Liaison Council participated in the Kyushu tournament in July, aiming for a ticket for the national tournament. On October 3, 2019, the 2018 Shimabara Peninsula District Youth Farmers Liaison Council Opinion Presentation Meeting is being held in Minamishimabara City. Mr. Uchida, who belongs to the Mizuho Town Youth Agricultural Liaison Council in Unzen City, announced under the theme of “Challenge to Domestic Paprika”, has won the highest award. It is held for the purpose of presenting opinions on the improvement of agricultural management, the development of regional agriculture, and the outlook for the future, which young farmers who will be responsible for the future of peninsula agriculture are thinking about. Organized by the council and the Shimabara Promotion Bureau, about 100 people including members, related local governments, and agricultural organizations participated, and it seems that 15 representatives made announcements for each group. Mr. Uchida is a farmer who grows strawberries 40 a, paprika 2 a, etc. It was the third year since he started making paprika as a back crop of strawberries. He has felt a response and is spreading the cultivation to his colleagues. He said, “I'll take the top (No. 1) with paprika,” and it seems that the content of the announcement felt a belief in the humor. The Shimabara Promotion Bureau said, “The contents were well prepared while the farming work was busy. All of them were wonderful and difficult to attach. I hope you will continue to practice hard.” In addition, it seems that five people were selected for the Excellence Award. Six people, including Mr. Uchida, are participating in the “59th Nagasaki Agrinet Forum” scheduled to be held in February 2020. Other winners are as follows. The awards for excellence are Mr. Yamamoto (Unzen City Azuma Town Youth Farmers Liaison Council) and Mr. Shibasaki (Unzen City Kunimi Town Youth Farmers Liaison Council) and below. Going back, on January 25, 2017, the Shimabara Peninsula District Youth Farmers Liaison Council Achievement Presentation Tournament was held at the Azuma Town Furusato Kaikan. Mr. Nakano of the Kunimi Town Youth Farmers Liaison Council has won the highest award for his presentations on daily improvement of agricultural management, development and demonstration of new technologies, and efforts for regional revitalization. He and the five members of the Excellence Award participated in the “57th Nagasaki Agrinet Forum” held in Nagasaki City from February 13th to 14th. Excellence Awards are Mr. Moriuchi (Minamikushiyamacho 4H Club), Mr. Ota (Kazusa Town 4H Club), Mr. Yamaguchi (Kuchinotsu / Minamiarima Agricultural Blue Association), Mr. Honda (Aino Town Agricultural Friendship Association) Women's Club Held an opinion exchange meeting with JA officers and employees at the head office on January 18. It seems that each branch manager of the women's club, the secretariat, JA officers and employees participated and actively exchanged opinions on future activities of the women's club. It seems that the full-time officers and the departments in charge responded to various opinions and requests from the women's department, such as “enhancement of A-COOP products and point cards” and “examination of events and activity timings”. The director at that time seemed to say, “I would like to enhance the activities of the women's club through this exchange of opinions.” Gamadasu Dome (Unzendake Disaster Memorial Hall) Location, Heisei Town, Shimabara City: Japan's first experiential volcano museum “Gamadasu Dome (Unzendake Disaster Memorial Hall)” where you can experience all of the volcanoes, “Gamadasu” means do your best in the Shimabara dialect. Until the declaration of the end of the eruption in 1996, it seems that it was created to accurately pass on what happened and what remained here to posterity without fading the lessons of natural wonders and disasters. There is also a “Wonder Laboratory” where you can learn about volcanoes, science, and disaster prevention and experience a wide range of experiments, and a “Children's Geopark” where you can experience the charm of Unzen Volcano using your entire body. It was renewed in April 2018. At the indoor playset space “Children's Geopark” that can be used even on rainy days, you can play while feeling the power of the earth and the charm of Unzen volcano, such as trampoline and bouldering. There is also a space for babies and toddlers. There are plenty of attractions such as “Wonder Lab” where you can learn about science and volcanoes through experiments, and “Permanent Exhibition Zone” where you can experience and learn about the eruption of Mt. Unzen Fugen that started in 1990 using the latest technologies such as diorama mapping and drones. It seems that workshops are also held on weekends. Free of charge for the purpose of “improving the convenience of domestic and foreign tourists visiting the Shimabara Peninsula” as one of the increasingly exciting Shimabara Peninsula tourism initiatives that have been registered as a world heritage of “Hidden Christian Sites in Nagasaki and Amakusa Region”. It seems that the available public wireless LAN access service “Shimabara Peninsula Free Wi-Fi” can be used from June 1, 2019. “Shiranuhi Orange: Sumo Mandarin” : You have to give a lot of nutrition, and you need to irrigate and fertilize well when the flowers bloom and become young. Born in 1972 in Minamishimabara (Kuchinotsu Town), Nagasaki. It is famous as a fruit born by crossing “Kiyomi Orange(Citrus unshiu × sinensis)” and “Ponkan(Nakano No. 3: Citrus reticulata var poonensis (Hayata) H.H. Hu; It is cultivated in Nepal, South East Asia countries, southern China, Taiwan, and Japan. It is said to be native to the ‘Suntara’ region of India. It was first introduced in Japan in 1896 when Taiwan Governor General Mr. Sukenori Kabayama sent seedlings to Kagoshima for transplantation.)”. After ripening well on the tree, store for half a month to a month. It seems that the sourness will be removed and the sweetness will increase. Cultivation of Citrus Unshiu, which uses less water to increase sugar content, requires a slightly different cultivation method. Since around 1975, the native Shiranui Town and the surrounding area have been searching for citrus fruits to replace Amanatsu(Citrus natsudaidai); sweet form of Chinese citron. Iheard that the shipping period of medium late-ripening citrus (e.g. pomelo) is from February to the end of May. After that, it seems that it could not be shipped because it was difficult to keep it fresh. Under these circumstances, the Ehime Prefectural Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Institute Fruit Tree Research Center Mikan Research Institute and the Kumamoto Prefectural Agricultural Research Center Fruit Tree Research Institute have jointly developed a technology that can be shipped until summer with manufacturers of materials and chemicals. Use of MA packaging, a packaging technology that keeps freshness for a long time with special packaging and antibacterial preparations, minimizes respiration of fruits and vegetables, and prolongs freshness. Since fruits and vegetables are still alive and breathing after harvesting, they consume nutrients and may lose their freshness. Therefore, it seems that the film material with fine pores on the surface will be wrapped in this film material to make the air inside low oxygen and high carbon dioxide. By suppressing breathing, it slows down the aging of the skin and flesh and keeps the freshness. So to speak, it seems that mandarin oranges are in a half-hibernating state. Another technique is the application of an extract preparation of the perennial plant “Capillary wormwood; Artemisia capillaris” of the Asteraceae family. I heard that Capillary wormwood extract is safe and has been approved for use in foods, and contains ingredients with antibacterial activity. By applying this extract to the peel of medium late-ripening citrus (e.g. pomelo), it seems that the effect of suppressing rot and peel damage can be obtained. By combining these materials that help maintain freshness with the storage temperature control for each variety, it seems that summer shipments can be realized. According to the voices of the people concerned, it took nearly 10 years to jointly research with the company on the temperature to be controlled for each variety and the difference in the amount of the drug to be applied to the pericarp, and to put it into practical use. The development effort would have been immeasurable. This shipping technology began to be introduced in the market in 2012, and it seems that full-scale commercialization is progressing.


A popular citrus fruit that has a rich sweetness but has an excellent balance of sweetness and refreshing acidity, and is full of flesh. It looks rugged and hard, and it looks like it's hard to peel off, but it's easy and easy to peel off. In addition, there are few seeds and the white thin skin is soft, so you can eat it as it is, and anyway, it has a rich impression because of its chewy taste.

It has been 31 years since Unzen and Fugendake in Nagasaki Prefecture erupted for the first time in 198. It is fresh in my memory that 44 people were missing or dead in the eruption disaster. Heiseishinzan is a dome-shaped mountain formed by the eruption of about 100 million cubic meters of lava. It is said that there is a place where a rock called volcanic spine pops out like a tower and milky white water vapor spouts like MAGMA on the mountaintop.

During World War I, Britain worked with the Jewish community to raise funds for the war and implemented the Balfour Declaration. However, at the same time, in order to take advantage of Arab nationalism aiming for independence from the Ottoman Empire, the Hussein McMahon Agreement (October 24, 1915, Higher Commission for the United Kingdom in Egypt) was given to Hussein, the guardian of Mecca, instead of cooperating with the United Kingdom. Official McMahon promises to build an independent state after the end of the war in the Ottoman territory of Arabs, excluding western Syria, in five round-trip letters with Mecca's Charlief Hussein. Executed). Furthermore, it secretly concludes a Sykes-Pico Agreement with its ally, France, to divide it after the end of the war. With the end of the war and the victory of the British-French allies, Palestine and Jordan became Britain, and Lebanon and Syria became French mandates. Britain's conflicting promises to both Arabs and Jews fostered two important nationalist clashes. Although the Kingdom of Egypt gained independence in 1922, the former colonial power of Britain continued its indirect control by deploying its own soldiers for the next 25 years. Britain had substantial control, and it seems that they did not have the ability to compete with the Egyptian army at that time. During World War II, a small number of Egyptian soldiers fought on the British side, but they had little connection with the people and seemed to have very limited influence on the government. In 1947, the United Nations adopted a Palestinian division resolution to create two nations, Arab and Jewish, on Palestinian land. However, the content is to give about 43% of the land to the large number of Arabs who have lived in Palestine for a long time and about 57% to the small number of Jewish people who have newly immigrated. Happened. Britain, which ruled Palestine, unilaterally withdrew due to the intensifying conflict between Arab nationalism and Zionism, and in 1948, the Jewish side founded Israel in the midst of armed conflict and tension between Arab and Jewish. Declared. Then, the First Middle East War (1948 to 1949) broke out. In the war, 700,000 Palestinians (Arabs living in Palestine) were displaced and fled to the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and neighboring countries such as Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. It seems that the towns and villages where the inhabitants have disappeared have been completely destroyed or Jewish inhabitants have come to live there. On the other hand, Palestinians who became refugees were forced to live in extreme distress in the poor tents and caves of refugee camps. The UN General Assembly passed Resolution 194 in December 1948, stating that refugees wishing to return to their hometowns would be allowed to return as soon as possible, and refugees who did not wish to return would be compensated for their losses. However, the Israeli side seems to have consistently denied this, saying it would lead to social and political instability. In 1950, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) was established and began to provide basic services such as construction of simple housing, education and medical care to Palestinians. The Egyptian monarch, King Farouk, who lost the battle with Israel and decided to participate in the war, lost his authority, and the Egyptian army accused the king of the responsibility for the defeat. In 1952, the Free Officers Movement led by Gamal Abdel Nasser forced a coup d'etat. The overthrow of the royal system by the military (later the Egyptian revolution) formed the basis of modern Egyptian republicanism. After the coup d'etat, under the command of Gamal Abdel Nasser, who gained popular support for his strong charisma, he proceeded with modernization with the aim of becoming a powerful army. During the North Yemen Civil War (1962-1970), the military dispatched expeditionary forces to Yemen to support the Yemen Arab Republic government forces. Pay a lot of costs. Later, the Six-Day War broke out between the Arab countries and Israel. Gamal Abdel Nasser, who commanded the Allied Forces, suffered a catastrophic defeat by the Israeli army and was robbed of the Sinai Peninsula, which was under Egyptian control. It seems that the credibility of the military has fallen to the ground due to a series of failures. 1970 Gamal Abdel Nasser (2nd President of the Republic of Egypt. With pan-Arabism and pan-Africanism, he founded the United Arab Republic consisting of Egypt and Syria and became its first president, and became the second president of the African Unification Organization. (Chairman also served) After his death, coup d'etat Anwar al-Sadart will take over. He first took office as Vice President, purged Nasser factions, changed political and economic policies, and worked on the reorganization of the Egyptian army, which had been exhausted by the Six-Day War. In October 1973, he led the army in the Yom Kippur War, aiming to recapture the Sinai Peninsula. Three weeks later, it ended with Israel's dominance, but the Egyptian army had great results at the beginning of the war. In 1978, the Sinai Peninsula was returned to Egypt following the Camp David Accords between Sardat, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and US President Jimmy Carter. With this achievement, the undefeated myth of Israel has collapsed, and the Egyptian army seems to have regained trust as an army with the power to protect national interests. After the assassination of Sardat in 1981, former Air Force General Mubarak became president. From around this time, the military promoted modernization with the support of the United States and expanded its military power. As Mubarak pushed for economic liberalization in the 1990s, he began to seek dividends that exceeded US military support from a shortcut to capitalism. In Egypt, military-owned public-private joint ventures seem to account for 15-20% of GDP. In addition, military personnel are guaranteed hospitality based on their powerful capital strength. As the military's economic power permeated society as a whole, it seems that its influence on civil society also increased. A long time later, on the night of May 20, 2021 last year, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office held a security cabinet meeting on the same day, based on the recommendations of the Israeli Army Chief of Staff, Secretary of State Simbeto, Secretary of Mossad, and Chairman of the National Security Council. Announced unanimous approval of the Israeli Gaza militants to accept the Egyptian mediation proposal to unconditionally stop the war. It was announced that the ceasefire would start at 2:00 am local time on the 21st. Regarding Japan's support for Egypt, which is the focus of attention, the dream of establishing a university in Egypt that could serve as a core research and education center in the Middle East and the Arab world is called the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology Initiative, and in January 2009, the two countries I have a general agreement. Until now, universities in Egypt could be enrolled free of charge if they had a certain level of academic ability, as it was meant to prevent unemployment among young people, but the level of education is declining year by year, with 84 students per teacher. It seems that he was doing it. In addition, it seems that the Faculty of Engineering was in a situation where it was not possible to carry out experiments and practical skills from beginning to end with classroom lectures. For this reason, the Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology seems to focus on practical skills and research by a small number of elites, collect tuition fees, and accept foreign teachers and international students. With JICA playing a central role, we were aiming to open the school in the fall of 2009 while soliciting support from Japanese universities, creating a curriculum, building an operating system, dispatching core faculty members, and preparing equipment. Study abroad from neighboring Arab countries is also expected, and Japan plans to continue to provide support based on its own experience and technological capabilities to Egypt, which wants to further strengthen science and technology in the future. Established in 2010, it is located in New Borg El Arab City, Alexandria Governorate, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt. High-quality research at the National al-gāmaaʿa al-almāsreya al-alyābaneya lel ʿoloom wal toknologya (E-JUST (Hod Sakrah WA Abu Hamad, Borg Al Arab Al Gadida City, Alexandria Governorate: Egypt - Japan University of Science and Technology) / Through the practice of education, the formation of a multi-layered network with related organizations in Japan and overseas, and appropriate university management, the school aims to be established as a top-level research university in Egypt. Through these activities, Industrial and science and technology human resources produced by E-JUST will contribute to the overall development of the higher education sector and industry in the Middle East and Africa in the future.

【Major features】

Judging from the ruins found in various parts of Kumamoto prefecture, it is estimated that people have lived in this area for about 15,000 years. After that, the remains of the Jomon period from about 7,000 BC to about the 2nd century BC seem to have been found in about 800 places in the prefecture such as the river basin of the Ariake Sea and the Shiranui Sea and Amakusa Island. In the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC, Yayoi's farming culture took place, and along with the ruins, Japan's oldest iron ax was excavated in Tensui Town, Tamana District, indicating that metal objects were introduced. In the Kofun period, old-fashioned burial mounds were distributed in Jinan-cho and Uto Peninsula, and old-style burial mounds centered on ancient Imperial graves developed in Asoya, Kikusui Town, Kao Town, etc. It seems that one of Japan's leading decorated tomb cultures flourished in the Kikuchi River basin. Around this time, small countries such as Hi no Province, Aso Province, and Amakusa Province were formed in the prefecture, and it seems that they were eventually unified into Hi no Province and Higo Province. The Taika Reform enforcement will also put Kokufu in Higo, so that the provencial governor (under the ritsuryo system, any of a group of officials, esp. The director) will eventually govern politics under the jurisdiction of Dazaifu. It seems that it has become. In ancient times, Higo Province had a powerful tribe called “火の君(It is said that the home of the clan is the Hikawa area in Ryuhoku Town, Yatsushiro District, and the Nozu tumulus group Ono Iwaya tumulus remains.)”, so it seems that it was called “Fire Country” or Higo Country. During the Warring States period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi-Ko, who settled Kyushu, ordered Narimasa Sassa-Ko to be the landlord, but Higo Kunishurevolt caused Narimasa-Ko to fall. After that, Kiyomasa Kato-Ko dominated the northern half, Yukinaga Konishi-Ko dominated the southern half, and Sagara dominated Kuma District. However, because Yukinaga Konishi-Ko was defeated in the Battle of Sekigahara, Kiyomasa Kato-Ko was given Higo one country and became the lord of 520 thousand koku, and seems to have built Kumamoto Castle. The Satsuma Rebellion began in 1877. In those days Mr. Soseki Natsume and Mr. Yakumo Koizumi taught at Fifth High School(Current Kumamoto University Kurokami North Campus), and it seems that many human resources have left the nest. When the Kyushu Shinkansen Kagoshima route was opened in 2011, four stations, Shin-Tamana, Kumamoto, Shin - Yatsushiro, and Shin - Minamata, were set up in the prefecture. Ordinance-designated city; Moved to city designated by cabinet order. The predominant theory is that the origin of melons is the African continent, and some are particularly limited to the Niger River basin (near the present Republic of Guinea). Others include the Middle East, India, and China. It is said that today's European melons are the ones that have spread and improved in Southern Europe and Egypt, and the oriental melons that have been introduced to China are the oriental melons. Cultivation of melon companions has been around for a long time and has been known since ancient Egypt, Syria, ancient Greece and Roman times. Even in China, there is already a record in “Jiga(It is one of the Thirteen Classics and is a dictionary that is said to have been established in the Han dynasty. It is famous as the oldest Chinese dictionary consisting of 3 volumes and 19 volumes. From the Western Han to the Eastern Han, it is famous as a linguistically valuable dictionary. It is the oldest dialect dictionary, and is officially called “Yukenshisha Zetsudaigoshakubekkokuhogen”. It collects the words of people who came and went to the city of Chang'an from various places, and explains them together with common languages. In the commentary, it seems that there are “Dialect Note” by Mr. Guo Pu of Jin and “Dialect Certificate” by Mr. Dai Zhen of Qing. Senbun is the oldest radical dictionary, officially called “Shuowen Jiezi (the first comprehensive dictionary of Chinese characters)”. 1 volume, 14 texts. It consists of radical 540, heading characters 9353 characters, and compound sentences 1163 characters, and each heading character is used as a base character to give a seal script (small seal) to interpret its meaning. In the annotations, there are 30 volumes of “Shuowen Jiezi Note” by Mr. Duan Yucai, “Shuowen Jiezi” by Mr. Fu Gui, and “Shuowen Jiezi” by Mr. Junsheng Zhu. “Shiming” is a dictionary consisting of eight words, and the classification method of “Erya; 爾雅” is diverted. 釈天, 釈地, 釈山, 釈水, 釈丘, 釈道, 釈州國, 釈形體, 釈, 姿容, 釈長幼, 釈親屬, 釈言語, 釈飲食, 釈綵帛, 釈首飾, 釈衣服, 釈宮室, 釈床帳, 釈書契, 釈典藝, 釈用器, 釈樂器, 釈兵, 釈車, 釈船, 釈疾病, 釈喪制 - It is classified into 27 volumes and contains 1502 articles.

It is said that it started in the 11th to 13th centuries in Italy, in the 15th century in France and Spain, and in the 16th century in England and the United States. In Japan, the history of melon cultivation is old, and many carbonized seeds have been excavated from the remains of the Yayoi period. Since it was often made in Makuwa Village, Gifu Prefecture, and present-day Motosu City, it is called “Cucumis melo var. Makuwa” because of its place name. European melons came to Japan in the middle and late Meiji era. In addition, the greenhouse melons as they are today began to be cultivated in 1925 when seeds were brought from England (Earl's favorite variety). It was created by a person named H.W. Ward, who was the farmer of the Earl of Radnor in England, and it is said that the name “Earl's Favorite” comes from the Count's (Earl's) favorite. One of the features is a beautiful mesh (net). The evenly stretched mesh is also a sign of healthy growth. Another feature is that it has a mellow scent similar to musk, as it is also called “MUSK melon”. Third Rank Honors First Class Doctor of Agriculture Viscount; Mr. Hayato FUKUBA-It is also a pioneer of greenhouse cultivation. In 1893, when a full-scale humidified greenhouse was built in the garden, it was used to cultivate melons, orchids, and tropical fruit trees. He has imported many rare orchid species and is also trying to improve their varieties. He was the first to grow grapes in the greenhouse. Shinjuku Gyoen is widely known as a park, but before the war it was the Shinjuku Botanical Garden in Miyauchi Province, and in the early Meiji era it was the Naito Shinjuku Proving Ground of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. In 1877, he became an apprentice at the Naito Shinjuku Proving Ground, where he learned Western-style horticulture, which was introduced to the public. He worked for the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce from 1878 and studied abroad in France and Germany from 1896 to 1899. He was appointed as an engineer by the Imperial Household Ministry in 1900, and has spent most of his life in the garden since then. At Shinjuku Gyoen, his first passion was forcing cultivation of strawberries, eggplants, and cucumbers. His godfather is said to be himself. Full-scale cultivation of melons in Kumamoto Prefecture began with this prince melon, and it seems that it is said to have started in the latter half of the 1955s. In the prefecture, various varieties are relayed throughout the prefecture, including Kumamoto City, Uki area, and Kuma area, and it seems that spring melons and autumn melons are being cultivated and shipped all year round. Nowadays, many varieties are on the market and it is a fruit that can be easily purchased. “Quincy Melon” : Yokohama Ueki Co., Ltd. (Founded in 1890 or 1891, it's a well-established seedling plant with a history of 130 years.

Mates and nurtures “Shinhogyoku × Fukamidori” to “Bolero × Earl's Summer No. 7” × “Superatib”. Born after various matings and trial and error. It's recommended to leave it for 4 to 7 days after harvest to further increase sweetness and ripen it. The flesh is thick and dense, and the flesh color is salmon pink, which is a beautiful color. With a smooth mouthfeel and deep sweetness, it has a juicy and sweet aroma. Please pick it up and enjoy it with delicate five senses. On Sunday, September 5, 2021, Governor Ikuo KABASHIMA attended the completion ceremony of JA Kumamoto City Citrus Fruit Sorting Facility. Kumamoto City is one of the top-class producing areas of Satsuma mandarin in Japan, and this facility is responsible for sorting and shipping the fruits produced in the jurisdiction. With this renovation work, it was reborn as a state-of-the-art fruit sorting facility using AI and robots, and it seems that Shinto rituals and ribbon-cutting ceremony were held to celebrate the completion. At the ceremony, the governor congratulated, “It is a model fruit sorting place that symbolizes creative reconstruction and can be proud of throughout the country. It will surely contribute to the strengthening of production areas and lead to the development of the prefecture's agriculture as a whole.” Says. Kumamoto City is the prefectural capital of Kumamoto Prefecture, which was transformed into an ordinance-designated city in April 2012. Located in the Kumamoto Plain, which is formed in the lower reaches of the Tsuboi River, Shirakawa River, and Midori River, which flow through the central part of the prefecture. The area is blessed with sunshine, with an average annual temperature of 16.5 degrees Celsius, annual rainfall of 1992 mm, and annual sunshine hours of 1964 hours. In particular, Kumamoto City has a high winter temperature, and it seems that eggplants are cultivated from autumn to spring, taking advantage of the warm winter climate. In addition, the summer evening in Kumamoto City is said to be “evening calm in Higo”, and it seems to be hot and humid with no wind. The Kumamoto City Agricultural Cooperative, which has jurisdiction over Kumamoto City, was established in April 1987 as the Yuho Agricultural Cooperative by merging 7 agricultural cooperatives in 1 city and 3 towns (at that time). After that, it merged with the Northern Agricultural Cooperative in October 1990 and changed to the current name in April 1992. The jurisdiction produces a wide variety of agricultural and livestock products, especially the squid and melon produced in areas such as Tenmei, Kitano, and Tomoai, and the mikan centered on the northwestern foot of Mt. Kinpu. are one of the leading production areas in Japan and are gaining popularity. The Kumamoto earthquake struck in April 2016, and the video JA jurisdiction suffered a lot of damage, but the union members have been working together seriously on reconstruction. The sales amount (FY2014) is rice, wheat, millet 954.73 million yen, vegetables 10,275.74 million yen, fruit trees 4,267.18 million yen, livestock 683.84 million yen, etc. The sales amount of eggplant in 2016 was 4.42 billion yen, which seems to account for about 40% of the total sales amount of vegetables. I heard that the cultivation of eggplant (Kumamoto long eggplant) in Kumamoto City began around the end of the Taisho era. In the past, it was shipped mainly in the summer with open-field cultivation, but now it seems that winter and spring eggplants are shipped from October to June due to the spread of facility cultivation. JA Kumamotoshi's eggplant (brand name: Deko-Nasu) is a long eggplant with a voluminous feel, good luster, and sweetness. I heard that the cultivar uses “Chikuyo”. Therefore, we introduced “PC Chikuyo”, which can be expected to save labor based on parthenocarpy. The penetration rate increased significantly to 45% in 2016 and 85% in 2018, and 60-70% was introduced even in the All season. According to the producer, the introduction of “PC Chikuyo”, which does not require hormone treatment, has eliminated the time constraint of work and has been highly evaluated as labor saving. However, for cultivation, winter temperature and grass vigor management are important, and the grass is weaker than “Chikuyo”. The number of members of JA Kumamotoshi Eggplant Subcommittee in 2016 is 164 houses. There are 72 producers under the age of 40, and the average age is 36, which seems to be a group with many young people. The production area is 76.5 hectares and the production volume is 11,426 tons. It seems that the management area per house was 46.6 ares, and the average yield per 10 ares was about 15 tons. Kumamoto City is in danger of being hit by a typhoon until early October. Therefore, it seems that conventional greenhouses were planted in the open field in September, and the greenhouse vinyl was covered after mid-October when there was no concern about typhoon damage. In recent years, it seems that it has become possible to harvest from September by promoting the introduction of a weather-resistant house that can withstand a wind speed of 50 meters and planting it in August after covering it with vinyl. The introduction rate of weatherproof houses for club members was about 45% at that time, and it seems that they are still being introduced. The weatherproof house seems to be expensive at over 15 million yen per 10 ares. Since it is necessary to realize a management model that can withstand the investment, the subcommittee seems to be working hard to improve production technology. Reducing fuel costs is a major issue for winter-spring management, which requires relatively high temperature control even in winter. Therefore, it seems that the subcommittee is trying to introduce various energy-saving technologies and working to improve management. Bubble wrap sheet (bubble wrap sheet: American Air Products (then) company started manufacturing for pool sheets. In 1957, two engineers (Alfred Fielding, Mark Coveres) accidentally invented it. Air Products & Chemicals is an industrial gas company. The industrial gas business is used in manufacturing markets such as refining, petrochemicals, metals, electronics, food and beverages for atmospheric process gas and related products. Provides equipment. Operates through seven segments: Industrial Gas America, Industrial Gas Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), Industrial Gas Asia, Industrial Gas Global, Material Technology, Energy to Waste , And corporate and others. Also, it seems to be a supplier of liquefied natural gas process technology and equipment. The material technology business provides semiconductors, polyurethane, cleaning and coating, and the industry is an adhesive. In the industrial gas and material technology business, there are two lines. The product is manufactured and distributed.) Seems to be used for the lining of the house as a heat insulation measure. About 60% of the members have introduced it, and the heavy oil reduction rate is about 10%. 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 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, 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, r that, the Lehman shock occurred and the situation was plummeting. 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. 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. 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 reduction rate seems to be about 30%. Also, the film of the curtain material has been increased in thickness from 0.5 mm to 0.75 mm, which seems to enhance the heat retention effect. The circulation fan contributes to the elimination of temperature unevenness in the greenhouse. It seems that these energy-saving measures are compiled as technical materials, explained at the local study group and individually distributed to the members of the department to share information. Eggplant is a plant that prefers high temperature and humidity, but if the temperature rises too high, fertilizer injury will occur and the quality will deteriorate. Also, from April to May, the occurrence of unripe fruit due to overdrying seems to be a problem. Therefore, a fine mist cooling device that lowers the temperature by spraying water from the ceiling into the house has been introduced, centering on the newly constructed weather-resistant greenhouse. By utilizing the fine mist cooling device, it seems that it has become possible to lower the temperature inside the greenhouse during high-temperature drying and to secure appropriate humidity. Also, in winter, the greenhouse is almost starved of carbon dioxide because the greenhouse is rarely ventilated to keep it warm. Therefore, in recent years, there has been a movement to increase sales in winter by introducing a carbon dioxide addition device, and it seems that about half of the members have introduced it since that time. It seems that the effect of adding carbon dioxide was different depending on the producer. I hear that it is necessary to continue to study effective addition methods and eggplant management techniques. At the same time, the number of producers who utilize devices (professors, etc.) that measure the environment such as temperature and humidity and carbon dioxide concentration in the house has increased, and about 30% of the members have introduced it. Establishment of IPM (comprehensive pest management aiming at halving the number of pesticide sprays by controlling the use of natural enemies by using selective pesticides): As a soil preparation measure, every summer after harvest, flooding and solar heat soil disinfection are carried out in the greenhouse. By doing so, pests such as nematodes are controlled and continuous cropping disorders are prevented. As a measure against soil diseases such as Ralstonia solanacearum and plague, it seems that reduced soil disinfection using rice bran and wheat bran and soil disinfection with chemicals are performed. In addition, it seems that soil preparation is being thoroughly conducted by conducting a soil cross-section survey of fields with high yields and analysis of residual fertilizer in the soil. In the facility eggplant cultivation, there are concerns about whiteflies, thrips, leaf spots, Corynespora melongenae., And Ralstonia solanacearum, but it seems that measures are being taken by soil preparation and chemical rotation control. I heard that the biggest problem is the control of thrips. Thrips seem to cause deterioration in quality and yield due to feeding damage. The subcommittee will establish an IPM by combining not only the control of pests that rely only on conventional chemical pesticides, but also the utilization of natural enemy organisms such as thrips and the improvement of greenhouse equipment such as the expansion of insect repellent nets at the openings of the greenhouse. Seems to be aiming for. At the same time, new materials and new technology exhibition fields are set up every year, and study meetings and seminars are held at the same time mainly by the officers of each subcommittee to share information and improve the level of technology within the subcommittee, which is rare. Seems to be making an effort to see. Every month, each standard is scored and settled so that producers can produce standards that meet market needs. In particular, we have introduced a point system that takes into consideration the shipment of mainly L and M sizes. In addition, when the shipping market was consolidated into 25 markets, it became possible to form prices in each market in an advantageous manner, which seems to have led to an increase in name recognition. In urban consumption areas, slightly larger eggplants are preferred in winter, and slightly smaller eggplants are preferred in autumn and spring, so it seems that they are trying to ship according to the standards. In 2006, a new fruit sorting plant was constructed to consolidate collection and fruit sorting in one place. In order to speed up the receipt of goods, the time to bring them to the fruit sorting area is set for each region. This seems to have led to a reduction in shipping time for producers who have become farther away. Also, I heard that in order to ship fresh eggplants, we make sure to ship the harvested eggplants in the morning. Since the shipment is mainly in the Kanto, Chukyo, and Kansai areas, it seems that they are conducting sales promotion activities in large consumption areas. The women's department is currently working on expanding consumption by creating two types of recipes. Also, in order to increase consumption in the prefecture, it seems that sales promotion activities are carried out in the center of Kumamoto city every year on “Good eggplant day” (April 17th). In addition, we will hold shipping and sales meetings in the six major production areas of Nasu (Kumamoto, Fukuoka, Saga, Okayama, Kochi, Tokushima), and cooperate for planned sales by grasping the production and shipping status of each prefecture. Seems to be planning. From January 26, 2022, the selection of unheated and roofed Citrus reticulata 'Shiranui' began at JA Kumamoto City Yume Mirai Citrus Fruit Sorting Center. As of the 28th, about 10 tons per day will be shipped nationwide. It seems that the total shipment volume is expected to be 60 tons. From mid-February to the open field, from late April to long-term storage, it seems that relay shipments will continue until mid-June. In the JA Citrus Subcommittee, 10 of the 200 houses of Dekopon producers seem to be cultivating unheated and roofed Dekopon. JA ships products that meet the sugar content and citric acid standards as “Dekopon(It was probably named after the place name. Decopon (Citrus reticulata Siranui) is a registered trademark owned by the Kumamoto Prefecture Fruit Agricultural Cooperative Association. Under the umbrella of the japan horticultural agricultural cooperative association : Shipped through an agricultural cooperative association with JA and citrus production. Only those who meet certain standards to maintain high quality can use the name. It was shipped through the National Federation of Citrus Agricultural Cooperatives with a sugar content of 13 degrees or more and an acidity of 1 degree or less. “Shiranuhi Orange(Dekopon): Sumo Mandarin” : You have to give a lot of nutrition, and you need to irrigate and fertilize well when the flowers bloom and become young. Born in 1972 in Kuchinotsu Town, Minamishimabara City, Nagasaki. It is famous as a fruit born by crossing “Kiyomi Orange(Citrus unshiu × sinensis)” and “Ponkan(Nakano No. 3: Citrus reticulata var poonensis (Hayata) H.H. Hu; It is cultivated in Nepal, South East Asia countries, southern China, Taiwan, and Japan. It is said to be native to the ‘Suntara’ region of India. It was first introduced in Japan in 1896 when Taiwan Governor General Mr. Sukenori Kabayama sent seedlings to Kagoshima for transplantation.)”. After ripening well on the tree, store for half a month to a month. It seems that the sourness will be removed and the sweetness will increase. Cultivation of Citrus Unshiu, which uses less water to increase sugar content, requires a slightly different cultivation method. Since around 1975, the native Shiranui Town and the surrounding area have been searching for citrus fruits to replace Amanatsu(Citrus natsudaidai); sweet form of Chinese citron. Iheard that the shipping period of medium late-ripening citrus (e.g. pomelo) is from February to the end of May. After that, it seems that it could not be shipped because it was difficult to keep it fresh. Under these circumstances, the Ehime Prefectural Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Institute Fruit Tree Research Center Mikan Research Institute and the Kumamoto Prefectural Agricultural Research Center Fruit Tree Research Institute have jointly developed a technology that can be shipped until summer with manufacturers of materials and chemicals. Use of MA packaging, a packaging technology that keeps freshness for a long time with special packaging and antibacterial preparations, minimizes respiration of fruits and vegetables, and prolongs freshness. Since fruits and vegetables are still alive and breathing after harvesting, they consume nutrients and may lose their freshness. Therefore, it seems that the film material with fine pores on the surface will be wrapped in this film material to make the air inside low oxygen and high carbon dioxide. By suppressing breathing, it slows down the aging of the skin and flesh and keeps the freshness. So to speak, it seems that mandarin oranges are in a half-hibernating state. Another technique is the application of an extract preparation of the perennial plant “Capillary wormwood: Artemisia capillaris” of the Asteraceae family. I heard that Capillary wormwood extract is safe and has been approved for use in foods, and contains ingredients with antibacterial activity. By applying this extract to the peel of medium late-ripening citrus (e.g. pomelo), it seems that the effect of suppressing rot and peel damage can be obtained. By combining these materials that help maintain freshness with the storage temperature control for each variety, it seems that summer shipments can be realized. According to the voices of the people concerned, it took nearly 10 years to jointly research with the company on the temperature to be controlled for each variety and the difference in the amount of the drug to be applied to the pericarp, and to put it into practical use. The development effort would have been immeasurable. This shipping technology began to be introduced in the market in 2012, and it seems that full-scale commercialization is progressing.)”. At the fruit sorting plant, dekopons placed on free trays are applied to optical sensors one by one, and it seems that workers manually pack the dekopons that meet the quality standards. The 2021 production has a large amount of fruit set, and the production amount was 108% of last year. It had a high sugar content and was finished in a size of 2L and 3L, which is about the same as normal. “Yume Mirai Mikan” is a branded Mikan of the same JA that sells delicious agricultural products with quality, freshness, safety and security. “Sweet Spring” : Certification number Tanzero Norin No. 1, Variety name Sweet Spring, Former strain name Okitsu No. 20 Orange, Certification date June 1981, Mating parent (mother x father), Ueda Wenzhou x Citrus x hassaku, Growing institution (at the time of certification) Fruit tree test site Growing institution (current) (Germany) Fruit Tree Research Institute, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, growing period 1947-1981 (about 35 years), main characteristics, good yield, fertility, resistant to citrus Variety. The tree has strong cold resistance and matures from January to February, making it suitable for shipment to raw food in early spring. The fruits are well-aligned, tight and juicy, with a sugar content of 12 to 13%, an acid of around 0.8%, and a good flavor. Growth characteristics / The tree vigor is stronger than that of “Satsuma mandarin”, and the appearance of the tree is a little standing in the young tree, but it opens when the result starts. Weak thorns may occur on young trees and on branches that are slightly legginess, but they do not occur when the tree vigor settles down. The leaves are medium in size and more rounded than “Satsuma mandarin”. Tsubasa is smaller than “Hassaku”. The cold resistance of the tree is quite strong, about “Unshu Mikan”. Elsinoë fawcettii (Winter lesions on leaves and branches. Winter lesions are 10-28 ° C (suitable temperature is 20-24 ° C), and spores begin to form when wet due to rainfall for about 3 hours. It seems that the resulting spores are carried by the rain and adhere to young leaves and fruits. The temperature at which they can invade the leaves is 13 to 30 ° C (the optimum temperature is around 26 ° C). It seems to be latent and develop the disease for about a day. The latent period of the fruit is slightly longer than that of the leaves. Spores are formed on the newly formed lesions and infect young leaves and fruits one after another (secondary infection). It seems that the disease does not occur when it gets old. In the normal year, the disease of the leaves is not seen by the beginning of June, but the leaves are soft due to cloudy weather, heavy rain and low temperature from April to May. If there is, it seems that the period of infection of the leaves will be longer. Also, if the temperature and humidity conditions are adjusted, it seems that the disease will also occur in the summer and autumn branches. It is most sensitive to the young fruit stage. The diseased summer and autumn branches tend to be important sources for the following year over the winter.) It is stronger than “Unshuu mikan”, but Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri (leaves, branches). The winter lesions of Elsinoë are the primary source of transmission, but the lesions on the treetops in summer and autumn seem to be particularly important. The amount is even higher than the lesions on the summer-autumn treetops, and it is more important as a source of transmission. It seems that it is transmitted from the scars. The main infection period to spring leaves is from early May to mid-June. After the infection to spring leaves, it is repeatedly transmitted to spring branches and summer and autumn treetops. By the end of the month, it seems to be infected mainly by secondary transmission from leaves. Wind and rain accompanied by strong winds with a wind speed of 6 to 8 m or more, especially summer typhoons, seems to be the most important disease promoting factor. There seems to be a difference. For windbreak measures, windbreak fences, windbreak nets, etc. are installed. Diseased branches are pruned and removed as much as possible. In particular, the diseased branches of summer and autumn treetops are removed. Spraying. If wind and rain accompanied by strong winds or typhoons are expected to occur, spray chemicals in advance. For chemical control in sensitive varieties cultivation gardens or existing gardens, in addition to pre-emergence control, late May (Immediately after the petals fall) Once in June, once in late June (rainy season), once or twice in mid-August to late September (autumn season). In addition, in multiple gardens, the number of control will be increased as appropriate, such as pre-flowering control (early May). Control citrus leaf miner. Avoid frequent occurrence of summer and autumn treetops due to heavy pruning.) Is somewhat weak. The shape of the flower is similar to “Hassaku”, but the size is smaller. The fertility of pollen is low, but the fruit set is good and fertile. However, it seems that there is a slight tendency for biennial bearings. There is almost no fall in winter. Quality characteristics / The fruit weighs about 250 g, is oblate and has a good ball alignment, and the fruit surface is coarser than “Hassaku”. The pericarp is yellow-orange and close to “Hassaku”, but the green color may be poor. The thickness is about 4 mm, the quality is strong and hard, and while it is tight, it is a little difficult to peel. The sac is a little hard but has no bitterness. The flesh is “orange” and darker than “Hassaku” but lighter than “Satsuma mandarin”. The meat is a little hard but juicy, the sugar content of the fruit juice is 12 to 13%, and the sugar content is around 0.8%, and the flavor is good. Due to its low pollen fertility, there are few seeds. It varies slightly depending on the presence or absence of pollinated trees in the surrounding area, but the average number is about 6. The seeds are rather small and monoembryonic. The ripening period is from January to February, and it is suitable for shipping to raw food in early spring. However, if left unharvested until after March, it may cause a slight rise. Suitable for cultivation Soil in warm winter, sunny and well-drained Meaning of cultivar name Expected to be harvested and shipped in early spring. A dream future mandarin orange : Yume Mirai Mikan with a refreshing scent grown in a vast mandarin orange garden. It is easy to eat, the taste is condensed, the rich sweetness spreads, and the juicy juice overflows. Sweet spring seems to be difficult to cultivate and the production is not very large, but it is actually very delicious. It is a citrus that has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and has a refreshing acidity. It looks rugged because it inherits the blood of Hassaku orange, but its elegant taste is attractive. “Andes melon”, ‘Cossack × Rio Gold’ × “EARL'S FAVOURITE” × ‘Honey Dew’ -Was raised by mating. Seedling Sakata in 1977 Present: A variety announced by Sakata Seed Corporation (Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama). It is known as a representative of melons with a mesh pattern. It can be made earlier than “Prince Melon”. Since it is a slightly large ball, it seems that the cultivated area has expanded rapidly. Flesh is yellowish green and has a slightly firm impression. Evidence of ripeness at the time of eating : Grip lightly with both hands and feel moist in the palm of your hand. Making Andes Melon : It seems to start in the cold winter months. Sowing begins in December in winter - Melons are cultivated in multiple layers of vinyl greenhouses. Adjusted the number of fruits per share to four, By doing fruit thinning, everything is hand labor. SAKATA SEED CORPORATION : Japan's representative net melon “Andes” series new variety for the first time in 38 years -Developed “Red Andes”. Distribution of cantaloupe(Red meat type)began in early May 2015, mainly in Tokyo. The biggest feature of the developed “Red Andes” is the bright orange color of Flesh. The taste seems to have a sugar content of about 16 degrees. The period during which the taste and meat quality do not deteriorate Conventionally, it is about 7 to 10 days. It is a traditional variety, store at room temperature. Red Andes has been evolving for as long as 10 to 14 days. Postharvest, the meat quality is just right from the very beginning to just before it ripens. The taste is also hard to change, and the so-called ready to eat state continues for a long time. It is also suitable for gifts and cut sales demand for one person.

The harvest time of green meat melon is from early December to late January, from early April to mid-May, and the flesh is yellowish green and sweet. It seems. The fine mesh pattern can also be seen from the outside. It's time to eat when the bottom is lightly pressed with your finger and it becomes a little soft.

Inspect internal quality such as sugar content and maturity using a non-destructive fruit sorter with an optical sensor. A non-destructive fruit sorter is a common name for a machine that can measure the internal quality by irradiating fruits with near infrared rays. By introducing it, it is possible to inspect all melons without damaging the fruits. In addition, the color of light differs depending on the wavelength, and the wavelength body of the corresponding color is detected and discriminated. Colors can be discriminated by detecting the ratio of the wavelength of the projected light to the light reflected or transmitted by the inspection object.

Cygnus melon will start in early February, and shipments will continue until the end of March. After harvesting, spring melons will be replanted at any time. The pulp is yellowish-green, sweet, characterized by a fine mesh-like appearance, and is excellent in jade enlargement depending on the season.
