Strawberries produced in the farm are called “smile strawberry” with the desire to make more smiles. Through making strawberries, we make a lot of smiles for our customers, producers, and everyone involved.

【Product name】

Tochiotome

【Type】

Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier

【Producing area】

Tokiwa, Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture (Umehara Farm/Smile Strawberry Farm)

【Origin of name】

It was named because it was born in Tochigi Prefecture, which is a famous production area.

【Major features】

We have started to release a video series “Hokota no! Good Place Survey Team” that introduces the city’s special products and stores. It seems that the aim of the video is to let people know the charm and the actual situation of the release on the YOUTUBE channel “Hokota’s pride” and to connect it to emigration and settlement. By February 9, 2022, 11 videos have been released, and the final number will be about 40. Under the title of “Investigating the Hokota Brand”, the Hokota Brand Ambassadors and migrants, as a research team, listened to stories from people and places involved in the production of special products, businesses in the city, etc. There is. Each video is completed in about 1 minute so that you can watch it easily. In addition, even if you live in Hokota, there are places and shops that you do not know, so it will be an opportunity for citizens to get to know the city, and even people outside the city will be interested in the video. The video production seems to be part of the migration and settlement promotion project “Come on! Hokota” that Hokota City has been working on since 2021. In addition to the video, it seems that it has set up a special site and posted interview articles with migrants. As of November 2019: According to the producers, agriculture and strawberry cultivation are daily fights against pests, diseases and weeds. Every year, he seems to be troubled by thinking about how to provide the product with the appearance, quality, and stable price. Although it is within the standard, it can be improved to some extent by increasing the number of pesticide sprays, but it seems that it often does not work by itself. At “Umehara Farm(Smile foods)”, it seems that pests are being eradicated by natural enemies so that everyone can eat delicious strawberries (smile strawberry) with a smile and peace of mind. Phytoseiulus persimilis eats the strawberry’s intractable pest “spider mite”, so it seems that it has been introduced in large quantities. Amblyseius cucumeris (Oudeman) is also a difficult enemy pest, “Thysanoptera” : Parasitic on leaves and flowers, also known as slips. It occurs frequently especially in the hot and dry season of summer, and the flowers become malformed as the damage progresses. It seems that it will not be able to bloom. It seems that it is being used because it eats larvae. Aphidius colemani was first introduced last year. By laying eggs on “Aphido idea”, it seems that they will get rid of them. By having these natural enemies play an active role, it seems that the frequency of spraying pesticides can be reduced. It seems that “Harmonia axyridis”, which was introduced as a countermeasure against Aphido idea two years ago, was not included last year. Even inside the house, it seemed uncomfortable in the cold winter, and the website said it didn’t work. ステビア;アマハステビア : Stevia rebaudiana 栽培”(Histamine(ヒスタミン: The whole plant is sweet and has 300 times the sweetness of sugar, but has 1/90 calories, making it a popular low-calorie diet sweetener. Chewing fresh leaves tends to have a strong sweetness. When the extract extracted from the leaves and stems of stevia is sprayed on the fields, it is expected to promote the health of plants, become resistant to pests and diseases, and improve the soil such as increasing the sweetness of fruits.)is an active amine with the molecular formula C5H9N3 and a molecular weight of 111.14, and has been studied for its effective detoxification.)It’s an Asteraceae plant(A low-calorie sweetener from ingredients extracted from the leaves.)native to “Paraguay” and is rich in nutrients such as vitamins and minerals. Decomposes residual chemical substances by giving stevia extract, which has the effect of detoxifying dioxin and nicotine, to crops. In order to activate effective microorganisms, the soil that easily holds moisture and nutrients in the aggregate structure is activated. “A microorganism that retains a large amount of inorganic nitrogen”, Prevents pathogens and absorbs nutrients needed by crops. In addition, many hair roots cause absorption of calcium and magnesium, which makes plant physiology difficult. There is a tendency to produce healthy, long-lasting crops with good tension and strong tree vigor and less susceptibility to disease. The leaves contain sweet components such as stevioside and rebaudioside, which are surprising because they show about 300 times the sweetness of sugar. “Cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Piko) ” plants were drip-irrigated at four soil moisture levels (pF 1.5, pF 2.0, pF 2.5 and pF 2.9) from the 17th day before fruits on the first cluster reached the red ripe stage. Under high water stress (pF 2.9), the total dry weight and water content of the plant decreased, compared to other treatments. However, the proportion of fruit dry weight per plant gradually increased proportionately to the pF, but the proportion of the leaf and root dry weight decreased. The total sugar content of the fruit increased as the pF value rose, but that of sucrose was lower than that of glucose and fructose under all of water conditions. Starch content in the fruit was equal and decreased during its ripening in all treatments. Although the water content of the fruit decreased with higher water stress, the difference in concentration among the four conditions was within 3% so that the sugar concentration was barely affected. Total nitrogen content and the nitrogen content in the water soluble protein under water stress at pF 2.9 were lower than thoes at pF 1.5 which suggests that the low nitrogen content may account for the high sugar content. We conclude that the optimum pF value ranges between pF 2.5 and 2.9, within which is optimum tomato fruit quality without any reduction in yield.(Reference, Department of Bioresources, Hiroshima Prefectural University,Journal of the Japanese Society for Horticultural Science 1998)The objective of this study was to clarify the components affecting the quality of cherry tomatoes grown on commercial organic farms and conventional ones in summer and autumn. Sixteen pairs of conventional cherry tomato samples and organic ones were taken from 16 farms and the content of ascorbic acid, lycopene, β-carotene, sugars, citric acid, free amino acids and the production of ethylene were analyzed. The organic cherry tomatoes contained significantly high amount of ascorbic acid and lycopene, but produced significantly low rate of ethylene compared to the conventional ones.(Reference, National Agricultural Research Center for Tohoku Region with Fukushima Agricultural Technology Centre and Faculty of Agriculture, Yamagata University, Journal of the Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology 2010)The objects of this study were to determine the contents of chemicals and physiological activities (CO_2 and C_2H_4 production) in the fruit of cherry tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme Alef.) cultivar Petit at three stages of ripening (pale green fruit, Pg.;partially ripe fruit, Pr. ; table-ripe fruit, Tr.) through July to November, and to study the physiological response to physical stress at picking time. The titratable acid (TA) contents of the jelly part was higher than those of the pulp, and the growing season had no effect on the TA contents. The TA contents of the Tr. fruit were the lowest in three stages. The Tr.fruit had the highest reducing sugar (RS) content, and the fruits harvested in August had the highest RS. The jelly part had higher free amino acid (AA) contents than the pulp, and the Tr. fruit had the highest AA content. The fruits harvested in July had the highest contents of AA. Respiration rates (CO_2 production) at picking time were the greatest in Pg. fruit and less in Tr. fruit. Respiration rates of Pg. and Pr. fruits decreased and Tr. fruit did not show an obvious change during a holding at 20℃. The C_2H_4 production of Pr. fruit was the greatest and less in Tr. fruit, and C_2H_4 productions of Pr. and Tr. fruits harvested in a high temperature season were greater than those of the fruits harvested in a cool season. Respiration rates and C_2H_4 productions of all fruits increased after the physical stress at picking time. The rate of increase in Pr. fruit was the greatest.(Reference, Graduate School of Agriculture and Biological Sciences, Osaka Prefecture University, Journal of the Japanese Society of Agricultural Technology Management 2000)Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture,” Located in the Rokko region in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, it is one of the leading agricultural areas in Japan, blessed with a vast Pacific Ocean and abundant green land. Agriculture, which takes advantage of the flat terrain and mild climate, is a key industry and a food supply area for the entire metropolitan area. Not only fruits such as melons and strawberries, which are famous nationwide. Japanese mustard spinach, spinach, mizuna greens, tomato, carrot and other vegetables, which are known all over the country for many items. Oodo’s Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn(Indian soapberry): City natural monument – The light candy-colored fruit is impressive. When peeled, a black seed appears from inside. The seeds are used for the black balls on the wings of the New Year play battledore and shuttlecock. The real skin was used as a detergent in the past. That’s because when you rub it in water, bubbles form and it’s suitable for removing dirt. Minowa: ‘Tokushuku Castle: Designated as a city historic site’, Built by Mr. Tokushuku’s first Chikamoto-Ko at the end of the Heian period. He had been Shimotsuke no jo (local official for the Shimotsuke Province) before, but, by his merit of hunting down TAIRA no Masakado-Ko, he was promoted to Jushiinoge (Junior Forth Rank, Lower Grade) and appointed to the post of kokushi (provincial governors) for the Shimotsuke and Musashi Provisions as well as Chinju-fu shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Defense of the North) and increased his power. After passing through the castle monument, climb the stairs at the entrance, and you will see a waist from the southwest to the south on your right. When you climb the stairs, you will find the main shrine, the Inari Shrine, the stone monument of Tokushuku monument to the memorial service, and the Hokyointo. etc. Father Narimoto Kashima-Ko is the 7th generation from Taira no Kunika-Ko(Takamochi did not return to Kyoto after he served out his term, and his sons Kunika filled the post of Hitachi no daijo (Senior Secretary of Hitachi Province) and Yoshimasa of Chinju-fu shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Defense of the North)), who follows the tradition of Emperor Kanmu, and governs Kashima District at the will of the Hitachi Daijo clan. Tokushuku’s second generation(The ancestor of Mr. Anbo. Based in Kamata Castle Ruins)Mr. Hidemoto’s eldest son, Toshimoto-Ko, transferred the area including Awa and Hokota. In February 1336, he proceeded into the Urizura-jo Castle, and fought against Sadayoshi SATAKE-Ko and others of the Northern Court side, in cooperation of the Naka-Kawanobe family group lead by Haruhisa ODA, Michitoki NAKA-Ko, the Daijo family group lead by Tsuneyasu HIROHASHI-Ko, Takamoto DAIJO-Ko, and Nobumasa NAGAOKA-Ko, and the Chiba family group lead by Tanehira SOMA-Ko, among others. In 1486, when Tokushuku was the 9th Michimoto, he was attacked by Mr. Edo(Shigemichi fiercely attacked the Daijo clan who had their base in Fuchu), who is based in Mito Castle. etc. 歴史 / 伝統文化,『鉾神社夏祭り大祭』は, およそ400年以上の歴史をもつ鉾田最大の祭礼で, 8月の最終の金, 土, 日に行われる. 勇壮な神輿とともに, 山車や獅子舞が市内を巡行し, 街は, お囃子の音に包まれる.『厳島神社(Itsukushima (Miyajima): Island centering on Itsukushima-jinja Shrine existing in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture.)』は, 子生の弁天様の名で親しまれている神社で, 1078年(承暦2年), 安芸宮島の厳島神社より分霊を迎えられたのが始まりと言われている. 貴重な建築物で, 県指定の文化財となっている.『無量寿寺』は, 806年(大同元年), 平城天皇(When Emperor Heizei had a conflict with his brother, Emperor Saga, and tried to move the capital in Heian kyo back to Heijokyo, Emperor Saga petitioned the deity that he would dedicate his daughter to Kamo no Okami (a guardian god of the capital) as ‘Areotome’ (a woman to join in the ceremony held at the Kamo-jinja Shrine for welcoming gods) if he had a chance of winning.)の勅願所として建立された. 1221年(承久3年)から3年間, 親鸞和尚(Selected and described by Shinran, the founder of the sect)が, この寺で教えを広めたと言われる.『大儀寺』は, 684年(貞享元年)仏頂禅師が, 廃庵となっていた, “大儀庵” を復興させ改められた. 禅師は, Mr. “Basyo Matsuo(Mr. Kigin KITAMURA’s one’s Student)” It is told that there was a friendship with. “Shaka Nyorai Statue” is valuable as a nationally designated important cultural property of “Okura Fukusenji”. It is made of cypress parquet and the statue height is 165.5 cm. Twelve Buddha statues are also embossed in the backlit part. , Created at the end of the Kamakura period. Developed during the Edo period as a key point for land and water transportation connecting Edo with the Tohoku and Hitachi regions. The traffic of humans and horses and the distribution of goods centered on marine products became popular, and agricultural products were also shipped to the Edo area. Minowa; “箕輪”(Former Asahi Village), It is right next to the producer’s field. Mizu shrine and Yagami shrine: It’s small, quietly blended into the area, and has an old-fashioned atmosphere like “the god of the village Guardian”. When you go up the old stone stairs, there is a stone monument next to the shrine, and the origin of the shrine is engraved. Yamato takeru no mikoto is eastern expedition – Take a boat from Kashima City Tsunoori (formerly Ono Village) and land near Kamigama, Hokota City. After that, I went inland and took a rest for a while on the south bank of Hinuma(Brackish water lake of Nakagawa water system). Then, when he departed, he gave the villagers a Crossbow (a stone bow that shoots an arrow). It is said that this shrine was dedicated to the villagers and built a small shrine. Nihonshoki(Chronicles of Japan); 日本武尊, Kojiki(Records of Ancient Matters); 倭建命, Hitachi Fudoki (description of the culture, climate, etc. of Hitachi province; approx. 720 CE); 倭武天皇. Various names and notations are confirmed in these documents. Legend has it that he wore one of the three sacred treasures, the Nagi-sword, and worked hard to settle the nations. The route and place of stay of Tosei are different between Kojiki and Nihonshoki. There are various theories about this, but there was also a legend that stopped by this place near Hinuma. 常盤-梅原農園 : From December 1, 2019 IoT devices that measure the environment inside the house are installed. It is possible to measure temperature, humidity, amount of solar radiation, and CO2 concentration, and it seems that the data can be graphed and viewed on a smartphone or personal computer. By seeing (visualizing) the experience and intuition so far as concrete numerical values, it seems that we are managing to create a better environment for strawberries and make them more happy for our customers. Even in the harsh natural environment of these days, strawberries, sweet potatoes, and spinach, which have made multifaceted efforts from both aspects of “intuition” and “visualization of data,” are exquisite. “Internet of Things” : Not only information and communication devices such as computers, but also various objects (things) existing in the world have communication functions, and by connecting to the Internet and communicating with each other, automatic recognition and control, It means to perform remote measurement and so on. 造谷 – 厳島神社本殿 : Konaji Ground -Worshipped deity ; 市杵島姫命(A pillar of the Three Goddesses of Munakata, the god of water.)- It is said that the company welcomed the spirit from Itsukushima in Aki on New Year’s Day in 1265.

However, Nakajima and Yatsuda(Reservoir)theory are influential. Transferred to a Konaji – In August 1672, everything from the Shrine building to the trees in the precincts was burnt down. Therefore, there are no records related to shrines. The main shrine was designated as a prefectural cultural property in March 1968. The hall of worship was designated as a village cultural property in September 1973.

The former Funaki Elementary School was closed in the spring of 2016. The old Yoshino cherry tree that blooms in the middle of the schoolyard is a famous cherry blossom that goes along with the history of the school. According to “Public Relations Hokota”, the school opened in 1909, and the cherry blossoms in the center of the schoolyard are old trees over 100 years old. Currently, the school building has been demolished, but the cherry blossoms seem to remain.

Variety registrant, Hanawada, Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, Registered cultivar breeder, Mr. Ishihara, Mr. Takano, Mr. Ueki, Mr. Tochigi. A Tochigi variety with a good balance of sourness and sweetness, and excellent compatibility with sweets such as fresh cream. Instead of “Nyoho”, it became a representative strawberry in eastern Japan, and it is the most produced variety in Japan. Large, glossy fruit with firm fruit, strong aroma, sweetness and moderate acidity. It seems that the first strawberry shipping work of this season by the JA Shimotsuke Strawberry Subcommittee(Tochigi Strawberry Subcommittee, Mibu District Strawberry Subcommittee)was carried out on October 25, 2021 at the collection and shipping site in Fukuwada, Mibu Town. I heard that there are no natural disasters or illnesses this year and that growth is going well. 246 strawberry farmers are members of the group. The cultivated area has reached 64 hectares including “Skyberry(I heard that it was named after the famous Mt. Sukai of hundred famous mountains in Japan in the prefecture. It is hoped that all of “big, beautiful and delicious” will reach the sky. “Tochigi No. i27” : Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration homepage, Application number 26477 Date of application 2011/11/15 Date of publication of application 2012/02/20 Registration number 23749.

Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station: “Strawberries” in Tochigi Prefecture boast the highest production volume and sales value in Japan, and “Tochiotome” developed by this prefecture seems to occupy 30% of the strawberry planted area in Japan at present. Aiming for the further development of “Strawberry Kingdom Tochigi”, the first “Strawberry Research Institute” in Japan was opened on October 1, 2008. In addition to fostering new varieties that will lead the next generation and developing new technologies, we are very much looking forward to it as a comprehensive research and development base for strawberries, which is also equipped with new functions such as research and analysis of consumption trends and training.

It was also called the 10th original variety of Tochigi prefecture, also known as “Tochigi i37”. It is a completely new kind of strawberry that was first shipped from Tochigi in the fall of 2019. It seems that it was decided by the purchaser. The name was decided to be Tochiaika, which received the most votes from Tochiaika, Tochiakari, Tochimaru, Tochireiwa, Emika, and Amane. Tochiaika was filed for variety registration in 2018 by the Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station Ichigo Research Institute (Tochigi City). The grains are relatively large, have little acidity, and have a strong sweetness, and are characterized by a hard texture as a strawberry. The inside of the fruit is white. The yield per unit area is 30% higher than that of Tochiotome, which makes it easier to cultivate. The most famous variety from Tochigi is “Tochiotome”, but it seems that farmers were worried about being susceptible to the disease “chloranemia(Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtendahl: Fries f.sp. fragariae Winks et Williams)(It is a type of filamentous fungus and is transmitted from the roots of strawberries. When the disease develops, the new leaves turn yellow-green, twist in a boat shape, and 1-2 of the 3 leaflets become smaller. When the crown of the diseased strain was cut, part or all of the vascular bundle turned brown. When it occurs in the parent strain of the nursery, the number of runners that occur decreases, and malformed leaves also occur in the new leaves of the runners. When it occurs during the harvest season, fruit set is reduced and fruit enlargement is worsened. The optimum temperature for growth of pathogens is around 28 ° C, and the optimum soil temperature for disease onset is 25 to 30 ° C. It spreads by soil transmission and seedling transmission (latent infection), and is secondarily transmitted by splashing of water droplets due to rainfall or overhead irrigation. I’ve heard that continuous cropping of strawberries in the field where this disease occurred will increase the damage. It seems to be a relatively new disease discovered in 1970. At first, one or two leaflets of new leaves turn yellowish green, and they are miniaturized and rolled into a boat shape. The leaves that develop after that also become malformed, and the entire plant becomes significantly poorly grown. The leaves are lifeless, exhibit yellowing, and are purplish-red, and the entire plant may die. When it occurs in the parent strain of the nursery, the number of runners is reduced, and the new leaves of the runners are also malformed. When it occurs during the harvest season, fruit set is reduced and fruit enlargement is also worsened. It may wither before showing yellowing or malformations of new leaves (acute symptoms). When the crown is cut, part or all of the vascular bundle is discolored from brown to dark brown, and most of the roots are also dark brown, and many of them are rotten. Mild strains seem to have no symptoms at low temperatures. Pathogens only affect strawberries. It forms large conidia, small conidia, and chlamydospores, and mainly chlamydospores remain in the soil and become a source of infection. They invade from the roots of strawberries, invade conduits, and become infected. Chlamydospores survive in soil for long periods of 4-5 years or longer. The optimum temperature for growth is around 28 ° C. In addition to soil transmission, when a lightly damaged strain is used as the parent strain, the fungus is transferred to the seedlings through the runner, and it seems that seedling transmission is often carried out. The optimum soil temperature for disease onset is 25 to 30 ° C, and it is easy to get infected and get sick in the high temperature period, but it seems that the symptoms may become unclear in the very hot midsummer. It is said that it is easy to get sick in continuous cropping fields, fields with large difference in soil dryness, fields with low pH, and fields where a large amount of undecomposed organic matter is applied. When the generated field strain is used as the parent strain, the disease of runners and seedlings collected from them increases. There are differences in the onset of illness depending on the variety, and it seems that the early life of treasure is extremely weak. Compared to Wase Hoko(I heard that the origin of the name is “Hoko”, which is a variety crossed in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, and “Wase”, which is a variety that can be shipped earlier than other varieties at the time of development. Both the skin and flesh are soft and juicy. It is a standard variety of outdoor cultivation by cross breeding of “Kogyoku” × “Tahoe”.

It was born in 1998, and now that the production technology has been established, it is licensed outside the prefecture without monopolizing the varieties. It is conical and well-aligned, and the flesh is bright red and white with a glossy finish. Ideal sweetness with less sourness and cleanliness. It has a faint floral scent and is suitable for transportation.), etc. are less susceptible to disease, but they seem to be more likely to develop the disease in contaminated fields with high bacterial density.)”, which is said to be the natural enemy of strawberries. Therefore, after repeated research at the Tochigi Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station Ichigo Research Institute, we finally developed a long-awaited variety that is resistant to diseases. The characteristic of Tochiaika is its sweetness. The sugar content is about the same as Tochiotome, but the sweetness is more pronounced due to the less sourness. Very fragrant and juicy. The size is between Tochiotome and Skyberry, but it seems to grow into a large ball size that looks good. The remaining two houses are cultivated in soil, and it seems that it is also a place for demonstration experiments to confirm which is more suitable for cultivation than hydroponics. It is hard to get sick, has cold resistance, is highly environmentally friendly, and is easy to cultivate, so it seems to be a variety suitable for people with little cultivation history and new farmers. In addition, the flowers grow quickly and bloom continuously, so the fruits are produced one after another, and stable yields and increased yields can be expected. Furthermore, it is said that the long harvest period from the end of October to the beginning of June is a great advantage for producers. “Strawberry” in Tochigi Prefecture, which developed Tochiaika, boasts the highest production volume and sales value in Japan, and “Tochiotome” developed by this prefecture currently occupies 30% of the strawberry acreage in Japan. That’s it. Aiming for further development of “Strawberry Kingdom Tochigi”, the first “Strawberry Research Institute” in Japan was opened on October 1, 2008. As a comprehensive R & D base for strawberries, which is equipped with functions such as research and analysis of consumption trends and training, in addition to fostering new varieties and developing new technologies that will lead the next generation, not only local governments but also the national government And supports the world. Skin-whitening effect, improvement of visual function, prevention of infectious diseases, relief of stress, maintenance of female health such as during pregnancy, lowering cholesterol level, prevention of diabetes, elimination of constipation, prevention of tooth decay.

A standard variety in the strawberry world. It is also cultivated in many places in Ibaraki prefecture, and accounts for most of the strawberries produced. It has a high sugar content and a moderately sour taste, and its flesh is firm and is popular with many fans. Ibaraki Prefecture has the 7th largest planted area in Japan (2020 Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries statistics). It is one of the leading strawberry producing areas in Japan.

At the farm, you can check the details from the colorful HP. Strawberries have begun to be harvested from November 3rd in 2022, and it seems that they are harvesting and packing strawberries almost every day without being busy.

According to the representative, how to handle strawberries changes depending on the environment at that time, facing nature and listening to the voice of strawberries. To be honest, it seems that he is suffering from the lack of sunshine and the heat of summer. However, he states that he will do his best to make everyone (consumers) happy with a smile. Indeed, he is a hard worker and has a good personality.

【Product name】

Maitake mushroom(Shinshu Nakano)

【Type】

Grifola frondosa (Dicks.) Gray

【Producing area】

Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture (JA Nakano City, JA Zen-Noh Nagano)

【Origin of name】

I heard that it was named as a mushroom with a rare value that makes the person who found it soar and appreciate it.

【Major features】

From the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era, clay dolls (Nakano) were deeply rooted in the lives of ordinary people all over the country, and the wisdom, sayings, and lessons contained in the dolls became the culture of many children in Japan. It has played a major role in the formation of the human mind. In Nakano City, the “Nakano Doll” produced by the Nara family and the “Tategahana Doll” produced by the Nishihara family (in the mid-1897s, at that time, Nishihara’s work (first generation) was Angenji in Nakano City. It seems that they were manufacturing roof tiles in the temple area. It is said that Umesaburo Saito (real name: Umetaro), a gargoyle craftsman in Mikawa, Aichi Prefecture, made clay dolls as a side job during the winter season.) ” , These are collectively called “Nakano clay doll”. It is rare in Japan that two lines with different processes and characteristics from the place of origin are produced in the same area using traditional traditional techniques, which seems to be the reason why Nakano City is called “Clay Doll Village”. The spring something characteristic of a particular season “Nakano Doll City” in Kita Shinshu, which is visited by jar doll lovers nationwide, is scheduled to be held on March 31st (Thursday) and April 1st (Friday), 2022. It seems that the purchasers of Nakano Dobina will be decided by a preliminary lottery this year as well to prevent infection. 舞茸 : It has been time-consuming to collect and has been prized since ancient times. It is rich and has a delicious flavor. Light is essential for Maitake mushrooms cultivation. Generally, a fluorescent lamp installed on the ceiling is used. Discovered from research that LED(発光ダイオード: light emitting diode; Invented by Nick Holoniac, Jr. in 1962 : Red color)s can be used for maitake mushrooms cultivation as an alternative to fluorescent lights. Therefore, it is expected to contribute to the cost reduction of producers and the stabilization of management. Widely used for cooking and high in nutritional value. Tempura, vinegared food, seasoned, grilled, simmered, stir-fried, fried, soup, cooked rice, etc. Ingredients that make your heart love to your important person. Please recover quickly with enough nutrition and sleep. It is said that it was named Maitake mushrooms because of its deliciousness that makes you want to dance. It features an umbrella that looks like a petal, and the one with good freshness has a crisp tension on the umbrella. It seems that the stem part with a crispy texture is also preferred in the production area. It is clear that it is rich in β-glucan and vitamin D, which have the function of boosting immunity. In early autumn 2019, four mushroom producers in Nakano City, including K-AI Ogiwara (Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture: Saigo Takamori’s favorite word in his later years was “love people; 敬天愛人.” To respect the heavens is to be good with the natural reason, the right way as a human being, that is, the heavenly way. It is said that the basic principle of loving people is to lose one’s desires and selfishness and to live with an “altruistic” mind. He humbly follows nature and contributes to the development of local industries and the improvement of job creation through the production of mushrooms. The cool climate of Shinshu seems to be the best environment for mushroom cultivation. Under these circumstances, it seems that it aims to be a company that pays close attention to food safety and security and can contribute to health based on the trust of customers.), a major producer of Flamemulina velutipes, seem to have launched a new company for producing enokitake mushrooms. It seems that it has set up a factory in the city and started shipping in October. The city has the highest production of flammulina velutipes in the whole country, but it seems that there was no production of enokitake mushrooms so far (Flammulina velutipes cultivation started in 1957 in Nakano city. It has become popular among farmers as a side business during the off-season in winter. After that, the number of full-time producers increased and it developed into facility production. In recent years, the quality and production volume have been improved by improving the technology and varieties over many years and building a division of labor system between agricultural cooperatives and producers. Yields have increased significantly due to the increase in size of facilities and the introduction of the latest technology. In addition, rare high-class mushrooms are produced as well as bunashimeji mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and nameko mushrooms, creating the “Kingdom of Mushrooms”). I heard that they will jointly participate in the production of enokitake mushrooms, which have a higher unit price than Flammulina velutipes, etc., in order to improve profits. Apple Japanese Beef cow Shinshu Beef’s efforts and construction of an integrated distribution system that integrates production and sales: The reason for this and the background of the efforts, but in 1962, Daishin Livestock Industry Co., Ltd. was established as a meat processing manufacturer in the production area in Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture. rice field. It seems that this triggered the gathering of beef cattle producers in the neighborhood to form a study group and actively work on the production of higher quality beef cattle. In 1973, the oil crisis seems to have caused the price of imported feed to soar. In response to this, it seems that the producer invested and established Nakano Solid Roughage, an agricultural cooperative corporation. Through trial and error, we developed a special compound feed made by fermenting the squeezed lees of apple juice, which is a by-product of food production, and started regional branding of cows fed this feed. After applying for trademark registration, it seems that it became an apple Japanese beef Shinshu beef. In order to stabilize beef cattle fattening management, it is important to reduce production costs, increase the added value of beef, foster consumer understanding, link to purchases, and improve gross profits. Has been done. In the “Basic Policy for Modernizing Dairy and Beef Cattle Production” announced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in March 2015, products are one of the measures to strengthen the profitability of livestock management. It is clear that there is a need to improve the added value of. It seems that the establishment of regional brand beef with brand and “production area” is one of the efforts to differentiate it to increase added value. In recent years, in addition to regional brand beef that has traditionally been imaged as high-class beef, we have been promoting initiatives for regional brand beef from a perspective that is characterized by breed characteristics and breeding methods to meet diverse consumer needs. Seems to be increasing. Since the latter half of the 1975, discussions on the liberalization of beef imports have become active, and the environment surrounding beef cattle production seems to have become harsher due to intensifying competition between production areas in Japan. Until then, branding was promoted by producers and Daishin Livestock, but with the aim of unifying regional brand cattle, creating a more rational processing and distribution system, and instilling it in consumers, within Nagano Prefecture. Maruichi Co., Ltd. (a wholesale company that handles all kinds of food products, mainly marine products, and is listed independently on the Second Section of the Nagoya Stock Exchange. Sun. Capital 3,719,860,000 yen. Number of employees 559 (as of March 31, 2021). Fiscal year ending March 31, every year. Main business contents Marine products and processed marine products, daily foods and frozen foods, general dry It seems that it has asked for participation in the wholesale business of food and processed foods, livestock products and processed livestock products. Retail store support business. Distribution / refrigerated warehouse business. OA equipment / communication equipment sales. Insurance agency business. It seems that Maruichi Co., Ltd. responded to this by building an integrated system that connects production, processing, and distribution into one, and became the current Shinshu Japanese Beef Production and Sales Council. The shipped apple Japanese beef cow Shinshu beef seems to have been processed by Daishin Livestock according to the demands of the customers. It is sold by Maruichi Co., Ltd., and it seems that it is sold to major mass retailers, restaurants, retail stores, etc. that can wholesale a large quantity. It is said that major mass retailers have many requests regarding prices and specifications at the time of delivery, but during the peak demand period (December), they refuse to deliver because they cannot respond to detailed processing orders from the sales destination. It seems that they are doing equal transactions. In this way, it seems that the reason why equal transactions are possible is that the trust of continuously delivering a certain amount of supply and the strength as a regional brand are utilized. The council seems to participate in business negotiation events such as exhibitions and promote it in order to raise awareness as a brand. In addition, it seems that all the producers of apple Japanese beef Shinshu beef have joined the “Shinshu 安心 Agricultural Products”, which is an initiative unique to Nagano Prefecture, and it has become a certified farm. Beef grown on this “Shinshu Peace of Mind Agricultural Products” certified farm and having a high oleic acid content is also certified as “Shinshu Premium Beef”, which contributes to improving the product competitiveness of regional brand beef. Seems to be thinking. In recent years, it has been difficult to maintain the number of shipments due to the decrease in producers. However, in order to meet the shipment volume requested by our business partners and maintain the trust of local brands, we have devised ways such as requesting Maruichi Co., Ltd. to join the production subcommittee from Greenfield Co., Ltd., which was established with the investment of JA Saku Asama. It seems that the number of shipments is being maintained while doing so. In this way, by building and maintaining a fixed-time fixed-quantity delivery system, it seems that it leads to sales while building a good relationship of trust with the sales destination. The Shinshu Beef Production and Sales Council was established while involving a large number of stakeholders, such as establishing a feed factory led by the producer and developing distribution and sales destinations if the sales aspect is weak, and is involved in production, processing and distribution. It seems to be characterized by building an integrated system. It seems that the production subcommittee and the sales subcommittee meet twice a year to exchange opinions and hold study sessions. In addition, I hear that it has led to the establishment and further development of apple Wagyu Shinshu beef as a regional brand beef in cooperation with governments such as Nagano Prefecture and Nakano City. Nakano City formulated the Biomass(It is a concept that expresses the amount (mass) of biological resources (bio), which is a renewable, biologically-derived organic resource excluding fossil resources. It is an organic substance produced by photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide using solar energy, and is a sustainable and renewable resource as long as there is life and solar energy in our life cycle. Petroleum and other fossil resources are depleted when mined underground, but plants seem to be able to sustainably produce biomass with the sun, water and carbon dioxide. Unlike carbon dioxide emitted by burning fossil resources, carbon dioxide released when burned is carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis during the growth process of living organisms, so carbon dioxide is newly increased in the atmosphere. It is said to be a “carbon-neutral” resource that does not allow it. Classified into waste biomass(Livestock excrement, food waste, waste paper, black liquor (pulp factory effluent), sewage sludge, urine sludge, construction-generated wood, lumber factory, etc.), unused biomass(Rice straw, straw, rice husk, forest residue), and resource crops according to their endowment status(Sugar resources (sugar cane, etc.), starch resources (corn, etc.), fat resources (rapeseed, etc.), willow, poplar, switchgrass). It is required to convert and utilize useful products and energy by the technology suitable in the region. Characteristically, fossil resources such as oil are difficult to reuse once they are used, whereas biomass is a renewable resource, and fossil resources are carbon dioxide that causes global warming due to combustion and the like. While it emits carbon (CO2), it is carbon-neutral.)Town concept in 2009, launched the promotion council in 2010, and seems to have made a substantial start. It seems that the budget could not be budgeted in 2011 due to the policy change of the country (government). After that, a new support system by the government started in 2013, and in 2015, the biomass industrial city concept was formulated, but unfortunately, I heard that the country was not selected. After that, it was reviewed and selected in the open call for participants in 2019. In addition, this project is being promoted by the Cabinet Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and seven other related ministries. In addition, we expect great results by gathering public wisdom as a major project through industry-academia-government collaboration. A biomass industry city is an integrated system that secures economic efficiency from collection / transportation, manufacturing, and utilization, using biomass existing in the region as a raw material, and creates an industry that utilizes the biomass of the region and energy for regional circulation. An area that aims to create an environment-friendly and disaster-resistant town centered on the biomass industry that makes the most of the characteristics of the region by strengthening the area. Nagano Prefecture, which started artificial cultivation of enokitake mushrooms using glass bottles in the early Showa era, is now the number one producer of enokitake mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, and king trumpet mushrooms. The main production area is Nakano City, and of JA Nakano City’s agricultural product sales of 26.8 billion yen last year, 20.9 billion yen is mushrooms. Among them, enokitake mushrooms account for about 50,000 tons, which accounts for nearly 40% of the national production. It seems that they have been working on the production of enokitake mushrooms throughout the region while introducing new production technology in order to produce cash crops in winter instead of migrant workers. The production process of enokitake can be roughly divided into mycelial culture for culturing bacteria and production control for growing enokitake itself from there, but it seems that a division of labor system has been established in the jurisdiction to pursue efficiency and quality improvement. The inoculum seems to have been jointly developed by JA Nakano City and the Nagano Prefectural Rural Industrial Research Institute. The inoculum center propagates this, selects excellent ones, sends them to the culture center, inoculates them in bottles filled with medium, and hands them to the producers. It is said that productivity has improved dramatically by dividing the difficult culture work that was once done by producers. In addition, the introduction of the liquid inoculation method in 2008 made it possible to shorten the culture period by about 5 days, and the medium used to be sawdust and rice bran, but by using corn core (corn cob) as well. , It seems that the yield could be greatly increased. In addition, a large-scale producer group in the city has set up corporations to grow Bunashimeji mushrooms and King trumpet mushrooms, respectively. I really want to pay attention. “Yamacha mushroom” is the original species of enokitake mushroom, which has good taste, texture and aroma and is also called “brown mushroom” or “brown mushroom”. It seems that it has been attracting attention recently because it has a stronger sweetness and a better texture than the white enokitake mushrooms that you often see. Also, the impression is that the texture is crisper than the white enoki mushrooms that are commonly seen. A big feature is that it has a long shelf life. You can keep it fresh for a few days in the refrigerator. It contains three times as many amino acids as white enoki mushrooms, and especially essential amino acids (10 important amino acids that are indispensable to the human body. If even one is missing, it may cause serious nutritional disorders). It seems that many are included. Amino acids have been proven to be highly effective against antihypertension and diabetes. In 2003, published in Mushroom science and biotechnology, Vol. 11, No. 4. According to the research results at Toyama Forestry and Forest Products Research Center, Forest Experiment Station and Toyama food institute, the effects of bean paste as a medium base material on fruiting body yield and fruiting body components were investigated in the cultivation of enokitake mushroom beds. When the sugioga powder was replaced with bean paste, the fruiting body yield was constant and increased by about 10% when the replacement ratio was 50% or more. The replacement rate was 60%, which was the highest, and increased by about 20%. By doing so, the fruiting body yield was higher than that of Sugioga flour and rice bran medium, and it was suggested that Ezomatsuoga flour could be a useful medium base material by mixing with bean paste. By substituting with bean paste, the enokitake fruiting bodies tended to decrease the content of crude protein and crude fat, and increase the content of free sugar / sugar alcohol, organic acid, and free amino acid. In particular, arabinitol, glycerol, The contents of alanin and glycine increased. It seems that it was speculated that the sweetness of the fruiting body of Enokitake mushrooms was expressed by the increase of these components. Nagano Prefecture’s agriculture boasts a high first-class rice ratio with the highest yield of rice in Japan due to the advanced technology and diligence of farmers, and the core garden crops are lettuce, apples, etc. A variety of high-quality items are produced in a well-balanced manner, including items with the highest market share in Japan such as “grapes”, carnations, and Enoki mushroom. The Nagano Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station is said to be conducting experimental research to solve problems in agriculture and fisheries, centered on six experimental sites(Agricultural Experiment Station(Ogawara, Suzaka), Fruit Tree Experiment Station(Ogawara, Suzaka), Vegetable Flower Experiment Station(Soga, Shiojiri), Livestock Experiment Station(Kataoka, Shiojiri), Nanshin Agricultural Experiment Station(Shimoichida, Takamori, Shimoina), Fishery Experiment Station(Akashinanakagawate, Azumino).)in the prefecture. The new “Nakano City”, which was created by the merger of Nakano City and Toyota Village on April 1, 2005, is located in the northeastern part of Nagano Prefecture. Two iconic mountains, Mt. Kosha (1351.5 m) to the northeast and Mt. Madarao (1381.8 m) to the northwest, are located across the Chikuma River, which runs through the center of the city. Villages are formed on the river terraces created by the Chikuma River and the alluvial fan formed by the Yomase River, and the urban area extends over the Nakano alluvial fan. Mt. Kosha is a beautiful mountain that rises independently, and is known as “Takayashiro”, and has been the object of worship since ancient times. At the foot of the river, the Yomase River forms a “Jusan cliff(It is a natural monument with the name of a historic site that has been designated by the national government as the “13 cliffs of Chogenbo breeding ground” (designated on November 14, 1953). It is a cliff formed by the Yomase River, which is a tributary of the Chikuma River, eroding the alluvial fan where the volcanic rocks of Mt. Kosha were carried and deposited by rivers and landslides. It seems that the Yomase River used to flow on the southwest side of Nakano City, but it is said that the flow moved to the north side due to the flood in 1406, and it became a position close to the present. The vertical cliff surface is maintained because the cliff surface was repeatedly eroded by the Yomase River. I heard that the cliff extends from northwest to southeast for about 1,500 m and maintains a height of 30 m or more in the central part. Rookery has been recorded in Spain, Germany, Japan, Norway, Russia, etc., but I heard that Japan has the most records. Rookery takes place in cliffs and holes in buildings, but the number of nests varies from two to 28. In Japan, cliff rookery has been discovered in Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures since around 1950. However, it seems that the number of pairs has decreased in these rookeries, and there are many rookeries that have disappeared. Among them, the breeding ground was designated as a national natural monument in 1953, and is famous as a rookery on a rare cliff in the world, which continues to breed even now.)” and flows north, pouring into the Chikuma River. To the south of the Nakano alluvial fan is the lowland off Entoku, which is further connected to Zenkojidaira in the southwest. In addition, Mt. Madarao consists of five ridges that look like spread palms, with four valleys and many swamps between them, and the terrain is rugged and complex. It joins the Madarao River and pours into the Chikuma River. To the east, Joshinetsu Kogen National Park Shiga Kogen is desired, and to the west, it is said that it is blessed with a scenic view of Hokushin Gogaku(Nasu Godake-Mt. Chausu, Mt. Asahi, Mt. Sanbonyaridake, Mt. Minamigassan, Mt. Kurooya. Echizen Godake-Mt. Haku, Mt. Hino, Mt. Monju, Mt. Ochi, Mt. Yoshinogadake. “Hokushin Gogaku-Mt. Iizuna, Mt. Togaku, Mt. Kurohime, Mt. Myoko, Mt.

Artificial cultivation of mushrooms is said to have started from shiitake mushrooms about 300 years ago. Currently, there are about 20 types of artificially cultivated mushrooms, all of which are saprotrophic mushrooms, and mycorrhizal mushrooms such as matsutake mushrooms are said to be difficult to cultivate. Cultivation methods include log cultivation and fungal bed cultivation. Log cultivation, in which a hole is made in a log and the inoculum is planted, is a traditional method close to nature, and is mainly used for shiitake mushrooms and Pholiota nameko. Other cultivated mushrooms are grown on a fungal bed, and most of them seem to be grown on a medium that is hardened by adding a nutrient source to sawdust. Mushrooms are low in calories and rich in dietary fiber, B vitamins, vitamin D and other nutrients. In the blood of β-glucan, which enhances the immune system and is a functional component of general shiitake mushrooms, eritadenine (a type of adenosine analog, known as a potent inhibitor of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine ​​hydrolase (SAHH)). It is also expected to have effects that contribute to health, such as lowering cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

SHINSHU Nakano: As a representative of high-class mushrooms, it has been especially useful in eastern Japan. In recent years, since the artificial cultivation method has been established, it has become possible to easily enjoy its characteristic flavor and aroma.

In Nagano Prefecture, the application of “Priority Measures to Prevent Spread” has ended on March 6, 2022, but the Hokushin area (Nakano City / Iiyama City, Yamanouchi Town, Shimotakai District, Kijimadaira Village, Nozawa Onsen Village, etc. Sakae Village, Shimominochi District) continues to take measures for infection alert level 5. I hope that the economic situation will recover sooner than anywhere else.

Facing KUMANONADA, it is blessed with a warm climate that rarely snows even in winter, and is a major orange producing area. The sweet “NANKI mandarin oranges” are cultivated by taking advantage of the glittering sunlight. Brand certification of prefectural products and producers that are recognized as a set.

【Product name】

【Origin of name】

The place of origin is said to be eastern Himalayan. Originally, it was “limbu” in Hindu, Chinese, “lemon”, and the transliteration in English was “lemon”. Arabic is “laimun”, “limun”, and Latin is “limo”, French, Spanish, “limon”. Over time, it has not been clarified directly.

【Major features】

In Mihama Town, Minamimuro District, Mie Prefecture, which is known as a town where mandarin oranges can be harvested all year round, the shipment of high-grade citrus “dekopon (Citrus reticulata Siranui)” is at its peak. The parent species is a variety called “Shiranui” made by multiplying Kiyomi and Ponkan, and only those that meet the high criteria of sugar content of 13 degrees or more and acidity of 1 degree or less can be named. It is citrus. From the outside, the calyx part is raised, and about 200 farmers are cultivating dekopon around MIHAMA Town. At the “JA Ise Mie Nanki Unified Fruit Sorting Plant” in the same town, the shipping work of SUMO mandarin has reached its peak, and at the workplace, the sugar content and acidity are checked using an optical sensor, and only agricultural products that meet the standards are selected. It seems that the work of packing the boxes carefully one by one is being carried out. The shipping work is carried out until the beginning of April every year, and it seems that about 250 tons will be shipped to the markets in Mie and Aichi prefectures. The area under the jurisdiction of the “Ise Agricultural Cooperative” is located in the Nansei area of Mie prefecture, and seems to be blessed with a relatively warm climate. In addition to the Hokusei and Chusei regions of Mie prefecture, it is also close to large consumption areas such as Nagoya and Osaka, so as you will see later, in addition to paddy rice and wheat and soybeans as crops, vegetables, fruit trees, and tea It seems that cultivation is flourishing. In May 2011, the “Vegetable Making Study Group” was established within the JA Ise jurisdiction in Mie Prefecture. It seems that there are 15 members who have graduated from the “Vegetable Study School” that JA is conducting for new farmers. At the time of the establishment, the JA staff and the members of the study group were considering new cultivation items, and it seems that a seed company in the prefecture and a wholesaler in Nagoya City proposed to grow Aletta. It seems that he decided to try cultivating Aletta in order to try cultivating new crops. I heard that the planted area was about 50 ares. Aletta will be seeded after the end of July, raised for about 20 days, and then planted in a field with plenty of compost. Then, after the end of December, when the growing top flower buds are about the size of a ping-pong ball, cut the main stem so as to leave side buds and harvest (because the side branches grow one after another even after the top flower buds are harvested. It seems that side branches can be harvested in sequence). After harvesting, weigh the pieces to 150 grams, pack them in bags, and ship them to the collection point. At the time of 2012, it seems that it was shipped to the Nagoya market. It seems that 2011, the first year, was a year of trial and error. Although there are cultivation guidelines, there are some things that cannot be understood only with letters and photographs, so it seems that there were many things to learn while cultivating. For example, if the position to cut off the top flower buds is too high, many side branches will come out, but each one will become thin, and if it is too low, the number of times the side branches will be harvested will decrease. The method of cutting the top flower buds, which greatly affects the harvest of the side branches, seems to be one of the issues to be examined. In addition, it seems that the shipping preparation work, which is the most difficult work for producers, was also an issue. Aletta grows quickly from March to April when the temperature begins to rise, and it seems that harvesting work will be concentrated during this time, and shipping preparation work will be overwhelmed. The harvest time recommended by JA is after 16:00, and the collection will be the next morning, but if the harvest is done in the evening and the preparation work is done, it seems that the work may be overwhelmed until midnight. In order to reduce the work of producers, it seems that they are conducting a trial of bulk shipping that can omit bagging work, but it seems that they were considering changing the harvest time in the future. In addition to this, it seems that various discoveries were made through cultivation. Aletta is a vegetable that is a mixture of broccoli and kale (a vegetable used as a raw material for green juice), and was registered as a variety in March 2011. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration website, the types of agriculture, forestry and fisheries plants, Brassica oleracea L. convar. Botrytis (L.) Alef. Var. Cymosa Duch. X Brassica oleracea L. var. Sabellica L. (Broccoli variant x Kale, Saverica variant) Name of registered variety: Aletta, name of variety at the time of publication of application Application number 21692, date of application 2007/11/16, date of publication of application 2008/03/04, registration number 20556, Date of registration 2011/03/15, Duration of breeder rights 25 years, Date of extinction of breeder rights Name and address of variety registrant, Mr. Atsushi Higashimura (Shimoroku, Sabaura Town, Yatomi City, Aichi) Breeding of registered varieties Name of the person who did it, Mr. Yusuke Higashimura, Outline of the characteristics of the plant of the registered variety: Leaf color is dark green, Yes axis color is medium purple, grass height is medium, stem thickness is thick, stem length is Medium, side branch development is medium, total number of leaves is extremely large, leaf length is slightly long, leaf width is wide, leaf shape is obovate, leaf tip shape is round, leaf curve is flat, leaf edge There are few waviness, few notches on the leaf edge, leaf color is dark green, leaf pigment is light, waxiness is medium, the shape of the flower sphere is round, the unevenness of the flower sphere is medium, the weight of the flower sphere is small, The diameter of the flower bud is extremely small, the height of the flower sphere is medium, the basic color of the flower sphere is green, the division of the flower sphere green is green, the size of the flower bud is medium, the occurrence of leafy is small, and the flower The length of the leprosy stalk is quite short, the thickness of the flower stalk is quite thin, the color of the flower stalk is light green, the greenness of the cross section of the inner stem of the flower stalk is light green, the occurrence of side branch flower stalks is high, and the harvest. The period is extremely late. The application cultivar “Aletta” is distinguished from the control cultivar “Stick Senor” by the fact that the color of the hypocotyl is medium purple and the harvest time is extremely late. Compared to the control variety “Green Voice”, the color of the hypocotyl is medium purple, and the harvest time is extremely late, which makes it distinctive. It is also classified as rapeseed, and although it looks like broccolini stalks, it can eat all the leaves and buds of stalks. Some people may think that it is a bittersweet vegetable that inherits the kale gene, but Aletta is less bitter when eaten raw, and the stems are sweet. In addition, the buds contain about three times as much carotene and vitamin K as broccoli, and have been popular since they were released as vegetables that are good for the body. As of 2018, it is a production center of Matsusaka beef that is widely recognized as a brand beef, and there seems to be a pig farming management that is trying to build a brand as Tamaki pig. In addition, there are dairy associations that have milk plants in the adjacent area, although they are outside the jurisdiction, so it seems that the farming is well-balanced as a whole. In the policy issue of improving the self-sufficiency rate of pure domestic feed, the fact that the cultivating sector and the dairy / livestock sector are in the jurisdiction and adjacent areas seems to be advantageous from the viewpoint of grasping feed demand and reducing distribution costs. As a result of the transfer of rice for feed in JA Ise jurisdiction, it seems that rice was cultivated on 29,000 hectares, which is 65% of the 45,000 hectares. Of these, rice for main food and rice and deceased rice accounted for 26,900 hectares (excluding deep digging of 1,400 hectares), accounting for more than 90%, but the planted area of newly demanded rice, mainly feed rice, was 1800. It seems that it had reached hectares (6.2% of the rice cultivation area). When feed crops and rice WCS (rice fermented roughage) are added to this, it becomes about 2100 hectares, and it seems that about 4.7% of the entire paddy field was used for feed production. It seems that it has occupied more than 6% of the rice cultivation area in just eight years since the subsidy for new demand rice was fully implemented. For rice farming, it seems that the future task was to secure consumers for stable feed rice production, how to increase the ratio in the situation where the demand for main food rice cannot be expected to increase due to the declining population and aging population. Agricultural income per house of paddy field cultivation in Mie Prefecture is significantly lower than the national average, and since paddy field cultivation is carried out by small-scale part-time farmers, the next issue is who will be responsible for future feed rice production. Seems to be mentioned. Regarding the transition of rice collection, it seems that the subsidy for new demand rice began in earnest in 2008, and the production of feed rice has also been carried out within the JA Ise jurisdiction. However, the ratio is small, 2504 bales equivalent to 4.0% of the total collected amount in 2011, and the price of main food rice produced in 2011 and 2012 increased due to the impact of the 3.11 Great East Japan Earthquake, so in 2013 There was no production of rice for feed, and it seems that the production in 2014 was very small. However, it seems that it has changed significantly from the 2015 production. The reason for this is not only that the price of rice for main food produced in West Japan, which had been rising due to the earthquake, fell below the pre-earthquake level in 2014, but also that the direct payment subsidy for rice was reduced to 7,500 yen from 2014. It seems. The price of rice for main food was on the rise due to the nationwide conversion to feed rice and the elimination of over-planting of rice for main food. It seems that rice production for feed was selected from the viewpoint of stable rice cultivation management because it can receive 80,000 yen and small rice can be added to the shipment amount. As a result, the ratio of feed rice to the total amount collected was 14.8% (11,309 bales) produced in 2016, 3.7 times the ratio and 4.5 times the quantity produced in 2011. Regarding this change, it seems that there was an effort within the JA Ise jurisdiction. Specifically, it seems that three of the collection facilities that had been dispersed in the jurisdiction were integrated and a new country elevator was installed. As a result, daily collection during the harvest season has become possible, and the burden of storage until collection in rice farming has been greatly reduced. Omitted below. The production of rice for feed within the JA Ise jurisdiction was triggered by the issuance of a direct payment subsidy for the utilization of paddy fields, but JA Ise’s efforts to expand production were triggered by the construction of a new country elevator.  However, it seems that rice production for feed is becoming indispensable for stable rice cultivation, as it has reached nearly 15% of JA Ise’s collection volume in just two years after the new country elevator was installed. In addition, the top 10 producers in the jurisdiction account for 78.0% of the collected amount. Since the bearer is also an ambitious producer who is trying to expand the scale, it seems that the efforts at JA Ise are steadily producing results from the intention of the policy. However, since the promotion of full-scale feed rice production has just begun, it seems that it has not expanded to the promotion of farming cooperation centered on feed rice. It seems that some rice farming businesses in the jurisdiction are trying to secure stable demand and save distribution costs through farming cooperation centered on feed rice or rice WCS. Not only Matsusaka beef fattening management but also pig farming management (Tamaki pig) exists in the jurisdiction. Since all of them have been established as brands, it is a big challenge to change the composition design of feed, which is one of the factors that determine the quality. There is no doubt that it will be the key to maintaining and improving the food self-sufficiency rate and food supply capacity in the future. This is because for rice farming, feed rice production that is not affected by fluctuations in the price of main food rice can be procured at a stable price for dairy and livestock farming. There is no doubt that it is expected that the potential can be pursued because it is a regional agriculture with a well-balanced cultivation. In late December 2019, the harvest of Meyer lemons reached its peak in the jurisdiction of JA Ise Mie Nanki district, and the peak of shipment was reached at the JA unified citrus fruit sorting plant in Mihama Town. Growth in 2018 was worried that the rate of excellent products would decline due to abnormal weather such as repeated typhoons and lack of sunshine due to the long rainy season, but it seems that the finish was also good. Meyer lemons handled by JA have been cultivated for about 20 years, and since the cost of animal damage control can be kept low compared to other citrus fruits, the motivation of producers to cultivate them has improved and attracted attention. Meyer lemon has a lot of fruit juice, is rich, and has a mild taste and a refreshing aroma. Taking advantage of these characteristics, the Chu-Hi “Iseji Meyer Lemon Craft Chu-Hi” and “Golden Meyer Lemonade” jointly developed by JA and Takara Sake Brewery have been sold since 2018, which seems to have led to an increase in the production motivation of growers. In recent years, consumers have become more health conscious, and attention has been paid to safe and secure domestic lemons, and demand for processing has also increased. The fruit sorting at the fruit sorting plant will continue until mid-January, and it seems that it is expected to be shipped to markets in the prefecture, Chukyo, Kansai, and Kanto areas, and about 80 tons will be shipped. In 2021 of the previous year, “Nice Stick” using Meyer Lemon from Mie Prefecture is on sale from YAMAZAKI BAKING CO., LTD. (Headquarters location: Iwamotocho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo). “White Nice Stick Lemon Jam & Lemon Cream” is a sandwich of jam and cream made from Meyer lemon juice from Mie prefecture on a moist white dough bread. The refreshing and refreshing taste was a product suitable for summer. It was sold at supermarkets in the Tokai / Hokuriku area (Aichi, Gifu, Mie, Fukui, Ishikawa, Toyama prefectures and Shizuoka, Nagano prefectures) until the end of September. Meyer lemon is said to be a hybrid of orange and lemon, and has a low acidity, a mellow taste and a good aroma. I heard that it is suitable for cooking and processing because the skin is thin and there is a lot of fruit juice. Production in Japan is still low, and the JA Ise Mie Nanki district (Kumano City, Mihama Town, Kihoku Town) is one of the leading production areas in Japan. Now, let’s get into the introduction of this product. In 1940, the deceased Yuji Kikuchi of Hachijojima introduced it from Tinian Island in the Northern Mariana Islands of the Federated States of Micronesia to Hachijojima. After that, seedlings taken from the original forest grown on Hachijojima were brought to Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands in 1973. Returned to Japan from the US occupation after World War II. The distance from the Ogasawara Islands to Tinian is about 1400 km, and Guam is nearby. Kikuchi Lemon (Saipan Lemon) is an evergreen tree of the Rutaceae family. It seems to be a sport of Meyer lemon found in China. It seems that the mother species, Meyer lemon, was born from a natural cross between lemon and sweet orange. Therefore, the impression is that there is little acidity. The altitude of the tree is about 1 to 3 m. Compared to ordinary lemons, the acidity of the flesh is mild and the skin is not very thick, and when matured on the tree, the skin is not very thick and there is no bitterness. Also, because it is sweet, it is said that the peel is used for every meal on Hachijojima. The fruits are somewhat smaller than regular lemons, but rounded. When sweetened, it becomes orange. The impression that Yap Lemon (Kikuchi Lemon, Saipan Lemon) has fewer seeds and lighter skin and flesh than Meyer Lemon. We must not forget how this variety came to this day. Thanks to Frans Nicholass Meijer (1875-1918), a Dutch plant hunter employed by the US Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. It seems that the name is also associated with him. “Mie Nanki Mikan” : Considering the evaluation points when certifying the Ise Agricultural Cooperative (formerly Mie Nanki Agricultural Cooperative at the time of certification) as a certified business operator, Mie Brand certification of “Mikan” by other business operators in the future Pay particular attention to the following points. We are working on the production of high quality mandarin oranges based on unified cultivation standards and selection standards. When accrediting a producer group, etc., it is possible to identify the producer, there is a strong connection to production guidance and quality control to the producer, and the responsibility of the supplier is clear. It is mentioned that efforts are being made in production, distribution, and sales in order to demonstrate its superiority and uniqueness over oranges produced in other prefectures. In addition, with the strong guidance of agricultural cooperatives and the activities of the producers’ subcommittee, each producer will utilize organic fertilizers, reduce herbicides, record cultivation history for each field, and the association will publish the control history on its website. We are working on production that is safe, secure and environmentally friendly. Citrus unshiu: Taking advantage of the characteristics of gravel soil, warm and rainy climate, etc., each fruit produced by multi-cultivation is selected for content quality using a highly accurate non-destructive sugar acidity sensor, and is of a high level. It seems that only those that have cleared the selection criteria of are special products. Furthermore, it seems that it is working to create high-value-added products by differentiating it from other production areas, such as by assessing changes in sugar content and acidity at the national level every year and further tightening the selection criteria. In addition, taking advantage of the characteristics such as the decrease in acidity at an early stage, high-quality Satsuma mandarin is shipped from mid-September earlier than other production areas, and the market evaluation is high, and it seems that it is forming one of the highest prices in Japan. Kara Mandarin, Kara(Dr. H. B. Frost of the University of California, Riverside in the United States bred King Mandarin in 1915 in Wenzhou, Owari, and named and announced it in 1935. It was introduced to Japan by Dr. Chozaburo Tanaka in 1955 as a seed, and then introduced to Japan by Hogi at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Ehime Fruit Tree Experiment Station, etc.): Taking advantage of the warm and rainy climate even in winter, and taking advantage of the characteristic that acid reduction progresses when there is a lot of rain, we have established a cultivation technology for sweet and depleted fruits ahead of other production areas. In addition, in order to cultivate high-quality fruits, we selected gardens based on a suitable site map and triple-packed the fruits, and selected the contents of each fruit using a non-destructive sugar acidity sensor. Shipped as “Nanki oranges (kara)”. Similar to Satsuma mandarin, taking advantage of its characteristics such as the decrease in acidity at an early stage, the color is shipped earlier than other production areas, forming the highest unit price in Japan. We are working on branding the entire “Nanki oranges” and contributing to the promotion of the entire Mie Nanki region as a “production center where oranges can be harvested throughout the year”.

Producers say that after harvesting, they are focusing on controlling pests, such as spraying chemicals on sprouts and leaves in order to leave the mature shoots of the following year. In addition, in order to maintain the vigor of the trees in the summer, thorough management is carried out so that fertilizer does not run out. We also pay attention to the selection work so that the fruits are not damaged. It is said that when you harvest a lemon that looks beautiful, you will naturally smile. The characteristic of Meyer lemon, which is a specialty of this region, is that it is quick to color and has a rich and mild texture.

NANKI, the southernmost point of Mie Prefecture (Kumano City, Mihama Town, Kiho Town (also as a bed town to Shingu City, there are two TV relay stations, Kiho Narukawa TV relay station and Kiho Konouchi TV relay station, including Mie TV broadcasting. , CBC TV, Tokai TV Broadcasting, Nagoya TV Broadcasting, Chukyo TV Broadcasting are used in service)) faces Kumano Nada and is blessed with a warm climate where it rarely snows even in winter. It’s a production area. The bright south-facing slopes and the warm breeze carried by the Kuroshio are comfortable. Nanki mandarin oranges cultivated in such a local climate are deeply colored and have a rich taste with a harmony of sweetness and acidity, and are popular with fans. In addition, due to the climate such as warm and heavy rainfall, it is a region suitable for cultivating mandarin oranges that can be shipped early, and taking advantage of its characteristics such as the decrease in acidity at an early stage, it is shipped earlier than other production areas and is the highest level in Japan. It forms a unit price. Producers’ efforts such as reducing herbicides, utilizing organic fertilizers, and opening the control history to the public on the homepage are the reason why we can add peace of mind to our proud taste.

In 2020, JA will open a free employment agency and conduct cultivation training at its subsidiary Orange Agri Co., Ltd. to solve the labor shortage for harvesting “Mie Nanki oranges” which is becoming more serious due to aging and lack of successors. We are providing support for new farming, but the current situation is that we are not catching up. Participating in Kogakkan University, Kogakkan University, Ise City (April 30, 1882, Prince Kuninomiya Asahiko (NARINORI) issued a letter, and the Ministry of Interior finally approved the installation on May 26, 1883. It was after 1885 that the students were recruited and started full-scale educational activities.) The students said, “It’s hard even for young people, so it’s even harder for aging producers. The power of the students helps. I’m participating because I wish I could be, “he said at the time. Producers who have accepted the activity are in areas where labor shortages are serious, and such efforts are appreciated. I want students to come as part-time jobs. Also, through the experience, he hoped that agriculture would become one of the student’s future options. I hope that the current corona sickness will be improved soon and I will return to my previous life.

RCC Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (Headquartered in Naka Ward, Hiroshima City, a specific terrestrial backbone broadcasting company that also operates a latte with Hiroshima Prefecture as the broadcasting target area) on March 4, 2022 I want you to finish. This child was born in Japan and she has never seen her grandma. If the war is over early, I’ll go to Ukraine with my children to see my grandmas. I want peace. For that reason, a Ukrainian woman living in Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, complained in front of the Atomic Bomb Dome (Ote Town, Naka Ward, Hiroshima City). Her parents seem to live in Cherkasy in central Ukraine. The big battle has not been confirmed yet, but when the air raid warning sounds, it seems that the days of hiding in the basement of the house continue. Hiroshima Fruit Agricultural Cooperative Association (nicknamed JA Hiroshima Fruit Federation: Headquarters location, Chukai Nakamachi, Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Cardboard Factory, Chukai Tokuura, Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Tokyo Branch, Tokai, Ota Ward, Tokyo, Ota Market Ninienrennai, Osaka Branch, Noda, Fukushima Ward, Osaka City, 12th floor of Osaka Central Wholesale Market Business Administration Building, Nichienrennai, Hiroshima Branch, Kusatsu Port, Nishi Ward, Hiroshima City, Central Wholesale Market, Hiroshima City) After being established as the Federation of Sales Agricultural Cooperatives, the name was changed to the current name in 1956. The business content has also changed from a sales-centered federation to a federation that provides guidance in both production and sales, and it seems that it has played a leading role in fruit tree producing areas in the prefecture together with the member unions to this day. In 1964, the association reorganized from a non-investment federation to an investment federation and established a directly managed cardboard factory in order to smoothly carry out integrated business with members based on union members. It seems that they tried to unify the shipping standards by supplying shipping containers that were switched from boxes to cardboard. Then, in 1966, a freezing factory (food department) was established in response to the rapid increase in mandarin orange production, and in 1972, the factory was separated as Hiroshima Corp., and it seems that it is processing food as a cooperative company. Recently, the environment surrounding distribution and consumption has changed drastically, and the wave of internationalization is rushing in, forcing us to respond to the production and distribution of fruits and vegetables that can be sold in production areas. The association will continue to play an active role by making the best use of its function as a professional association to deal with these situations. JA Mihara covers Mihara City (excluding Daiwa Town), Takehara City, and Setoda Town, Onomichi City. It seems that agricultural and livestock products that take advantage of the unique climate are being produced. The JA jurisdiction is blessed with a warm climate in Setoda, and it grows from lemons centered on Setoda Town and Allium × proliferum (Allium wakegi: bulbs) that have been cultivated since the beginning of the Meiji era. It is said to be a hybrid of allium, and the root part swells like a bulb, scallions increase, and seeds cannot be produced. Also, I heard that Odo City has the largest shipment volume in Japan in Japan. Cultivation seems to have started from the beginning of the year. In the Kansai region, it seems that there is a habit of eating Wakegi, which grows by splitting, at Doll’s Festival as a lucky charm for the prosperity of descendants.) Boasts the highest production in Japan. It seems that they are working on a wide range of production promotion from rice to citrus fruits and vegetables. From the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration website, application number, 13718, application date, 2001/08/10, application publication date, 2002/02/13, registration number 12069, registration date 2004/06/04 , 25 years of breeder’s right, extinction date of breeder’s right Name and address of breeder’s registrant, National Research and Development Corporation Agriculture and Food Industry Technology Research Organization (Kannondai, Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture): Raising registered varieties Name of the person who did it, Mr. Toshio Yoshida, Mr. Hirohisa Nekaku, Mr. Terutaka Yoshioka, Mrs. Mutsuko Nonomura, Mr. Yuji Ito, Mr. Shoji Murase, Mr. Fumitaka Takishita, No designated country for export. This variety was cultivated by crossing “Wase Miyagawa” with “E-647” (“Kiyomi” × “Oseora”). It is a citrus fruit that matures in early December in the orange growing area (Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture). The shape of the tree is medium, the size of the tree is a little small, and the tree vigor is medium. The thickness of the shoots is thick, the internode length is medium, and the thorns of the shoots are many. The shape of the leaf blade is spindle-shaped, the degree of wavyness is a little weak, the size is small, the leaf height is medium, the leaf blade width is narrow, and the sharpness of the net vein is a little clear. The shape of the wing leaf is trace, and the length and thickness of the petiole are medium. The formation of inflorescences is solitary, the weight of flowers (flower buds) is light, the shape of petals is spindle-shaped, the length is short, the width is wide, the color is white, the number is 5, the degree of separation of pollen is separated, There is no pollen. Fruit shape is oblate, fruit shape index is slightly large, fruit top shape is flat, presence or absence of radial groove is not clear, presence or absence of concave ring is unclear, fruit stem shape is tangent plane, some radial groove Is inside. The fruit is empty, the size is large, the weight of the fruit is a little heavy, the color of the pericarp is orange, the size of the oil vesicles is medium, the density is dense, the unevenness is concave, and the rough surface of the fruit is a little rough. The slip, the thickness of the pericarp and the percentage of the pericarp are medium, and the difficulty of peeling is easy. The hardness of the sac is soft, the shape of the sac is short, the size is medium, and the color is orange. The juice is slightly high, the sweetness is low, the acidity is low, the aroma is medium, the number of seeds is small, and the number of embryos is single embryo. The germination period is a little late, the flowering period is a little early, the maturity period is quite early, and it is early December in the growing area. Biennial bearing is medium, the occurrence of floating fruit is small, the occurrence of cracking is absent, and the storability is short. Compared to “Kiyomi Orange”, the fruit is empty and the peeling is easy. Compared to “Oseora Orange”, the fruit is heavier and the color of the peel is orange. It is said that distinction is recognized by such. A strain grown by NARO in 1990 at the Fruit Tree Experiment Station Okitsu Branch (currently Citrus Club Okitsu) by crossing “Wase Miyagawa” with E-647. In 1992, he was in high contact with Satsuma mandarin, and in 1995, he first set fruit and was selected for the first time. Since April 1996, the 8th citrus line adaptability / characteristic test has been conducted, and it seems that an agreement has been reached that it is suitable as a new variety candidate. The fruits are oblate and average 180g inside and outside. The pericarp is orange, 4 mm thick inside and outside, and although it is a little thick as a mandarin orange type, it is soft and it seems that peeling is easy. The fruit is a little smooth and he seems to be fully colored from early to mid December. Floating skin rarely occurs. The flesh is orange and relatively soft, and the amount of juice seems to be a little large. The membrane is relatively thin and soft, so it is easy to eat. The sugar content of the fruit juice is relatively low at 10% inside and outside, but the acid reduction is quick, and it has an orange-like flavor and the taste is good. The maturity period is early December throughout the year, and it is usually as early as Wenzhou, and can be harvested and shipped within the year. Since the anthers are degenerated and there is no pollen, it seems that they will be non-nucleated unless pollen of other varieties is applied. The tree vigor is moderate, and the appearance of the tree is between upright and open. The shoots are thick, short and dense. There are many thorns, but they are getting shorter, and it seems that they will not grow if the tree vigor settles down. It has good fruiting and is fairly strong against Elsinoë fawcettii Bitancourt et Jenkins(The first onset of spring leaves seems to be accelerated from the germination stage to mid-April when there is a lot of rainfall and the low temperature continues due to lack of sunshine. The amount of occurrence is the correlation with the number of rainy days from the time of germination of the citrus to April 15th, the amount of rainfall and the sunshine time, and the average temperature from April 1st to 20th or the average temperature from April 1st to 20th. , There seems to be a correlation with precipitation. It seems that the onset of illness increases when there is rainfall (which occurs frequently when there is a lot of rain) and then the humid conditions continue for 12 to 15 hours or more. It seems that it overwinters with lesions on old leaves and is transmitted from the germination stage to every rainfall. It occurs frequently when the temperature is low and the number of rainfalls is high. Spring leaf lesions seem to be an important source of fruit transmission. Since a large amount of spores are formed on the lesions of spring leaves, it seems that they often occur in fruits even if they occur less in spring leaves. The sensitivity of the fruit is highest after the valve is dropped, and it becomes less likely to develop the disease as it grows larger. It seems that it occurs frequently in humid gardens such as dense plantations and valleys.), but appears to be somewhat susceptible to Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri.(Due to bacterial diseases, there are few effective drugs, and control using drugs is not sufficient, so we thoroughly implement windbreak measures and remove transmission sources. It seems that it is essential to maintain windbreak fences and windbreak nets in windy gardens. Thorough pruning of diseased branches and leaves during pruning. For summer and autumn treetops, citrus leaf miner: Phyllocnistis citrella (Stainton) (body length about 3 mm, body covered with silvery white scales. Eggs should be laid (egg diameter 0.3 mm) along the veins of undeveloped leaves. However, it seems that it lays eggs on fruits very rarely. It seems that the damage is great on young and young trees because adult worms lay eggs on new leaves and larvae prefer to eat the mesophyll of new leaves. The affected leaves atrophy and become malformed, which seems to adversely affect the growth of the tree. Damage to summer leaves causes disease. It seems that the number of occurrences per year is thought to be 8 to 10 times in warm regions. Is the growing season of summer and autumn treetops, and it seems that the more summer and autumn treetops occur, the greater the amount.) Thoroughly remove the diseased branches and remove the diseased branches. It is essential not to let the spring leaves develop the disease in order to prevent the onset of fruit, and it is thoroughly sprayed from 1 month before germination to the end of the spring leaf exhibition. It is too late to spray after the fruit becomes ill. The residual effect period of the drug is about 30 days for Bordeaux mixture (cumulative rainfall of 200 mm) and about 20 days for copper wettable powder (150 mm). If a typhoon is expected to hit, spraying after the hit is less effective, so spray 2 to 7 days before the hit. In the new plantation, we do not bring in diseased seedlings and thoroughly exterminate them.)Occurrence of system pitting due to citrus tristeza virus is mild. The fruits are tasty and easy to eat, but the sugar content of the juice is relatively low and the taste tends to be pale, so it seems to be suitable for cultivation in areas where there is little rainfall in the fall in the citrus growing area. Cultivation in places where soil moisture tends to increase, such as paddy field conversion gardens, should be avoided as much as possible. Cultivation is said to be good under conditions that control soil moisture in the summer and autumn and put moisture stress on the trees. Onomichi has a good natural harbor.

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.Producers encourage special agricultural products of lime(Citrus aurantiifolia (Christm.) Swingle). As a travel pesticide targeted for saving, it decreased by 80% here. Chemical fertilizer (Nitrogen component) also decreased by 80% compared to the local area. The jurisdiction is the West Kyushu Production Association (Citrus Subcommittee). In the greenhouse, water management and nutrient management are thoroughly carried out, and it is carefully calculated so that it will be tasty. On May 26, 2020, JA Mihara of Hiroshima Prefecture signed an agreement with JR West Okayama Branch to promote the area of Setoda Town, Onomichi City. The signing ceremony was held in the lemon field of the town, and the JA’s Mr. Tsunemasa Nishihara(at that time) and JR West’s Mr. Yasuhiro Arita(at that time)Okayama branch president signed the agreement. Recruitment from October 25, 2021. Onomichi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, with local people) operates a matching site “Onomichi” that creates a population related to the region by taking advantage of seasonal and short-term labor shortages in the region. The concept that we think that we want to visit the area over and over again because we like the people in the area because we meet each other will increase the value of our experience). In collaboration with the project, by matching “citrus farmers suffering from labor shortages during the busy farming season”, “guesthouses during the off-season of tourism” and “young people who are interested in the region and agriculture” in the Setoda area of Onomichi City, agriculture and tourism It seems that they are working on a model that solves the regional issues of both sides.

Wase-based midpoint late-ripening citrus (e.g. pomelo) shipped for Year-end gifts and year-end demand. Recently, it is called the Marudori method (a technology that combines a “mulch coating” that covers a mandarin orange garden with a sheet and a drip can drip that gives liquid fertilizer to the soil little by little like a drip). The technology to lay a sheet and drain the water during the summer to make delicious fruits has been developed, and HAREHIME oranges with a sugar content of 13% or more is available for purchase. The name comes from “Harehime,” which becomes a sweet and fragrant fruit as the sunny weather continues from summer to autumn.

It seems that Hiroshima Prefecture has created its own mandarin orange cultivation calendar and mandarin orange control calendar, and is providing guidance to producers. We collect, sort, and ship at 7 fruit sorting plants in JA in the prefecture. In order to prevent product loss such as spoilage, it seems that JA / technicians are holding a handling briefing session. The climate of the Seto Inland Sea, which is warm and has little rain, is suitable for mandarin orange cultivation, and is widespread mainly in the coastal areas of Hiroshima Prefecture and minor islands. The sales period is about half a year from October to March every year, and it seems that it can be handled by a variety relay.

The fruits are tasty and easy to eat, but the sugar content of the juice is relatively low and the taste tends to be pale, so it seems to be suitable for cultivation in areas where there is little rainfall in the fall in the citrus growing area. I heard that it is better to avoid cultivation in places where soil moisture tends to increase, such as paddy field conversion gardens. It seems desirable to cultivate under conditions that control soil moisture in the summer and autumn and put moisture stress on the trees.
