【Major features】
Mr. Sakaguchi, the representative of the corporation, said in an interview that he finds it rewarding when his efforts show up as a result. The date of establishment of Bright Red Tomato Studio Co., Ltd. was October 2006, the number of employees, 6 + 3 parts, 9 people in total, future goals, training of human beings to follow, and then expansion and strength. Now, let me briefly introduce Sanuki City, where the representative company is located. Sanuki City was established on April 1, 2002 by merging the five towns of Tsuda Town, Okawa Town, Shido Town, Sangawa Town and Nagao Town in Okawa District, Kagawa Prefecture. The area is 158.63 km2. It is located about 15 km east of Takamatsu City, where the Kagawa Prefectural Government is located. It borders Higashikagawa City in the east, Takamatsu City and Miki Town in Kita District in the west, Gomyo in Higashikagawa City and Mima City in Tokushima Prefecture in the south, and Kozushima across the Seto Inland Sea in the north. From the Sanuki Mountains in the south, the Tsuda River flows northeast to Tsuda Bay, and the Kabe River flows to Kamosho Bay. Most of Sanuki City seems to be the basin of these two rivers. The northern part faces the Seto Inland Sea, and is a coastline with alternating rocky and gravel beaches on a small cape / peninsula and sandy beaches. It is said that the townscape of Tsuda and Shido has been formed on the beach ridge for a long time and has prospered as a port town. Tsuda coast of beautiful stretch of sandy beach dotted with pine trees seems to have been selected as one of the “100 best beaches in Japan” in Setonaikai National Park. In 1915, his 9.5 ha centered on Matsubara was designated as Prefectural Kotobayashi Park. In addition, the coast of Shido Bay has been reclaimed and has become an urban area and an industrial complex. In the central part, a plain connected to the Takamatsu Plain in the west spreads out, and large and small reservoirs form a beautiful rural landscape. The southern part is the mountainous area of the Sanuki Mountains, which is rich in nature. In the city, the Kamobe / Minamiya ruins as the remains of the Jomon period, the Kamobe / Kawada ruins as the moated settlement ruins in the early Yayoi period, the Tsuda / Kitayama ruins as the middle highland villages, and the Ishida Higashi of the late pit-type dwellings. The Morihiro ruins are known. There are burial mounds in various parts of the city, and the Tomita Naka and Tomita Chausan burial mounds are 163 m long and are the largest front-rear burial mounds in Shikoku, and are said to be nationally designated historic sites. From around the 8th century until Okawa District was established by the 1899 Shimogori Abolition Law, it seems that it was mostly the area of Sangawa District, Sanuki Province. In the ancient statute nation, there are counties under the country and towns under the counties as local administrative units, and Samukawa district has Namba town, Ishida town, Nagao town, Zukuda town, Kamobe town, Kanzaki town and Tawa town. It seems that there was a 7 Township. It seems that some of these Township names became the names of the towns and villages later. Also, when the whole country was divided into seven Kinai roads, it seems that the four countries of Shikoku belonged to the Nankaido along with Awaji and Kii. In addition, it is said that the Nankaido was established as a road connecting each country and Kinai. In the city area, the Nagao Highway from Tazura Pass to Takamatsu City is almost the route, and it seems that the station was located in Tazura or Tomita Naka. Agriculture, which is an industrial aspect, is said to be a complex management that combines paddy rice, vegetables, fruit trees, and livestock. The main ones seem to be strawberries, onions, cucumbers, cabbage, grapes and flowers. In recent years, high-value-added agriculture such as organic pesticide-reduced cultivation, contract cultivation with Okawa Agricultural Processing Complex, and introduction of Jersey cattle seems to be flourishing. I heard that the fishing industry is cultivated such as yellowtail, Thailand, amberjack, oysters, and seaweed. In terms of commerce and services, the convenience of consumers has improved due to the expansion of suburban mass retailers, but the traditional shopping streets are lacking in vitality, and it seems that commercial restructuring has become an issue. In addition, it seems that the temples at No. 86 to No. 88 of the Shikoku Pilgrimage and 6 public hot springs are bustling with visitors. Although it is an industry, there are seaside industrial parks and inland industrial parks in the Shido（section of village）district, and agricultural processing factory parks in the Nagao district, which seems to contribute to the revitalization of the local economy and the creation of employment. Also, in March 2001, the Takamatsu Higashi Factory Park, an inland industrial park by Kagawa Prefecture, was completed in the Nagao area, and it seems that companies are being attracted. As a major company, there are factories for general machinery such as cranes, rubber products, frozen foods, and clothing manufacturing. The future image of the town is “Furusato; Hometown Sanuki, where everyone lives comfortably with abundant nature and lively smiles.” While cherishing the abundant nature such as the beautiful and calm Seto Inland Sea and the Sanuki Mountains full of greenery, it is a lively town where industry and tourism are thriving and a place to work is secured. The aims. It seems that they love Sanuki City, which is blessed with history and traditional culture, and are proud to support each other and build a city where everyone can live happily together. Agricultural product processing and sales information: Sangawa Yasai（Vegetables）Village, Date, Every Sunday, Holding time, Morning (around 8 o’clock), Place The Big Sangawa store (Sangawa City Ishida Toko), Organizer, Sangawa Yasai（Vegetables）Village Steering Committee, Items handled: In spring, strawberries, asparagus, bamboo shoots, Japanese mustard spinach, spinach, wasabi; Japanese horseradish. In summer, grapes, watermelons, cucumbers, potatoes, onions, eggplants and green onions. In autumn, persimmons, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, figs. In winter, radishes, Chinese cabbage, carrots, lettuce, and sesame seeds. Year-round, cut flowers, eggs, pickles, etc. 6 minutes by car from JR Kanzaki Station, 2 minutes by car from “Sanuki Municipal Hospital” on the Okawa Bus Hiketa Line. RR, but it seems that freshly picked vegetables in season are popular because the vegetables made by local farmers with great care are harvested early in the morning. In addition, it seems that it is also sold in the store mainly at The Big Sangawa store. It is a certain fact that Japan’s vegetable cultivation management has reached a major turning point. Since the latter half of the 1980s, many vegetable-producing areas formed during the high economic growth period have been experiencing a gradual decline in producers and an aging population. For this reason, it seems that efforts have been made to maintain the production area, such as raising seedlings, externalizing post-harvest work, and mechanizing field work. However, in recent years, it seems that this alone is not enough. In response to the further decline in production, the formation of new bearers is required. It is also necessary for the vegetable growing department to change the way the inheritance system should be based on family business, which is to secure the next farmer from among the farmers’ children. In Kagawa Prefecture, employment-type large-scale vegetable cultivation is rapidly increasing. It seems that the efforts of the Farmers Cooperative, which was formed by driving these movements, are systematic activities that integrate the training of trainees aiming for new farming and the acceptance of foreign technical intern trainees. The group’s activities aim to foster young farmers aiming for new farming, but in order to strengthen these efforts, more than 50 farmers including the group formed the Farmers Cooperative. Seems to be. I hear that this union is integrated with the training of trainees aiming for new farming and the acceptance of foreign technical intern trainees. Development of employment-type vegetable cultivation management in cooperation with the training system in Kagawa Prefecture: It seems that the open-field vegetable cultivation management in Japan has not been developed in many large-scale planting management except for Hokkaido for a long time. However, since 2000, the vegetable acreage has continued to decrease in prefectures as a whole, and it seems that the proportion of large-scale management with a planted area of more than 2 hectares is gradually increasing. Statistics show that the proportion of planted areas of 2 hectares or more in prefectures is expanding from 34% in 2000 to 49% in 2015 (26% for 5 hectares or more). Kagawa Prefecture has traditionally been characterized by an agricultural structure in which small-scale paddy field management occupies the majority. It seems to be 83% (71%). Under such circumstances, due to the warm weather conditions in winter, specialized agricultural management has aimed to produce vegetables such as lettuce, broccoli, and green onions, including paddy field back crops, but the area of vegetable planting per household (2000) is, Kagawa prefecture has 34 ares compared to 46 ares in prefectures, which seems to be narrow compared to the prefecture average. However, in Kagawa, the proportion of acreage occupied by 2 hectares or more seems to have increased from 11% in 2000 to 40% in 2015 (29% for 5 hectares or more, which exceeds the average value of prefectures). In the past, the formation of large-scale planting management was weak, but since 2010, such movements have changed, and it seems that the movement to form large-scale management is now active. At the same time, I heard that the total acreage, which had been on a downward trend until then, is also showing signs of increasing. Although the number of businesses over 5 hectares is small, the ratio of corporate management is high. Looking only at the number of corporations and the acreage planted by corporate management, it is comparable to the other three prefectures. Rather, large-scale corporate vegetable cultivation is being developed in Kagawa Prefecture, where the number of farmers and the area of cultivated land are small. The vegetable planting area per management entity is as large as 13 hectares. Regarding managed cultivated land, most of the other three prefectures are paddy fields, while in Kagawa prefecture they are mainly fields. This seems to suggest that the method of using paddy fields has changed significantly in Kagawa over vegetable cultivation. Of the 60 management bodies in the prefecture, 54 management bodies are leasing paddy fields, and the leased land area seems to have reached 500 hectares. As much as 9.3 hectares of paddy land is leased per management entity, which seems to be the main factor in the increase in large-scale vegetable cultivation management. Therefore, a large-scale paddy field leased land accumulation by vegetable management has been realized. In addition, the amount of labor input is large. In Kagawa, there are many managers and executives who have been engaged in agriculture for more than 150 days, but it seems that the scale of employment is also large. Since the area of vegetable planting per management entity is large, the amount of labor input will be large, but even if it is discounted, the number of managers and officers who have been farming for 150 days or more in Kagawa Prefecture is 2.8, and the total number of employees is 1921. Of the daily employment, the number of permanent employees employed on a yearly basis is 7.3, and it seems that the input amount is about twice that of the other three prefectures. At the same time, it seems that the distinctive feature of having a large number of young people among the permanent employees can be pointed out. The number of permanent employees under the age of 35 per management entity is 4.9 in Kagawa Prefecture. In this way, it can be said that Kagawa’s large-scale vegetable management is in an environment where abundant young people can put in labor. The number of new farmers in Kagawa (total for all agricultural sectors) seems to be on the rise. Of particular note is the increase in employment farming (employed by corporate management, etc.), which was rare until 2007. And it seems that most of the employment and farming is done by young people under the age of 40. It seems that the representative of the agricultural sector, who is supporting the increase in new farmers, is growing vegetables. ”Makka-na Tomato Kobo Co., Ltd.” is a farm for practicing vegetable cultivation. Cultivated items and cropping scale may fluctuate due to goodwill, changes in the number of workers including trainees, and crop price trends. In addition, it seems that wholesale market shipments by agricultural cooperatives are the basic sales support for these farms. In that respect, it seems that they are responding differently from corporate management, which is oriented toward fixed production and sales, based on contract production. It can be seen that the management method of producing and selling various crops in combination according to the conditions of the time, while leaving the sales correspondence to the agricultural cooperative, is a place to cultivate a sense of management practice for trainees who are aiming for new farming. It seems that the “Farmers Cooperative” was established in 2008 with Mr. Takashi KONDO as the representative director. While accepting new farmers as trainees, the Kondo Farm Group has also hired foreign technical intern trainees to realize large-scale production of leafy vegetables, which has a labor-intensive character as an open-field vegetable cultivation. However, I hear that the Farmers Cooperative was established with the purpose of implementing such efforts more broadly and systematically. The union’s office is said to be set up in the office facility of Kondo Farm Co., Ltd. (Yogita Town, Zentsuji City, Kagawa Prefecture). Farmers Cooperative is a business cooperative based on the Cooperative Law for small and medium-sized enterprises. According to the articles of incorporation of the association, cultivated agriculture, livestock farming, agricultural service industry (excluding horticultural services), livestock food manufacturing or agricultural livestock products / marine products wholesale business with offices in the area (Tokushima prefecture, Kagawa prefecture) Seems to be a member of the union. As of 2018, it seems that there are 56 union members (including unincorporated farmers). The geographical distribution of union members is the largest in the Nakatado district, which includes Zentsuji City, with 23 companies, but it seems that the other five districts together cover the entire prefecture. There are also union members in Tokushima Prefecture, but this seems to have been triggered by the fact that those who wished to start farming at Kondo Farm Co., Ltd.（At that time, the number of foreign technical intern trainees was 3 Cambodians, 4 Laotians, and 1 Filipino. It seems that they are securing employment of this scale by gradually recruiting new human resources while gaining experience during the three-year training period. It seems that trainees from Vietnam will be accepted in the future. For field work, Japanese staff are in charge of work involving machine operations such as tractor tilling, control, and shipping, and foreign technical intern trainees are in charge of manual work such as tunnel / multi-covering, soil gathering, and harvesting / preparation. Seems to be. He owns five tractors (65 horsepower for larger ones) and is equipped with special attachments for mulcher and boom sprayer.）started farming in Tokushima Prefecture by inheriting a third party. Inheritance of agricultural management to a third party is agricultural inheritance by handing over farmland, technology, credit, etc. to new farmers other than family members, but in this case, new farmers who have changed from office workers, It seems that it is possible to practice large-scale management from the beginning. I heard that such management led to the joining of members of the Farmers Cooperative even in Tokushima Prefecture. Similarly, according to the Articles of Incorporation, the following are listed as businesses of the Farmers Cooperative. It seems that there are various things such as joint purchase of agricultural materials, joint acceptance of foreign technical intern trainees, improvement of management / technology, knowledge dissemination education / information provision, welfare programs, free employment introduction, and incidental projects. The cooperative has six staff members, four of whom are foreigners, and they seem to have experience studying abroad in Japan. Since the union accepts foreign technical intern trainees, it is said that it also has personnel support for smooth project implementation. No salary will be generated during the short-term training period, but if you continue to enter the long-term training (one year), you will be paid 170,000 yen or more per month. During the training, depending on the business establishment, it seems that various insurances will be taken out and one day off per week will be given. In addition to field work, the training also includes inspections of agricultural machinery companies, seed companies, wholesale markets, retailers, and other agricultural organizations. It also seems to offer many options for trainees. If the trainee’s wishes do not match the training destination, it seems that corporations other than the union are also introduced. Regarding the choice of farming after training, it seems that both independent farming and employment in corporations are supported. There may be a helping a long-term employee to establish a branch of the same shop in Kagawa prefecture, and I heard that people from outside the prefecture can return to their hometown to start farming. In addition to getting a job as a corporate employee, there are also options for getting a job at a corporation, such as being a corporate officer or being a corporate representative. Furthermore, it is possible to start farming overseas because the union accepts agricultural technical intern trainees from Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Vietnam, etc. and practices farming together when they return to Japan. It seems that they are aiming for. Many varieties of “midi tomatoes” have a high sugar content, and many are cultivated as fruit tomatoes. In addition, there are many varieties with a strong tomato-specific aroma, and there are many varieties that can be used for cooking. The orthodox F1 species, as opposed to the fixed species, refers to seeds that have been cultivated through repeated breeding in order to take advantage of their superior properties for cultivation. It has the characteristic of being easy to grow, but it is usually not the same as its parents even if it is raised by seeding. I heard that it is relatively easy to cultivate because some of them are disease resistant. “Midi tomato”, which is the name of the variety, weighs about 40 g and is likely to be one of the smallest midi tomatoes. Depending on how they are grown, they may produce small fruits, so they may be as large as cherry tomatoes. I think the producer’s “midi tomatoes” introduced this time are a good example. The flesh is thick and you can enjoy the rich taste, so it seems to be different from cherry tomatoes in that respect. I heard that it is disease resistant and easy to grow. Also, when seeds taken from conventional fixed seeds are sown and raised, those with the same characteristics as their parents tend to grow. If the taste of the fixed seeds grown is good, the biggest feature of medium tomatoes is that you can grow the same delicious tomatoes by taking seeds and growing them.

Promotes fat metabolism to strengthen muscle tissue and promote height growth. TCA cycle: Adenosine Triphosphate（C10H16N5O13P3）, It enhances the function of the urea cycle in the liver and promotes the recovery of brain fatigue quickly. Ammonia（NH3）inhibits its function, but ingestion promotes detoxification. Expected to be effective as part of the Natural Moisturizing Factor（NMF）of the stratum corneum.
アラニン（C3H7NO2: 2-Aminopropanoic acid）; It is a synthetic raw material for sugar and has the energy generation function of the living body. The action of secreting the hormone Glucagon（Peptide hormone: 29 amino acid; In the Liver, it activates protein kinase a through binding to specific receptors and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP: cAMP-dependent protein kinase (Protein kinase A); Protein kinase（Phosphorylating enzyme）) production., which is secreted when blood sugar concentration is low and promotes the breakdown of glycogen（C6H10O5)n: Discovered as a liver component by Mr. Claude Bernard in Burgundy, France in 1856.
アスパラギン酸（C4H7NO4: Aminosuccinic acid, asparagic acid; The role of increasing the absorption of K and Mg and decomposing and promoting lactic acid. Located closest to the TCA cycle of the body, which is the place of energy production.）It is located closest to the TCA cycle（Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle: Citric Acid Cycle）of the body, which is the place of energy production. In 1937, German’s chemist and doctor Hans Adolf Krebs finds the circuit.England: Received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1953. Discovery of the Ornithine cycle of Urea synthesis: A cycle that draws out internal combustion. Decomposes fat and lactic acid and converts them into energy（Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle）.
グルタミン酸（C5H9NO4: 2-Aminopentanedioic acid: In animals, it can be synthesized from non-essential amino acids, that is, other organic compounds. Discovered by Mr.Karl Heinrich Leopold Ritthausen in 1866 in the acid hydrolyzate of gluten, a wheat protein. It is famous as a raw material for glutathione and GABA (4-aminobutanoic acid). It can be biosynthesized from “2-Oxopentanedioic acid” and “ammonia（NH3）”. It conveys information to nerves by binding to and activating N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) -type receptors. D-serine（It has the enzyme serine racemase (SRR) synthesized by Glial cells（It acts to give an energy source to nerve cells in the brain and builds an energy environment: A cell that fills parts of the brain other than nerve cells and supports the functions of nerve cells from various aspects.）located in a specific region of the hippocampus.）regulates stimulus volume. It is believed that the Synapse connection will be strengthened, giving memory and learning. There seems to be a hypothesis that the diseases alzheimer dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are caused by too much stimulation of the “NMDA receptor”.）
グリシン（Glycocholic: C2H5NO2: Aminoethanoic acid）; In the Nerve system, it also functions as an amino acid (Collagen: Protein, Elastin（Elastic fiber）, Keratin（△Cystine）, Sericin（C30H40N10O16）.), which is mainly responsible for inhibitory synaptic transmission between the brain stem and spinal cord. The feature is that there are no stereoisomers（The opposite sex with different three-dimensional directions of atoms in space.）such as D-form and L-form. Not only does it improve the shelf life of food, but it also has a sweet taste and is used as a seasoning. Porphyrins（Porphyra; Hemoglobin as an oxygen carrier in human blood (Erythrocyte） is prominent.） related to the function of carrying oxygen in the blood and creatine（C4H9N3O2; A small amount in the brain.）essential for muscle exercise.
プロリン（C5H9NO2, SMILES: OC(=O)C1CCCN1）: The main composition of collagen（Protein; A polymer compound formed by linking (polymerizing) a large number of 21 types of amino acids in a chain: Hydroxyproline（C5H9NO3））, which is abundant in gelatin and animal skins.
セリン（C3H7NO3: 2-Amino-3-hydroxypropionic acid）; A raw material for Phosphatidylserine（C13H24NO10P, Phospholipid- Signal transduction）, a component of cell membranes. It is one of the important moisturizing ingredients to maintain the moisture content of the skin, and can be a raw material for “glycine” that is close to the same ingredient. It is the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF: Small molecules such as Amino acids, pyrrolidone carboxylic acids (and their salts), urea, mineral salts, organic acids (and their salts).) of the skin and is the most abundant in amino acid.
グアニル酸: C10H14N5O8P, Guanylic acid enhances the umami-taste of glutamic acid. We analyzed the content of guanylic acid in tomato fruits of 11 cultivars before and after cooking. The contents were significantly higher in heated rather than non-heated fruit among all cultivars. To investigate the effect of heating on guanylic acid accumulation, we analyzed the content of guanylic acid and its degradation product, guanosine, in tomato fruits heated at temperatures between 25°C and 100°C. Based on the content of the two compounds, we speculate that the difference in quantity between the production and degradation of guanylic acid was the highest at 50-60°C, and that the maximum accumulation of guanylic acid occurred at 50-60°C.（Vegetable Pest Management and Postharvest Division, NARO Institute of Vegetable and Tea Science, Journal of the Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology 2015）
ナトリウム: Na; In the adult body, most of it is contained in extracellular fluid outside the cell. Approximately 50 % as salt (sodium chloride), bicarbonate, phosphate. About 40 % is present in the build and is slightly contained in the intracellular fluid. Functions such as osmotic pressure adjustment: Roles such as maintaining the amount of extracellular fluid. Normally, healthy people do not have a deficiency. It is possible to promote the excretion of sodium by taking vegetables and fruits that are high in potassium together. This is because it has been confirmed that taking too much increases the risk of swelling, thirst, high blood pressure, stomach cancer, and esophageal cancer.
カリウム: K; It interacts with “sodium”, which is abundant in extracellular fluid. It works to maintain the osmotic pressure of cells and retain water. After ingestion and absorption in the small intestine, it is transported to tissues throughout the body, most of which is excreted by the kidneys. It is maintained by regulation of reabsorption in the kidney, and the k concentration in blood is maintained between 3.6 and 4.8 meq / l. Together with sodium, it maintains cell osmotic pressure. It works to suppress nerve stimulus transmission, functional regulation of heart and muscle, and intracellular enzyme reaction（I have to add proton transfer equilibrium）. I heard that about 200g is contained in the body of an adult : Potassium.
カルシウム: Ca; In the body, the amount in cells and blood is strictly controlled. Tendency to move from bone to blood as needed. About 99% is stored in bone, but also in the blood of cells and muscles. If you don’t get the calcium you need, you risk mobilizing large amounts of calcium in your bones and weakening your bones. To maintain normal blood calcium levels, it is necessary to take at least 1000-1500 mg daily. Parathyroid hormone（PTH）and Thyrocalcitonin（Made by the cells of the thyroid gland, hormones have the function of lowering the calcium concentration in the blood by delaying the breakdown of bones.）; It is made up of four parathyroid glands behind the thyroid gland in the neck. As the calcium concentration in In blood rises, the amount of hormones produced by the parathyroid glands tends to decrease. It stimulates bones to release calcium into the blood and reduces the amount of calcium excreted by the kidneys into the urine. Increases calcium absorption by stimulating alimentary canal to increase calcium absorption by promoting the activation of vitamin D in the kidneys.
マグネシウム: Mg; Vinegar has been known to solubilize insoluble calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in food, however, the difference in solubilization ability among various kinds of vinegar has not been investigated. In this study, solubilization of Ca and Mg from coral powder and beef bone powder was compared with several kinds of vinegar. Calcium solubilization was observed to be high in grain vinegar, cider vinegar and wine vinegar, and low in rice vinegar and un-polished rice vinegar. On the other hand, magnesium solubilization was high in rice vinegar, wine vinegar and cider vinegar, and low in grain vinegar and un-polished rice vinegar. Calcium solubilization of coral powder was significantly negatively correlated with the pH of vinegar, while Mg solubilization was not. Comparison of solubilization of Ca in un-polished rice vinegar and acetic acid solution suggested that the phosphorus content was also responsible for solubilization in un-polished vinegar. These results suggest that ingredients in vinegar, as well as acidity and pH, affect solubilization of Ca and Mg from food when cooked with vinegar. Characterization of Solubilization of Insoluble Calcium and Magnesium with Various Kinds of Vinegar,Nakano Central Research Institute, Nakano Vinegar Co., Ltd. and Department of Applied Biological Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Tohoku University with Nippon shokuhin kagaku kogaku kaishi = Journal of the Japanese Society for Food Science and Technology 45(11), 655-662, 1998-11-15）
リン: P;（Leakage in urine causes symptoms such as hypoproteinemia, decreased renal function, and hyperphosphatemia.）The amount of phosphorus per 1 g of protein contains about 15 mg, and the intake correlates with the protein intake. The role of combining and strengthening bones and teeth. Higher blood phosphate levels tend to make bones brittle. Calcium tends to combine and become coal in other than bones such as blood vessels and tendons.
鉄: Fe; It is attracting attention as one of the world’s three major deficient micronutrients along with vitamin A and Iodine（I2; In 1811, Discovered by burning seaweed with potassium carbonate, which is the raw material for potassium nitrate by Bernard Courtois（仏）.）Non‐heme iron（Fe）（Included in vegetables, eggs and milk.）; By taking it with foods rich in high-quality protein and vitamin C, the absorption rate into the body is improved. Fe shortage of women due to blood loss, a big problem for expectant mother and lactating women whose demand increases. Due to the metabolism of the body, about 1 mg of iron（Fe）is lost in adult men and about 0.8 mg in women per day. Ferritin（A globular protein complex consisting of 24 proteins.）has a role of suppressing deficiency and excess, and is also called stored Fe. About 90% of anemia is iron deficiency, which is deficient in fe, one of the important materials of hemoglobin.
銅: Cu; It has been known for a long time as a trace essential mineral, which is present in the human body at about 80 mg. It binds to proteins and plays a role in catalyzing a wide range of in vivo reactions. Tendency to be mainly present in bone, skeletal muscle and blood. Although it is involved in hematopoietic function as well as Fe, no reports have been heard regarding the adverse effects of chronic overdose, except for some diseases. Monovalent compounds exist as insoluble salts and complex salts. Divalent salts and complex salts are common. It is absorbed from the small and duodenum and transported to the liver through the portal vein. I hear that the lower the intake, the higher the absorption rate, and the higher the intake, the lower the absorption rate. Large amounts of divalent iron and tin ions competitively inhibit the absorption of copper from the gastrointestinal tract. Inborn errors of copper metabolism（Wilson’s disease）: Protein binding: Hepatolenticular degeneration. It acts as a Cu enzyme and acts as a catalyst for various reactions such as O2 transport, electron transfer, redox, and O2 addition.Important for Fe metabolism and transport, removal of active oxygen, and metabolism of neurotransmitters. Deficiencies can result from hereditary malabsorption or are acquired, but are not found in the normal life of healthy people.On the other hand, cases of symptoms are given to Babies whose main source of nutrition is low-content milk. Insufficiency may cause anemia, leukopenia, and bone abnormalities that do not respond to Fe administration. In addition, there are decreased immune function, cardiovascular abnormalities, and abnormal cholesterol and glucose metabolism. However, this is less frequent.
マンガン: Mn; Functions as an enzyme activation and a component of metal enzymes. It is a silver-white metal with an atomic number of 25 and an atomic weight of 54.94, and its surface is oxidized in the air. I hear that 12（For a weight of 70 kg）to 20 milligramme is present in the body of an adult. It acts directly with many elements, gradually reacts with water, and is easily dissolved in acids. Absorbed by inhalation, oral or transdermal: Ingested from the diet, it dissolves as divalent by gastric acid and becomes trivalent by the oxidative mechanism of intestinal cells. It is absorbed, transported to the liver through vena portalis, secreted from the bile into the intestinal tract, and mostly excreted as feces. Since absorption competes with Fe, manganese tends to be less likely to be absorbed if the iron content in the diet is high. It is abundant in mitochondria, and is contained in high concentrations in pigmented areas in the body such as the retina, hair, and skin pigmented areas. It suggests specific and non-specific effects on many enzyme activities such as oxidoreductase, hydrolase, dehydrogenase, and transferase. It is also a component of arginine-degrading enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase, and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Examples include connective tissue and bone formation, inner ear growth formation, glucose tolerance, fertility, lipid metabolism, growth and involvement in brain function.
亜鉛: Zn; Zinc‐deficiency symptom: A state in which the zinc concentration in the blood is below 80 μg / dL to 130 μg / dL. Dermatitis, stomatitis, alopecia, pressure ulcer due to lack. Loss of appetite, developmental disorders, hypogonadism, susceptibility, dysgeusia, anemia, infertility, etc. Various symptoms occur and tend to improve with zinc supplementation.
モリブデン: Mo; In the human body, it acts as a component of the molybdenum enzyme that catalyzes the redox reaction. I’ve heard that hypervitaminosis is not a problem because it is relatively less toxic than other heavy metals. It dissolves in hot concentrated sulfur acid, but does not react with H2O, hydrochloric acid（HCl）,and dilute sulfuric acid（H2SO4）and does not dissolve. It is abundant in the liver and kidneys in the body and tends to be easily absorbed in the stomach and small intestine. Xanthine oxidase（NAD+-xanthine dehydrogenase）, aldehyde oxidase, and sulfite oxidase are known as constituents. Insufficiency often causes tachycardia, hyperventilation, night blindness, etc. due to long-term complete parenteral nutrition. However, I heard that the administration is expected to improve the symptoms.In healthy people, hypervitaminosis is not a problem in a normal diet because it is excreted quickly even if it is ingested excessively. Chronic poisoning can cause gout-like symptoms such as joint pain and hyperuricemia. Acute poisoning can cause gastrointestinal disorders with diarrhea, leading to coma and heart failure. It is abundant in cereals, legumes and nuts.
セレン: Se; It exists bound to protein, and its absorption is thought to occur at the same time as protein absorption. A component of glutathione peroxidase（Isoenzyme）that decomposes hydrogen peroxide（H2O2）and hydroperoxidase（-OOH）. Important for antioxidant systems, along with vitamin E and superoxide dismutase (SOD). I also heard that it is a component of enzymes involved in ascorbic acid（C6H8O6）regeneration, thyroid hormone activation and metabolism. It seems that there is about 250 μg per kg of body weight in the human body. Homeostasis is maintained by excretion into the urine. Insufficiency is thought to cause cell damage due to peroxides. However, it seems that there are almost no problems with normal eating habits in Japan. Selenium is abundant in algae, seafood, meat, and egg yolk.
ヨウ素: I; It is taken into the thyroid gland and synthesizes thyroid hormone. It is indispensable because it promotes metabolism and, in the case of children, promotes growth together with growth hormone. Seaweed is especially contained, and kelp is by far the best, followed by hijiki seaweed. I heard that it is the main component of Lugol’s（Created in 1829 by French doctor J.G.A. Lugol.）iodine used for disinfection such as treatment of inflammation and teeth. The most in demand is the raw material for X-ray contrast and opaque media, which is used for the diagnosis of blood vessels and various organs. Used as a stabilizer to prevent chemical deterioration of polyamide（polymer）. Iodine deficiency is prevented by making it easier to take iodine on a daily basis by using salt with elementary compounds added to the soil.

Tomatoes belong to the Solanaceae family and are perennials in the tropics, but are annual plants in the temperate zone. The place of origin is said to be the western plateau of South America. It was introduced in Japan in the early 18th century, but it seems that it was treated for appreciation at that time. Until the early Showa period, production was insignificant because it did not suit general tastes, but it seems that the cultivation area has increased since around 1935.
It was prototyped in a glass greenhouse in Kusugami Town, Takamatsu City around the end of the Taisho era, and it seems that the cultivation area increased with the spread of vinyl greenhouses in the early 1950s. In particular, the ripe round ball variety “MOMOTARO (The first Momotaro Tomato, which was announced in 1985 by Takii Seed Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. , it has become possible to deliver delicious tomatoes to the table.) ”, It seems that consumption has expanded and the cultivation area has also increased. In addition, the variety of tomato cultivation has expanded due to the spread of quality-enhancing ingredients such as high sugar content tomatoes, midi tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes, and consumption has increased significantly. Kagawa Prefecture produces a variety of tomatoes such as Momotaro tomatoes and high sugar content tomatoes, but the production area of large ball tomatoes seems to be sluggish because new producers are more likely to choose mini tomatoes. The main production areas are SANUKI City, Takamatsu City, Kanonji City, etc.
According to interviews with several farmers, if you are thinking about farming as a professional, you need to be prepared to be involved for a lifetime. On top of that, I think it is necessary to have a clear goal for yourself and to be willing and motivated to do your daily work in order to achieve that goal. Agriculture is a natural partner and there are many difficulties, but that is why the joy of harvesting is exceptional. It seems that he sat down and thought that he could do what he wanted to do.
