【Major features】

The character is a combination of JA Oigawa’s farmer’s market “Mansaikan” and the animal “Sai”. “Mansai-kun” is a shy and quiet rhino boy (5 years old). My dream is to spread local agricultural products all over the country. “Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture”, It has the second largest population after Shizuoka City. It is located in the central part and has a long terrain from north to south. It is long from north to south, and the northern part borders the southern tip of the Akaishi Mountains and is blessed with abundant greenery. The Shida Plain spreads to the south, and the Seto River runs through the city. Very comfortable with abundant flowers, greenery and water. Pale violet, whose image color is mauve and is the flower of the city, is familiar to the citizens and is crowded with many people at the Wisteria floribunda festival. In an area that is also famous as a “soccer city”. An ancient burial mound that drives curiosity about ancient times. Akunami Shrine: Tradition and style founded during the Emperor Nintoku era (316). The remains of a government office that looks at the political culture of the Heian period in Nara. The history of the castle that changed the Lord to Sengoku era as Imagawa-Takeda-Tokugawa. During the Edo period, it prospered as the 21st and 22nd post towns on the Tokaido. It seems that the streets that are not much different from Fujieda inn and Okabe inn at that time will remain. Merged with Okabe Town, which has developed as a post town of tokaido, on January 1, 2009. Fujieda Zero to Agriculture Entry System (Purpose): Until now, in principle, only farmers and new farmers who have undergone certain training could rent farmland, but the purpose is self-sufficiency and purpose in life. For those who cultivate as a farmer or those who aim to become farmers, the “Fujieda Zero Farming Entry System” was established, enabling the establishment of leasehold rights of 10 ares or less for farmland in specific areas, and the use of idle farmland. It seems to try to prevent and eliminate the outbreak and promote new farming. Areas with a lack of bearers and a considerable amount of idle farmland, the lower limit of Fujieda City’s permission requirement under Article 3 of the Agricultural Land Law, which is 30 ares or more, has been relaxed to 1 square meter or more for each block. From May 1, 2021, the “Fujieda Zero to Agriculture Entry System” will start. Be a new farmer. Depending on your farming experience, resources, and ability, it seems that you can rent farmland of 10 ares or less. Local discussion for formulating Fujieda City regional plan (mid-September 2022): Agriculture is an important industry that produces food that is essential for daily life. It seems that the maintenance of good farmland has become an urgent issue. Under these circumstances, the city is working toward the formulation of regional plans (district plans that summarize the way of regional agriculture and farmland utilization methods) based on the partial revision of the Act on Promotion of Strengthening Agricultural Management Bases, etc. Discussions will start in mid-August. For each of the nine regions in the people and farmland plans announced by last year, it seems that discussions will be held sequentially regarding the background and purpose of the law revision, an explanation of the procedure for formulating regional plans, and the areas where agricultural use will be carried out. From the region, the chairman of the agricultural department and certified farmers attend, and it seems that opinions are being exchanged while looking at the current map of farmland use created by the people and farmland plan. In the future, the prefecture plans to ask each municipality to set up a model district, identify issues in the course of supporting the formulation of regional plans, and reflect them in the creation of guidelines for formulating plans. “Yaizu City”, Located in the southern part of the Shida Plain, which extends to the central part of the prefecture. It has a warm climate and is blessed with natural conditions such as abundant water originating from the “Oi River”. In the plains, in addition to rice, facilities vegetable, tomatoes, strawberries, chrysanthemums, etc., mainly open-field vegetables. In the mountains, we develop highly intensive agriculture such as tea and mandarin oranges. The strength of the proximity of production and consumption areas. Infiltrate local residents and develop agriculture where the face of producer can be seen from the perspective of local production local for consumption. In the industry, the fishery distribution and processing industry is thriving, and the quality and quantity are the highest in Japan. Along with this, the production of marine machinery and fishery processing machinery is also active, and it plays a major role in the city’s industrial sector. Yaizu Port: Katsuwonus pelamis and Thunnus are mainly landed as bases for pelagic fisheries. A generic term for the two ports of Kogawa, where horse mackerel, Morth Borneo, etc. are landed in the coastal waters: Yaizu fishing port. Oi-gawa Port where lucensosergia lucens, which can only be caught in Whitebait and Suruga Bay, is landed. Tokutei Daisanshu Gyoko (a specific third-kind fishing port or nationally important fishing port): A fishing port that is especially important for the promotion of the fishing industry. It boasts one of the largest landings in Japan. etc. A warm climate with an average annual temperature of 16.5 degrees Celsius and rare winter snowfall. The area is 70.31km2. Fujimori’s Taasobi rice planting ritual (May 17, 1977; Fujimori, Yaizu City). Most of the arable land in the city is flat land, 80% of which is rice paddy. The main brands are Koshihikari rice, Aichi no Kaori rice, and Kinumusume rice, and rare varieties such as ancient rice (red rice, black rice) and Milky Queen rice are also produced in the prefecture. In recent years, the cultivation of Homare Fuji, a sake rice variety developed in Shizuoka Prefecture, has become popular, with Yaizu City boasting 60% of the production in the prefecture. Producers in the city have set up the “Yaizu sake rice study group” and are actively promoting it, so please refer to it. In 1966, tomatoes were designated as a production area by the Japanese government. It seems that they mainly produce Momotaro tomatoes, but also cherry tomatoes, medium tomatoes, and high sugar content tomatoes. It seems that strawberries began to be cultivated in Shizuoka around the early Meiji period. In Yaizu City, Shizuoka varieties such as Beni Hoppe and Kirapika Strawberries are mainly cultivated, and it seems that about half of the production in the Shita area is cultivated in Yaizu. Melons are cultivated in a greenhouse where temperature and humidity are controlled. It seems that the sugar content is high at the peak season from the old Bon in July to the lantern festival in August. Pears grown in the Shida area are widely known as “Shitarashi”. The main varieties are Shinsui Pear, Kosui Pear, and Hosui Pear. In 1978, Kiyoji Matsunaga of Kozuchi, Yaizu City developed a seedling called “Kisui Pear” by crossbreeding “Hosui Pear’ with “Meigetsu Pear” in 1978. Selected and grown from fruit-bearing fruits. After that, after research and confirmation of characteristics with the cooperation of Shizuoka Prefecture Citrus Experimental Station, registration application was made in 1988, and the variety was registered in 1990. The name at the time of application was “Seiryu.” It has become a pear.)”. As for mandarin oranges and tea, citrus fruits such as unshu mandarin oranges, ponkan, harumi, and shiranui are produced in the mountainous areas centered on Mt. Takakusa. In addition, tea is cultivated mainly in Yabukita in some of the mountainous slopes. A variety of vegetables are grown both outdoors and in greenhouses, such as cabbage, lettuce, green onions, cucumbers, and celery. Various varieties of flowers such as chrysanthemums, roses, and flower bed seedlings are cultivated. Chrysanthemums have a long history of cultivation, and are said to have started right after the war. Spray chrysanthemums are cultivated, mainly single chrysanthemums. Flower bed seedlings are full of various varieties, including petunias, pansies, and daily grasses. Poultry farming and dairy farming are being managed in an environment-friendly manner due to the progress of urbanization and mixed living. As for the eggs, they are pursuing better quality through branding. Dairy farming seems to be based on fresh raw milk production in a hygienic environment. This is the most difficult situation for dairy farmers. I would like to ask you to take measures as soon as possible. City Promotion Shimada City Green Tea Plan: Green tea from Shimada City, which grows and processes distinctive tea leaves and is highly evaluated not only in the city and prefecture but also nationwide. The city is promoting this as a promotion measure that utilizes the image of green tea. An initiative to pick up the individuality and charm of the city and use the logo mark of the green tea plan and the image color “green tea green” to disseminate it to the outside of the city. Conducted on “the first weekday of every month” from November 1, 2018. In tea producing district Shizuoka Prefecture, the characteristics of tea leaves differ depending on the topography and weather conditions of the cultivated area. Also, the color and taste of the tea you make will change depending on how you process the tea leaves. There are three typical cultivated areas in Shimada City: “Shimada Tea”, “Kanaya Green tea (former town name in Haibara District, now occupying the western part of Shimada City)” and “Kawane Tea (Kawane Town, Haibara District)”. And Kawanehoncho (formerly Nakakawane Town and formerly Motokawane Town) ”. Yui Area Shimada City , Surrounded by mountains, the daylight hours are short, and the temperature difference between day and night and the soft morning dew surround you. It is an environment blessed with the growth of tea（A gem brought up by nature. ）. The taste and aroma of Shimada tea is one of the best among the many Shizuoka teas. In 2013, a tea offering to the gods business will be held in the city for new tea to imperial households. In connection with that, a tea plantation in the yui district was designated. A park with a futsal（five a-side）ground for raw turf: Shiroyama Park; At the rural park maintained on the site of the visitor center at Mt. Fuji Shizuoka airport. The local community association plays a central role. Unique to the Yui area. It is always managed by local residents and is also used as an event venue for the Tanabata Festival and connectedness Festival. Guinness certified “the longest wooden pedestrian bridge in the world” : Horai Bridge（H9, Certified in December. Agricultural bridge built in 1879.）（Farm road: 土地改良法, 昭和二十四年, 法律第百九十五号: Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.）A farm road bridge with a total length of 897.4 m that connects the “Makinohara plateau” and the city. It is known as one of the leading tea gardens in Japan. Before it was possible, he had to cross the Oi River by a small boat, and it was dangerous to come and go. It is still used by farmers in the old city to manage the tea plantations on the opposite bank. In July 1869, the shoguns who escorted the last shogun Yoshinobu Tokugawa: He pioneered Makinohara in Hatsukura on the right bank of the Oi River and started making tea. The reclaimers at the Shimada inn make a wish to bridge the Shizuoka county magistrate (current governor) of the time. It was approved and the Horai Bridge was completed on January 13, 1879. However, due to the wooden bridge, it has been damaged every time the Oi River rises. It was changed to a concrete pier in April 1965 and becomes what it is today. High-brightness LED lighting equipment was installed in March 2003. As the sun sets, green light reveals the outline of the bridge, creating a fantastic space. It is said that the citizens are familiar with it as a wooden bridge that is integrated with the nature of the Oi River. It has appeared on the stage of Historical play, Televised drama and suspense, and recently on Variety show, and is known all over the country. It is one of the few rented bridges nowadays, and you pay a toll to the “Hashiban” at the foot of the bridge before crossing. March 20, 2018: Product sales office “Horai Bridge 897.4 tea dealer” opened on the left bank of Horai Bridge. Closed from Saturday, April 18, 2nd year. Business hours will be shortened from May 22nd (Friday) to November 19th (Thursday). Business resumed near normal from Friday, November 20th. The Horaibashi bon bon festival is held every May, and the bridge is expected to be decorated with many bonbons and various events will be held. “Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture”, It is located in the center of Shizuoka prefecture.To the north are the mountains leading to the Southern Alps. The lush Makinohara Plateau extends to the southwest. The Oi River, which originates in Southern Alps and flows into Suruga Bay, runs through the city. The city is about 23 km east-west and about 31 km north-south. The area is 315.70 km2. On May 5, 2005, former Shimada City and the former Kanaya Town, Haibara District merged. Then, on April 1, 2008, City merged with Kawane Town Haibara District. The hills and mountains of the Ikumi, Aigatani, and Otsuya river basins on the left bank of the Oi River are wide and have valley bottom lowlands. The top of the Oi River alluvial fan also has a gravel lowland, and the old river channel is also distributed. Okadahara and Iroo terraces on the Makinohara plateau in the south. The Oi River flows through a wide riverbed in a network. Northern mountains: Mudstone / weathering process of sandstone in the mikura group. Shale sandstone alternating layers and basaltic pyroclastic rocks of the Setogawa Group. Eastern mountains: The shale and sandstone of the Oigawa Group are distributed. The Gravel layer on the makinohara plateau on the right bank of the oi river is based on the Oigawa and Sagara groups. Thick gravel layers are deposited on the alluvial fan. The average annual temperature is estimated to be about 15.0 ° C, and the average annual rainfall is about 2,271 mm. The temperature difference between flat land and mountainous land is large, and in winter, the air wind tends to blow down from the plateau. Precipitation is slightly less than the average in prefecture, with about 50% of total precipitation expected from spring to summer (April to August). The feature that it is easy to amplify the ground vibration at the time of an earthquake. Be careful about the collapse of houses and the spread of fire due to a fire. On slopes, there is a high possibility of collapse or landslide due to earthquake motion. Flooded water may flood the crops for a long period of time, damaging the crops.3rd Sunday of September: Shimada Mage（Toro-bin shimadamage (Mid-Edo Period; Worn by, originally, yujo, and then young women of townspeople). Tsubuichi: A variation of Shimada mage. of Japanese hairstyles, a simplified form of the Shimada coiffure, called ‘kusatabane’. Yuiwata (tied cotton): it is tied by Tegara at the folding back of Shimada Mage. This hairstyle lasts from the Edo Period until today. In case of a full-fledged senior geigi, they primarily wore their hair in the shimada mage, kimono with train and tsume sode, and mizu oshiroi (powder foundation with water). ）Matsuri Festival (Shimada City, Edo period）. “Goober”, Experience type food park ”kadode ooigawa” : R2. Served as peanut gelato at the farm restaurant “Da Monde” scheduled to open on November 12th. In response to a request from the producer, it took about two years to commercialize it in collaboration with the facility. “Is there a product that makes peanuts a specialty? I want to process it and have more people taste it” : To commercialize the specialty peanuts. It’s peeled, roasted, blended and mixed with white-based gelato. There are two types, deep roasted and light roasted, both of which are said to have a sufficient flavor. I definitely want to taste it. I’m glad to have such a wonderful thing. I want you to know the charm of peanuts with this as an opportunity: Voice of the producer who tasted it. “Omasari” is about twice the size of general varieties, and the yield is more than 1.3 times, and it seems that it is about 900 kg per 10 ares. In fact, it is soft and suitable for “boiled peanuts”, and it is popular because it is sweeter and tastier than conventional varieties. From the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration website, the variety name at the time of application publication Application number 21228 Application date 2007/07/05 Application publication date 2007/12/04 Registration number 19305 Registration date 2010/03/16 Breeding Duration of breeding rights 25 years Extinction date of breeder’s rights Chiba Prefecture (Ichiba Town, Chuo Ward, Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture): Names of those who bred registered varieties Yoshiharu Iwata, Hiroyuki Kiyoshima, Hasegawa Makoto, Takashi Matsuda, Kazuo Suzuki, Hisao Sora, Yukari Shinbori, No designated countries with restrictions on exports. The plant type is intermediate type II, the main stem length is medium, the branch length is medium, the leaflet shape is long, the leaf color is light green, the flower color is yellow, the pod length is quite long, the pod width is wide, 1 The number of grains in the pod is small, the grain shape is slightly long, there is no spot on the seed coat, the color of the seed coat is light orange-brown, the grain weight is large, the flowering period is medium, the maturity period is late, and the lodging resistance is weak. The crude fat content is low, and the resistance to stem rot is weak. The application cultivar “Omasari” is distinguished from the control cultivar “Nakateyutaka; 中手豊（A large variety developed in Yachimata City, Chiba Prefecture in 1979, it is characterized by its light and sweet taste. Since it is harvested earlier than Chiba Handachi, it is also called an early-maturing variety, and new beans tend to hit the market sooner. ）” in that the main stem length is medium, the grain weight is large, and the crude fat content is low. Is recognized. Compared to the control variety “Chiba Handachi（The “middle-sized seed” discovered by Ginjiro Kubo at Honda Mankadai, Chiba District (currently Honda Town, Midori Ward, Chiba City) is said to have become a recommended variety in 1953. It has a good taste and seems to be still cultivated as the highest quality brand product of the peanut kingdom Chiba. It has the characteristic that the flower stock spreads widely, and it seems that it was named after the state where only about half of the flowers stand up.）”, it is said that distinction is recognized by the fact that the main stem length is medium, the grain weight is large, and the crude fat content is low. An Okute variety that was bred at the Chiba Prefectural Agricultural Research Center in 2006 by crossing Nakate Yutaka with the largest grain variety “Jenkins Jumbo”. The variety was registered in 2010. Again, it is a peanut that weighs about twice as much as a general variety. Suitable for boiled peanuts, it has a strong sweetness and is soft, and tends to have an excellent taste. It seems that it has been cultivated in general since 2009. It has been cultivated in Okinawa Prefecture for a long time in Japan, and it is said that it was transmitted from China to Honshu in 1706. However, it seems that it was not cultivated. It is said that the current cultivation in Japan is the first time that the government introduced seeds from the United States in 1874 and distributed them to various places and recommended cultivation, but in 1872, Keijiro Watanabe（1841-1914: In 1873, two years after his cultivation in Terasaka, Kokufu Village, Naka District, a man named Shobei Futami (Azuma Village, present-day Ninomiya Town) from the neighboring village ordered seeds separately from Yokohama and cultivated them. When he was around the age, he gave it to his neighbors and cultivated it extensively. In 1882, by chance, a plant of a different kind appeared in Shobei’s field. This is the peanut of today and seems to be the origin of Soshu peanut. Until then, peanuts seemed to have been difficult to cultivate because of their “puffiness”. Today’s peanuts are improved varieties of “Standing ability: The ability of a plant to grow upwards so that its branches and stems can stand upright.” peanuts discovered by Shobei, and without this discovery it seems that today’s peanut production would not have expanded.）of Kanagawa Prefecture obtained the seeds. It seems that they are starting to grow. The scientific name of peanuts is Arachis hypogeae L. Arachis hypogeae. Arakis is the genus name, Hipogea is the species minor name, and L. is the namer, in this case Linnaeus, the father of taxonomy. The name is given to the cultivated species, and it is a well-known fact that peanuts are not wild species like corn. It seems that the wild species that originated have an approximate estimate. Kawanehon-cho Haibara District: Located in the central part of the Prefecture, Shizuoka City is in the east. It is adjacent to Shimada City in the south and Hamamatsu City in the west. The north is the prefectural border with Nagano Prefecture.The town area is about 23 km east and west along the Oi River: It is elongated about 40 km north and south, and forests occupy about 90%. The range of the village is 15 km east-west and 20 km north-south. Blessed with tourism resources, the foothills of the southern part of South Alps and the avant-garde mountains weave: In addition, Sumatakyo hot spring and Sessokyo hot spring are scattered in the beautiful scenery. There are many places where you can come in contact with nature, such as campsites and hiking trails.In addition, South Alps Abt- Line, which has Japan’s only Abt- system railway（A cog railway system used on a steep hill）: Also known is the Oigawa-Railway where SL runs every day. Tea plantation spreads across the Oigawa River in the Kawane green tea（Famous Tea）producing area. Oigawa Japan Agricultural Cooperatives: ‘Goober’, Experience type food park ‘kadode ooigawa’ : R2. Served as peanut gelato at the farm restaurant “Da Monde” scheduled to open on November 12th. Kawanehoncho Agriculture and Forestry Center: Established in 1963 as a base for regional industrial development and modernization. Initially, the company was also involved in the production of seedlings for planting and the supply and raising of pigs for the promotion of livestock farming. As such, it seems that various demonstration tests are being conducted on the production of tea seedlings necessary for replanting old tea gardens, cultivation technology, new technology, etc. (anti-frost facilities, various plucking machines such as riding machines). In particular, the center has made great achievements in breeding excellent varieties of tea. The mature leaves are large and oval, and the leaf color is glossy dark green. New shoots in the plucking season are heavy shoots, and the yield is comparable to that of ‘Yabukita tea.’ Cold resistance is red. It is more resistant to withering and tearing frost damage than ‘Yabukita tea’, and since it is a late maturing variety, it is easy to avoid frost damage. It seems to be very weak against L.) Kuntze; “Yabukita tea” has a unique aroma that is different from “Yabukita tea”, and its light blue color is bright, strong and extremely good. It is a Wase variety that is four to five days earlier than Yabukita green tea and has a slightly upright tree shape with extremely strong tree vigor. The mature leaves are elliptical with a slightly shorter tip and leaf color. The buds are green. The buds are well aligned during the plucking period, and the weight of 100 buds is slightly smaller. The yield is comparable to that of ‘Yabukita tea’, and the cold resistance is strong against red wilt, and is resistant to anthracnose. Although it is a little stronger than ‘Yabukita tea’, it seems to be as weak as ‘Yabukita tea’ against damping off and mulberry scales. It seems that the internal quality is very good. In particular, it has a light scent that makes you feel the fresh green, and it seems that you can feel enough umami with little astringency. In terms of chemical composition, amino acids, which are said to be umami ingredients, It seems to have a high theanine content and a low content of catechin, which is an astringent component.)”, it is no exaggeration to say that today’s status was established through the cultivar selection project at the same center. In addition, in order to support the development of core farmers through combined management with tea, it seems that they are also producing Japanese yam and wasabi seedlings. In 1980, as a training ground for agricultural successors, a tea industry technical training center equipped with a tea factory and soil analysis room was established. We are open to the public at the local resource general exchange utilization facility where we conduct training on pot roasted tea for people. In the same JA jurisdiction area, there is a case of building a high sugar content tomato brand (Amera Tomato), which rationally expresses high technology and quality, creates a high sugar content tomato market, and acquires wide recognition and a high brand image. Amera tomato is cultivated by “Honey Ponic”, a hydroponics system that applies root zone limited cultivation (cultivation method that restricts root elongation and creates a compact tree shape) developed by Shizuoka Prefectural Research Institute of Agriculture and Forestry in 1994. It is a high sugar content tomato that is used. In 1996, three producers in Yaizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture (former Oigawa Town) started cultivation. Production is carried out at three large-scale facilities (total area of 16.1 hectares) located in Nagano Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture, and is still expanding. In addition, since the production area is located in a warm area along the sea and a cold highland along the mountain, year-round cultivation and shipment are carried out taking advantage of the difference in temperature. The main variety is “Momotaro York Tomato”, which has excellent high-temperature fruit setting. In the cultivation conducted by Honey Ponic Co., Ltd., by limiting the amount of watering to the utmost limit, high sugar content and components are accumulated in the fruits, so the fruits during the harvesting period are 3% compared to conventional cultivation (220 to 230 grams per fruit weight). It seems to be about the size of a third. Last year, on October 22nd, the JA Oigawa Fruits and Forest Products Association raw shiitake committee held a meeting at the same JA Asahina collection point in Fujieda City in order to standardize the quality before full-scale shipment. 10 members of the department participated and decided the shipment standard based on the size, opening, color, and degree of deformation of the shiitake umbrellas brought in. We started shipping the next day, the 11th, and planned to ship 7,000 kg by March. In addition, the group cultivates about 5,000 to 20,000 mushroom beds weighing 1.3 to 2.5 kg with 10 people. Then, it is shipped to mass retailers and “KADODE OOIGAWA” through markets inside and outside the prefecture. In 2021, the outbreak was delayed by about a week due to the high temperature in early October, but the high quality is maintained at the same level as in normal years. Umbrellas began with large umbrellas of 6.5 cm or more in size, and from around January, they shifted to medium-sized umbrellas of less than 6.4 cm. “Tomtom mushrooms” Tomtom shiitake is a special produce that is thick and large. Tom tom, which begins to be harvested in late fall, is a rare variety with few growers in Japan. It is a seasonal product that is only available for a limited time (only once a year in the fall), and because it is cultivated under natural conditions, it has a firm texture and an unforgettable flavor. Among them, Mori Sangyo Co., Ltd. (located in Nishihisakata Town, Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture, established in April 1943) developed and nurtured Mori no Tom Tom (ML8) shiitake mushrooms. Natural cultivation occurs, the temperature range is 10 ℃ ~ 20 ℃, and the cultivation schedule seems to be characteristic. It is large, has firm flesh, and has a long shelf life. Also, the market seems to be trading at high prices.

Mushroom bed Shiitake mushrooms are a masterpiece of food revolution. Sawdust is solidified, seed coma is placed on blocks (fungal bed) about four sides, and germination is promoted in a dark room with high humidity. By artificially providing nutrients, it is possible to harvest one after another in a cycle of 3 to 6 months, so producers can expect to be shipped all year round. In addition, it is possible to harvest in a shorter period of time than log cultivation. However, once the mushroom bed is harvested, it seems necessary to dispose of it as industrial waste at a cost. The amount of waste mushroom bed is 2-3 times (weight ratio) of harvested mushrooms. There seem to be plenty of advantages in terms of.

It seems that the work of removing unnecessary buds is essential. With the stimulation of opening the filling bag, shiitake sprouts will emerge from the mushroom bed in a few days. If you don’t do this, all the shiitake mushroom inoculum on the fungus bed will turn into shiitake mushrooms, and mold will easily grow on them. Originally, shiitake mushrooms have the power to keep other fungi (molds) away, but it seems that the risk of mold growth increases as the number of shiitake mushrooms decreases. Also, in order to keep the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse constant and to keep pests away, it seems that they take the time to wash and keep the mushroom bed clean during the “flooding” necessary for shiitake mushrooms to grow. After harvesting, the fungus bed is usually left to rest for a month before being submerged in water to regenerate shiitake mushrooms. Furthermore, by staggering the start of cultivation of the fungus bed, it seems that they are creating a system that can be shipped throughout the year.

Bounded between the Southern Alps to the north and Suruga Bay to the south, JA Oigawa is rich in nature. Tea, bamboo shoots, and shiitake mushrooms are grown in the mountains, and tomatoes, lettuce, and strawberries are grown in the plains. The farmer’s market “Mansaikan” seems to offer safe, secure and fresh local products cultivated in each region. Opened as a place for communication between consumers and producers, there are many processed products such as pickles and side dishes in addition to agricultural and livestock products such as vegetables, meat, rice and flowers that the producers have grown with great care. In addition, the “Autumn Minori Market” has started on October 31, 2022 at JA Oigawa Fujieda Factory in Horinouchi, Fujieda City. It is planned to be held until November 5th as part of the “Autumn Appreciation Sale,” which is currently being held to offer tea at a discounted price.

Along with this, the widespread adoption of organic farming as a means of sustainable development to bridge the gap between supply and demand of food is also supporting the growth of the market. In addition, the development of advanced agricultural technology and the increased use of biofertilizers appear to be major factors driving market growth. In addition to this, the expansion of trade activities for crops and products, especially with developing countries, seems to have a positive impact on the market. As another factor, the implementation of favorable government policies to promote the use of nano-fertilizers to maintain flat green spaces and fields, coupled with growing global environmental awareness, is expected to further boost the market. From 2021 to 2026, the global fertilizer market will be calculated from the geometric mean of the compound average growth rate of about 4% (the rate of increase over multiple periods expressed by the rate of increase per unit period). It is predicted to grow at a compound annual growth rate). The global fertilizer market is categorized based on product type, product, product form and crop type. Chemical fertilizer, bio fertilizer, straight fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer, urea, ammonium nitrate calcium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, anhydrous ammonia, etc. Super phosphate (SSP), Tertiary super phosphate (TSP), other potash fertilizers, potash muriate (MoP), potash sulfate (SoP), by-nutrient fertilizers, calcium fertilizers, magnesium fertilizers, Sulfur fertilizer, micronutrient fertilizer, zinc, manganese, copper, iron, boron, molybdenum, etc. According to a market research report by Global Information, Inc. (Manpukuji, Aso Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture), the market size of nitrogen fertilizer will reach US $ 54.9 billion in 2020, with a CAGR of 5.2% from 2021 to 2028. It seems that it is expected to grow. This seems to be due to the growing popularity of commercial agriculture around the world. In the agricultural sector, the demand for nitrogen fertilizers is increasing in order to properly nourish edible crops and increase yields. Agricultural crops such as fruits, vegetables, grains and cotton are undoubtedly the main areas of use for nitrogen fertilizers. The production level of agricultural products is greatly affected by climate change, and the supply and demand of agricultural products changes from season to season. Fertilizer is an important ingredient used in agricultural work to promote the growth of crops, and most of the crops cultivated in the world use fertilizer. Namegata City, Ibaraki Prefecture, where more than 80 kinds of vegetables are harvested annually and supports everyone from the foundation of Japanese agriculture. The city of whereabouts is located in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, surrounded by Nishiura and Kitaura in Kasumigaura. It is an area with soil. Hitachi Province (Ibaraki Prefecture) was established by the Taika Reform of 645CE, and there are only five Fudoki in Japan that describe the situation at that time: Hitachi Province, Harima Province, Bizen Province, Bungo Province, and Izumo Province. There is already a description of the whereabouts area in. The city is a region with a warm and mild climate due to the blessings of Kasumigaura and Mt. Tsukuba. In addition, mellow land was formed from many rivers flowing into Kasumigaura. The whereabouts area is a famous place where various agricultural products can be produced regardless of the crop. The sun, water, abundant soil, and areas that have benefited a lot from nature form an industrial system centered on the agriculture, livestock and fisheries industry. As a result, many agricultural, livestock and fishery products can be shipped throughout the year, and it is possible to stably supply foodstuffs to the metropolitan area (consumption area). More than 60 kinds of various products (rice, vegetables, meat (pork, beef, chicken), chicken eggs, river fish) are stably shipped to the Tokyo area throughout the year. In particular, the items with the highest yields are sweet potatoes, potatoes, mizuna greens, and auction, which maintain the highest yields in Japan. “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki (description of the culture, climate, etc. of Hitachi province; approx. 720 CE)” : Hitachi is a good country with a large country, far mountains, fertile fields, and cultivated Rangeland. Blessed with the blessings of the sea and mountains, the people are at ease and the houses are full. There is no poor man who cultivates rice fields and spins threads. You can get salt in the mountains on the left and fish in the sea on the right. In addition, Kuwahara（Mulberry field）spreads in the rear field, and hemp is cultivated in the front field. It is a place rich in the fruits of Umikawa Yamano no（海川山野之）. However, since there are few high-quality paddy fields (many wetlands), seedlings may not grow if long rains continue. With just the right amount of sunshine, the grain is rich enough. On May 2; 甲子, 713; 和銅6年, Empress Genmei issued an official order to promote Fudoki to the whole country. At this time, the title “Fudoki” was not official, and it was only an order to submit the customs geography of each country together. After that, in the Heian period, Kiyotsura Miyoshi’s “Twelve Articles of Opinion Sealing”, Kinmochi Yatabe’s “Nihon Shoki Shiki”, and “Fudoki” in 925, etc. It is believed that in the Heian period, it came to be called by the generic name “Fudoki”. The official order of Fudoki is, “Write your favorite characters for the names of the counties of the seven provinces of Kinai. And record the story of the land, the reason for the name of Yamakawa Wilderness, and the old story of the old man’s biography.” To make this official order easier to understand, the name of the county town is written in a favorable character (two kanji characters), a list of minerals such as silver and copper, plants, animals, fish, and insects in the county, the fertile state of the land, the place name of the mountain river wilderness. It describes the origin and the old story that the old man tells. In each country, it is probable that the survey was conducted on a county-by-county basis and submitted by each gunji; district governor (Ritsuryo period: Various institutional designs for running the country are carried out within the legal framework of the Ritsuryo. For example, if it is a famous policy of the Nara period, the state will distribute the cultivated land “allotment of rice paddies for cultivation during the cultivator’s lifetime : The basis of the ancient land system” and “Taxes in kind or service system” to collect taxes from each individual. Province-district-neighbourhood administrative divisions: The whole country was divided into more than 60 countries, and the country was further divided into counties and counties into villages. In the village, 2 to 20 village is one county. The country sends a policy officer (under the ritsuryo system, any of a group of officials, esp. The director) from the capital, and the county assigns the local powerful family to the district governor. Carrots and villages select the influential people there, “chife of village”, and various basic systems up to the military and official positions.) to the Kokushi; provincial governor (under the ritsuryo system, any of a group of officials, esp. the director), who is in charge of compilation. After that, it is thought that the editing of the submitted reports of each county began based on the ideas and compilation intentions of each country, and the climate record for each country was born. Fudoki has been passed down beyond the time of 1300, and now only five countries have been told. You can see how difficult it is to pass on old records to posterity. The five traditions that have been handed down are “Hitachi”, “Harima”, “Izumo”, “Bungo”, and “Hizen” from the east. Of these five Fudoki, the only one that has been handed down in its entirety is “Izumo no Kuni Fudoki”, and the time of creation and the editor are clear. At the end of the book: 天平五年（735年）二月三十日 勘造 秋鹿郡人; アイカノコオリ 神宅臣金太理; かんやけのおみかなたり 国造帯宇郡大領外正六位上勲十二等 出雲臣広嶋とあり: It can be seen that it was created in 733 by the county priest Kanyake no Omikanatari under the supervision of Izumono Omihiroshima. There is also a theory that it is considered to be a reprint because it has been 20 years since the apology was issued. The other four Fudoki are incomplete, but are treated as valuable materials that tell the story of the time. Among them, “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki” is the only description of the eastern country, and is used as a reference when considering the ancient eastern country. It is thought that Fudoki was created in more than 60 countries nationwide during the Nara period, but nowadays, “Izumo Kuni no Fudoki” (complete), “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki”, “Harima no Kuni Fudoki”, “Hizen no Kuni Fudoki”, It seems that only the five Fudoki of “Bungo no Kuni Fudoki” (part) are reported. The description varies from country to country, but most of the “Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki” is written in splendid sentences with the 46 Pianwens used in Tang (China) and songs written in Manyogana. In addition, since it is the only remaining climate record in the eastern country, it seems to be an indispensable document when considering the situation in the eastern country at that time. It is also peculiar that many Japanese Takeru appear and that there are many descriptions of gods, especially the description of Kashima District, where the great god of Kashima is enshrined. This is related to the theory that the center of compilation was Fujiwara no Umakai-Ko. 昔, 難波の長柄の豊崎の大宮に天の下知ろし食しし天皇（孝徳天皇）の御世の白雉四年に, 茨城の国造 小乙下 壬生連麿みぶのむらじまろ、そして那珂の国造: 大建: 壬生直夫子; みぶのあたひをのこらが, 坂東惣領高向大夫; ばんどうたかむこのまえつきみ, 中臣幡織田（連）大夫; なかとみのはとりだのむらじ達に申し出て, 茨城と那珂の郡からそれぞれ八里と七里, 合計: 十五里（七百余戸）の土地を提供して, 郡家を置いて, 『行方郡』としたらしい. A long time ago, when the emperor of Takeru was patrolled under the heavens and turned north from Kasumigaura, when he passed this country and went to Izumi Kiyoizumi in Tsukino, he cleansed his hands with Shimizu and opened a well with a ball. It was a compliment. This is called Kiyoi of Tama, and it is still in the village of whereabouts. In addition, he traveled by car to the country and offered food to God on the hills of Arahara. At that time, the emperor wanted to see all sides and said to the chamberlain. “The scenery you see while walking out of the car is that the mountain ridges and the sea coves cross each other, undulating and winding. The clouds over the peaks and the fog that sets toward the valley. They are lined up in a stunning arrangement and have a delicate beauty. That’s why the name of this country is called a line-up ridge.” Hisashi Namekata later became known as Namekata. 諺に “立雨たちさめふり, 行方の国” といふ. In addition, this hill was named Arahara because it is a hill that can be seen very high from the surroundings. When I went down this hill, went out to the Omasu River, and climbed the river on a small boat, the paddle broke. Therefore, the river is called Mukajigawa River. It is a river that flows through the border between Ibaraki and Namegata. When I went up the Mukaji River to the county border, a duck was about to fly. As soon as the emperor shot the bow, the duck fell to the ground. That place is called Kamano. The soil is thin and there are no living vegetation. To the north of the field, there is a deep forest where Ichii, Kunugi, Kaede, and Japanese cypress grow densely. Masu Pond there was dug during the time of Tayu; Chief actor in a No play Takamukai. In the north, there is a shrine dedicated to the god of Katori, and the mountains beside it are fertile and densely populated with vegetation. There are sea pine trees and salt-burning algae in the sea where you can see from the ferry west of the county, but there are no rare fish and no whales. There is an old indigenous company in the east of the county, which is called the prefecture’s Gion. Shimizu in the forest is called Oi, and people living nearby come to fetch water and use it for drinks. A large tree stands at the south gate of the county house. The northern branch hangs down until it reaches the ground, and then rises into the sky again. This area used to be a swamp of water, so even now, when it rains for a long time, a puddle can form in the garden of the government building. Tachibana trees are also flourishing in the nearby villages. There is Tega no Sato in the northwest of the county. A long time ago, it was named in memory of Saiki, who lived in this area and was named Tega. To the north of the village is a shrine dedicated to the god of Kashima. The surrounding mountains and fields are fertile and rich in chestnuts, bamboo, and chives. To the north of the village of Oga, there is a village of Nun. It was named after Saiki, who lived in this area a long time ago. The station house Umaya is now located, and it is called the Soun Station. 昔, いはれ（石村）の玉穂の宮に大八洲知ろし食しし天皇 : In the reign of Emperor Keitai, there was a man named Mr. Yahazu, who cleared the valley west of the county house and the reclaimed rice field, and healed the newly reclaimed rice field. At that time, the gods of Yatsu appeared in a flock and stood on the left and right, so they could not cultivate the rice fields. (Popularly, a snake is called the god of the night sword. The shape of the body is a snake, but it has a horn on its head. , The house is destroyed and the descendants are gone. Usually, they live in groups in the field beside the county house.) Unable to see it, Mr. Matachi wore armor, took a halberd, and confronted him. Then he set up a wand to mark the moat at the entrance of the mountain, and said, “From today, I will be a priest, in order to make the mountain above here a dwelling place for gods and the village below to be a rice field where people can make. , I will honor God and celebrate the festival until the generations of my descendants, so please do not worship or resent me.” Since then, the descendants of Matachi have continued to take over this festival for generations to this day, the number of newly reclaimed rice field has increased, and more than ten towns have been reclaimed. 後に, 難波の長柄の豊崎の大宮に天の下知ろし食しし天皇 : In the reign of Emperor Kotoku, Mibu no Murajimaro ruled this valley and built a pond bank. At that time, the god of the Yatsu climbed up to the vertebrate tree by the pond and did not leave easily. Maro said in a loud voice, “The purpose of building the embankment is to save the people. I don’t know if it’s a god of heaven or a god of nation, but please listen to the apology.” The snake ran away when he tried to say, “Knock out visible animals and fish insects without fear.” The pond is now called Shiii no Ike（Next to the old man Ikoi’s house in Tamatsukuri Town Izumi）. There is a vertebrate tree on the edge of the pond, and there is also a well where fresh water comes out, which was taken as the name of the pond. This is the overland station road to Kashima. Odaka no Village is located seven Village south of the county. It was named after Saiki, who used to live in this area and was named Odaka. A pond was built during the time of the Hitachi National Guard, Tagima（当麻）chief actor in a No play, and it is still east of the road. In the mountains west of the pond, there are many vegetation and many indigo plants and monkeys. Whale oka, south of the pond, is a place where whales have come all the way to this point and lie down and die. To the north of the pond, there is a shrine dedicated to the god of Katori. It became the name of the pond because there was a large chestnut tree called Kuriya no Ike. In the village of Aso, hemp used to grow at the water’s edge. The hemp was as thick as bamboo, and was more than one length long. Castanopsis, Chestnuts, Zelkova serrata, and Taxus cuspidata flourish, and ino and monkeys live there. Horses that live in the field are for horseback riding. In the reign of the emperor (Emperor Tenmu), who ate at the Omiya of Kiyomihara in Asuka, the life of the county’s university student, Ohofu no Sato, presented the horse in this field to the imperial court. Since then, it has been called the “Missing Horse”. The horse of Ibaraki no Village is called “Ibaraki no Vintage no Horse”. Kasumi no Sato is located 20 ri south of Gunya. In the old biography, Emperor Keiko, the courtier of Shimousa, when he climbed the hill of Torimi, walked slowly and looked at the country, turned to the east and said, “The blue waves in the sea. You can see this country as soon as it springs up from the red haze that flutters on the land,” said the samurai. From this time on, people came to call it “Human Township”. The shrine in the eastern mountain of the village is full of enoki, camellia, camellia, vertebrate, bamboo, salmon, and arrowheads. The island in the sea west of the village is called Niihari’s island. It was named because if you stand on the island and look far north, you can see the mountains of Tsukuba in Small Tsukuba, the country of Niihari. There is a village where you want to come to Ita, located south of Kasuminosato. A station house is placed at a nearby seaside ferry, and it is called Itarai station house. To the west is a forest of celtis sinensis. This is the place where Omi, the king of Omi King, lived in the reign of Asuka Kiyomihara’s emperor (Emperor Tenmu). Many salt-burning algae, sea pine, surf clams, spicy clams, and clams live in the sea. A long time ago, Takekashima Mikoto was sent to the reign of the Emperor Sujin (Emperor Sujin), who ate at the Mizugaki Palace in Shiki, in order to speak to the raging thieves of the eastern country. When Mikoto set up an inn on the island of Aba, while leading the army to the thieves, he saw smoke as he looked far into the eastern ura of the sea. The soldiers suspected that this was a thief army. Mikoto looked up at the heavens and swore, “If it’s the smoke of a heavenly man, come and cover me. If it’s the smoke of a raging thief, go away and go to the sea.” The smoke flowed far towards the sea. Knowing that he was a thief, he ordered all the soldiers to finish breakfast early, and the army crossed the sea. Meanwhile, Kuzu, Yasakashi, Yatsukushiha, and the chief of the thieves, dug a hole, built a small castle, and lived there. When Mikoto fired his troops and expelled them, he fled to the small castle all at once, closing the gate tightly and standing up. Immediately make a plan, select brave soldiers to hide in the depressions of the mountain, build weapons and arrange them in the beach, line up boats, knit rafts, flip the caps of clothing with clouds, and rainbow the flags. Ama no Torikoto and Ama no Torifue sang and danced the first song on Kishima Island for the first time in seven days and seven nights, and enjoyed playing with the sound of the waves. Hearing this fun song and dance, the thieves came out with their families and men and women, and flocked to the beach and laughed happily. Mikoto had his cavalry block the castle, attacking thieves from behind, capturing them, and setting them on fire to destroy them. The place where I said painfully was the town of Taku (Itarai) now, the place where I said that I would slash normally was the village of Futsuna, and the place where I said that I would slash cheaply was the village of Yasukiri, and I often slash. That is Esaki’s eup. In the sea south of Itarai, there is a shore of about 34 villages; about 132 km. In the spring, men and women come from Kashima and whereabouts to pick up clams, surf clams and various other shellfish. Tohoku no native place is located 15 villages to the northeast of the county. A long time ago, when I visited this town during the procession of the Emperor Takeru, Torihi Torihiko, whose name was Saeki, rebelled against his life and defeated him. He then headed for Yagatano’s Book Palace, but the road was narrow, rugged (rough), and rough, hence the name Toma. The soil in the field is thin, but purple grows. There are also two companies, Katori and Kashima. In the surrounding mountains, there are forests of wild boars, hahaso, chestnuts, and shiba, and many wild boars, monkeys, and wolves live there. To the south of Toma, there is the art capital, Kitsunosato. A long time ago, there were two Kuzu, Kitsuhiko and Kitsuhime. In front of the emperor’s pilgrimage, the princess turned against Mikoto, disobeyed herself, and behaved in a very rude manner, so she was killed with a sword. The princess was terrified and fell down on the side of the road with a white flag, and welcomed the emperor. The emperor mercifully gave her grace and forgave her house. As she goes further on her ride and goes to Onukino’s palace, she takes her sister with her, and she does her true heart on rainy and windy days. I finished it in the morning and evening. The emperor was delighted with his lonely appearance, and his love became a stain, so he called this field Uruhashi Ono no. There is a rice field village to the south of the art capital village. In the reign of Empress Jingu, a person named Kotsuhikoto was sent to Korea three times. It became the name because it was given a rice field for its achievements. The field of Hazumuno no was named after Yuhazu was built in the temporary palace of the emperor of Takeru. There is a branch of the god of Kashima on the seaside north of the field. The soil is thin, and elms, elms, elms, bamboo, etc. are sparsely grown. There are Auka and Oho villages to the south of the rice field village. A long time ago, when the emperor of Takeru stayed at Kazakinomiya in front of the hill of Auka, he built Ohido no on the urabe and connected small boats to go to Gozaisho as a bridge. He named Ohohikara, Oho. Also, Ohotachibana no Mikoto, who was after the emperor of Takeru, came down from Yamato and met the emperor here, so it is called Afuka’s eup. Tanakiyonoi : According to the whereabouts of “Hitachi no kuni Fudoki”, “Hunting under the heavens of Emperor Yamato Takeru and conquering the north of the sea. Fortunately, he faced the water, washed his hands, and prospered the well with balls. He is still in the village of whereabouts and is called Tamakiyoi.” Even though it is a well, it is now like a pond in a garden. According to the monument of “Tamakiyoi” by Mr. Tsutomu KURITA, which stands nearby, it is said that it was dug by the villagers during the famine of Tenmei. 常陸国風土記の記載内容-行方郡-A long time ago, when the emperor of Takeru was patrolled under the heavens and turned north from Kasumigaura, when he passed this country and went out to Shimizu in Tsukino, he cleansed his hands with Shimizu and opened a well with a ball. It was a compliment. This is called Kiyoi of Tama, and it is still in the village of Namegata. “Chinese yam; Nagaimo”, The history is very old and seems to date back to BC. There are records that it was used as a condiment in Yunnan Province, China. It is said to have been introduced to Japan via the Korean Peninsula, and is a traditional nourishing vegetable that has been cultivated since ancient times. There are various names for dioscorea, and it is easy to confuse the types, but botanically it is classified into the yam family, the genus Dioscorea. Of these, “Nagaimo” is edible in Japan, “Natural yam” that grows naturally in the mountains, and “Large Yam” that is cultivated in small quantities in Kyushu and other areas. There are two types of “long yam”, “Ginkgoimo”, and “Tsukuneimo”. The long potatoes are straight and long, and have a lot of water. The latter two types are different in shape from the long potatoes and have strong stickiness. In Honshu, Aomori prefecture, “Ibaraki prefecture”, Tottori prefecture, etc. are the main production areas, and Hokkaido is also a famous production area. The cultivation period of long potatoes is about half a year. It is a rhizome plant that grows up to about 1 m in deep ground. Therefore, it takes a lot of time and effort for both planting and harvesting. At the time of planting, a large machine called a trencher (grooving machine) digs about 140 cm and mixes the red soil on the surface with the black soil in the heart soil to make the soil fine and well-drained. After that, a basket full of seed potatoes is placed on a seedling planting trolley with an engine, and one plant is planted sideways between 23 cm plants suitable for cultivation. At the earliest, planting of one field is completed in one day. Then, mulch for heat retention is put on the embankment, and 3 m columns are buried in the ground at regular intervals to complete. At the time of harvesting, after removing the pipes, mulch, and vines on the ground, the sides of the ridges are dug at least 1 m with Yumbo, and the potatoes in the soil are harvested one by one by hand. After that, the harvested dioscorea opposita is covered with a sheet to prevent the soil from drying, and it is washed, cut, and vacuum packed for 2 days. At the beginning of digging, potatoes（tuber）with a length of nearly 1 m are cut into pieces of about 20 cm each, considering the time and effort of cooking at home. “Each one is perfect in thickness and length, but if you can get 3 to 4 packs, it will be good.” Japanese Yam has an appropriate thickness and length, and there is a high demand for those with smooth and beautiful skin. In soil preparation, a crop rotation system that grows multiple crops in one field is recommended as a countermeasure against continuous cropping obstacles, and it is said that sorghum, a green manure crop, will be used to restore soil fertility when the fields are vacant. In addition, it seems that the direction of the ridges will be remade vertically, horizontally and diagonally each time it is planted. I heard that as a result of intentionally leaving the hard soil and guiding the roots toward the soft soil, straight Japanese yam with beautiful skin grow. Low-acid foods packed in containers and packages are foods that are sealed at room temperature and have a pH of over 4.6 and a water activity of over 0.94, and have been sterilized at 120 ° C for less than 4 minutes. Botulinum food poisoning appears to be caused by ingesting foods containing toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum. It seems to be a serious illness that makes things look double, makes it difficult to apply force to the limbs, and if left untreated, causes dyspnea and is fatal in a short time. Clostridium botulinum is widely present in soil and water. It is very resistant to heat and cannot be sterilized even if it is heated for a long time at about 100 ° C. It grows in a sealed state with very little oxygen, like a vacuum pack, and produces toxins. For this reason, it is necessary to take measures such as heating the sealed food at 120 ° C for 4 minutes or the same method, or refrigerating it. This product is pre-cooled and compatible.

In China, in 2000 BC, Emperor Shennong (a legendary emperor 5000 years ago in ancient China, the ancestor of agriculture who taught farming, is known as the god of peasants and the king of the earth. The world’s oldest pharmaceutical book “Shennong Honzokyo: 365 kinds of plants, animals, and minerals are collected as medicines, which is the same as the number of days in a year. Drugs are classified into three categories, such as lower drug (125 types), middle drug (120 types), and upper drug (120 types) (also called vulgar, middle, and elegant), depending on the strength of the medicinal effect on the drug.” In the Edo period, doctors and peasants worshiped the god of farming. There is a description that it was used for medicinal purposes at the time of (it seems to have been), and it seems that it was cultivated from a very old age. The place of origin is the Yunnan region in southern China, which is thought to have gradually moved northward, propagated from northern China to northeastern China and the Korean Peninsula, and then to Japan.

Low-acid foods packed in containers and packaging: Of the foods distributed at room temperature sealed in containers and packaging, those with a pH of over 4.6 and a water activity of over 0.94 are sterilized at 120 ° C for less than 4 minutes. The thing. Based on Sanitary Food No. 120 dated August 30, 1999, the word “Food that requires refrigeration” is written on the front surface of the container and packaging so that consumers can clearly understand that it is a food that requires refrigeration. The size is easy to understand, and the colors and locations are devised and displayed.

The quality of Japanese yam begins to deteriorate after the surrounding soil is removed by washing with water, so it seems that how quickly it is distributed after washing with water is also an important point for freshness management. Immediately before shipping, it is washed with water, inspected, and packed in a box, and the producer himself loads it into a refrigerated container and ships it directly from the production area in Ibaraki Prefecture.

The South Shinshu area is located at the southern gateway to the prefecture. This area, consisting of Iida City and Shimoina District, is blessed with a mild climate and magnificent nature overlooking the Southern Alps. Iida City is a beautiful castle town called Little Kyoto. The row of apple trees is popular with citizens and tourists. The Tenryu Gorge created by the flow of the Tenryu River is one of the most scenic spots in the beauty of the valley woven by strange rocks. In addition, there are abundant natural resources such as hot springs and valleys. It is also famous as a treasure trove of folk performing arts, such as Shinno’s Snow Festival, Oshika Kabuki, Toyama’s Shimotsuki Festival, and Imada Dolls（Imada Ningyo Theater: Iida City Intangible Cultural Property (designated November 14, 1990) : “Imada Doll” : Nagano Prefecture Selected Intangible Folk Cultural Property (Selected on February 11, 1963) : Location: Tatsue, Iida City）. In terms of industry, in addition to traditional local industries such as Mizuhiki, industries that make use of new cutting-edge technologies such as electrical machinery and precision are growing. It is also blessed with distinctive agricultural products that take advantage of the mild climate, such as pears, oysters, tea, and Japanese beef. In 1889, the six villages of Shimoichida, Ueichida, Yoshida, Izuhara, Oshimayama, and Ushiki at that time merged to form Ichida Village. On the other hand, in 1875, the five villages in Yamabuki and the three villages that were the predecessors of Oshima village merged to form Satomi Village, but in 1881 it was split into Yamabuki Village. It is said that Ichida Village and Yamabuki Village merged on July 1, 1957, and the town name was changed to Takamori Town from Mt. Hontakamori, which connects the two villages at the summit. Surrounded by the Central Alps and the Southern Alps, the Tenryu River runs between Shinshu and Ina Valley. Takamori Town is a terraced town on the west bank of the Tenryu River in the southern part of Ina Valley. Mt. Hontakamori (1,889.8 m), which leads to the Central Alps, rises to the west. Takamori Town gently creates an alluvial fan from this highest point to the east. The rise of the Alps creates a fault, and the excavation of the river eventually creates an alluvial fan. The alluvial fan is also cut by a new fault, becoming like a staircase. In addition, the unique terrain has been created over hundreds of thousands of years, with the river digging into it. The terrain of this terrace has nurtured beautiful and varied nature, and has also provided various benefits to people’s lives. To the east of the town, you can see the 3000 m peaks of the Southern Alps, such as Mt. Senjogatake, Mt. Shiomidake, and Mt. Akaishidake. This mountain range changes color in each season and not only delights the eyes, but also acts as a wall that blocks the space and creates a cohesive landscape (distant view). The terraced town surrounded by two mountain ranges is, so to speak, a large natural garden. The terrain of the town is 9.1 km east-west, 7.6 km north-south, 413-1,889 m above sea level, and 45.36 km2 in area. The town is the birthplace of the regional brand “Ichida Persimmon” that represents Nagano Prefecture. The astringent persimmons harvested in the fall are hung, and the original sweetness (sugar content) in the persimmons is restored by repeating the temperature difference between the morning mist coming from the Tenryu River and the warm winter climate brought about by the long sunshine hours that are one of the longest in Japan. It appears as crystals and is said to be white powdered. The history of its cultivation is said to be over 500 years. Dried persimmon is bite-sized and easy to eat, and its bright candy-colored flesh is covered with fine white powder, which is characterized by its chewy texture and elegant sweetness. At the same time as being a dried fruit with natural sweetness, it is also positioned as a high-class Japanese sweet. “Ichida Persimmon” will be harvested when the autumn leaves are in full bloom and the mountains and trees in the garden turn scarlet and persimmon. “Kaki noren; reputation”, which has been beautifully peeled by a farmer, adds even more beauty to the landscape of autumn leaves. In the latter half of the Edo period, there was a log called “Yakikaki” in Shimoichida Village (currently Takamori Town, Shimoina District) at that time, and as the name suggests, it was baked and sweetened. It is widely known that the “baked persimmon” is delicious even if it is dried and eaten, and in the Taisho era, the village’s attentive farmers started shipping it under the name of “Ichida persimmon”. After that, it gradually spread by grafting to the astringent persimmon, mainly along the Tenryu River coast. In 1952, Nagano Prefecture picked it up as a recommended item, and repeatedly selected excellent strains, designated excellent mother trees, and tested and researched dried persimmon processing technology, and became a nationally famous special product as part of fruit tree cultivation. A specialty product representing South Shinshu, which was registered under the Geographical Indications (GI) Protection System in 2016. Ichida persimmon is unique in its light-colored flesh, small and elegant appearance, chewy texture and elegant sweetness that spreads in the mouth. Ichida persimmon is registered in Nagano Prefecture’s first. GI is a system that registers the names of agricultural, forestry and fishery products that have characteristics linked to the production area together with quality standards, and protects them as a common property of the region. Registered name “Ichida persimmon” “ICHIDA GAKI” “ICHIDA KAKI” Range of production area Iijima-cho and Nakagawa Village registered producers’ group Minami Shinshu Agricultural Cooperative in Iida City, Shimoina District, Nagano Prefecture and Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture Registration date: July 12, 2016. Acquisition of regional collective trademark: “Regional brand” (regional collective trademark) that refines local resources as a brand and strongly appeals the attractiveness and ability of the region to the outside of the region. In October 2006, “Ichida Kaki”, which was jointly applied by JA Minami Shinshu and Shimoina Garden Association, was certified as the first regional brand in the prefecture. It is well known that it is gaining popularity all over the country and is now being exported to overseas and Taiwan and attracting attention. Making Ichida persimmons from cultivation: Ichida persimmons have been used as a preserved food in winter since ancient times and have been eaten as a “tooth firming” for the New Year. Its cultivation and processing continues in the traditional way, but as its value and brand have been recognized in recent years, it has become necessary to supply consumers with better quality dried persimmons. In order to make high quality dried persimmons, it seems that it is most important to use good raw material persimmons as well as processing technology. And, in order to make good raw persimmons, cultivation management is indispensable from the end of the persimmon harvest to the next year’s harvest. In a garden where fertilization, pruning, fruit thinning, etc. are well managed, the sugar content increases and excellent fruits can be produced. On the other hand, tree persimmons that have been poorly managed and whose leaves and fruits have been damaged by pests do not seem to be delicious dried persimmons with low sugar content. In addition, when young persimmons with a green color remain and are processed, quality deterioration such as astringency remains is likely to occur. Management of appropriate fertilization, pruning, fruit thinning, etc. according to the tree vigor. Chemical control to prevent the outbreak of diseases and insects and to grow fruits in a healthy manner. And the harvest is not urgent, and the persimmons that have matured on the tree are processed. The efforts of these farmers are fortunate. Raw persimmons are harvested from early to mid-November. At this time, the persimmon farmer is in a busy season because the harvesting in the field and the peeling work at home are performed in parallel. The whole becomes dark orange and it seems to harvest well-ripened persimmons. Peel the persimmon and hang it on the goodwill, and use sulfur to finish the dried persimmon with a good color. It seems that a peeling machine will peel about 800 kg of persimmons a day. It takes 10 days or more for a farmer with a large amount of peeling, and the finish time of each goodwill is different, so check the weight of each persimmon goodwill in advance and use it as a guide for grated (remove the persimmon from the goodwill). Dry in the Greenhouse or on the second floor of the house for about a month. During the drying period, if there is a lot of humidity, mold is likely to occur, and if it is too dry, it will be difficult to remove the astringency. It is said that they will devise ways to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity by opening and closing windows and adjusting the interval of goodwill while watching the weather. The Iida and Shimoina districts are said to be “Ina Valley” between the Central Alps and the Southern Alps in the east and west, and the Tenryu River runs between them. From the Tenryu River, river fog occurs almost every morning from late autumn to winter. Winters in this area tend to be dry, but the fog that springs up from the Tenryu River and climbs the terraces becomes a natural “humidifier” that keeps the dried persimmons from drying out at once. It is said that it produces a sticky texture. The blessings of nature unique to this region bring us a blessing that we are grateful for. After drying until it weighs about 35% of the weight of the peeled persimmons, remove it from the goodwill and knead the persimmons while observing the degree of drying of each one. If there is a lot of water, dry it in the sun to adjust. Persimmon fir is an important work to push out the water in the center of the persimmon to make a soft dried persimmon without wrinkles and to produce fine powder. Currently, it is done with a drum type machine. Repeatedly laying down the persimmon fir three to four times, a dried persimmon covered with white powder (glucose) is completed. It is a work that requires delicate adjustments and demonstrates the experience of dried persimmon farmers. This is the special dried persimmon “Ichida persimmon”. Recently, due to food hygiene, the scenery of “Kakisudare”, which hangs persimmons on the eaves as in the past, can hardly be seen, but it is still one of the representative traditions of Takamori Town. There are many old cherry trees in Takamori Town. In the spring, you can see wonderful cherry blossoms all over the town, such as the cherry blossoms that are said to have been donated by Minamoto no Yoritomo in Oshimayama Ruriji Temple（Tendai sect）, the cherry blossoms of Takamori Minami Elementary School, and the cherry blossoms of Takamori Junior High School. Seinosuke IMAMURA (1849-1902) Founded Imamura Bank. He is a childhood name, Shukichi. Born in Izuhara Village, Ina District, Shinshu. His father, Kichiemon (second son). The house was a wealthy farmer for generations, but he fell into a difficult life due to his father’s generation, left the house at the age of 16 and went to Yokohama, but was taken back, and in 1867 he went to Yokohama again via Nagoya, a stall, a tobacco shop, Although he failed to do business many times, such as Sazae’s pot-yaki, Western-style liquor store, and tobacco shop, he made a fortune in the market world in Yokohama. He is also the founder of Kakumaru Securities. In 1870, he opened a money changer in Yokohama, later sold heavy cotton in Sakai-cho, and also served as a money changer and stock broker. In 1878 he helped establish the Tokyo Stock Exchange. From April 1883 to January 1886, he accompanied Munemitsu MUTSU to visit Europe and the United States. In 1887, he was a director of the Ryomo Railway, which was founded by Ukichi TAGUCHI and others. Since then, he has participated in railway projects nationwide such as Kyushu Railway, Kansai Railway, Sangu Railway, and Sanyo Railway, and was called the Railway King. 1888 Founded Imamura Bank (later Daiichi Bank). A person who is said to be a stranger in the business world. During the Industrial Revolution, which took place from the Sino-Japanese War to the Russo-Japanese War, he made a huge fortune in the railway business. He also serves as a consultant on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, a director of Sanyo Railway, and a director of the Imperial Hotel. He passed away at the age of 54. His friends included business people such as Eiichi Shibusawa, Genichiro Fukuchi, Kihachiro Okura, Zenjiro Yasuda, Takashi Masuda, Kaichiro Nezu, Yanosuke Iwasaki, Hikoichi Motoyama, Kyohei Magoshi, and Hikotaro Abe. Eiichi Shibusawa has established a stock exchange. His son, Shigezo Imamura, married Mrs. Toshiko, Tadazumi Nitta’s second daughter. He worked hard from a young age without losing poverty, was involved in the founding of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the predecessor of the current Tokyo Stock Exchange, and established the Imamura Bank, which was regarded as a model bank in Japan. He is also involved in railway projects all over Japan and is known as the “King of Japanese Railways” and has contributed significantly to the development of Japanese transportation. He was involved with many politicians and business people in Japan at the dawn of the Meiji era, and can be said to be the person who created the structure of the business world at that time. In addition, Seinosuke cherished the village of Izuhara (now Takamori Town Izuhara) where he was born and raised, and his birthplace. One manifestation of this is the dedication of the banner flag that Munemitsu MUTSU voluntarily struck to Izuhayao Shrine. Izuhara Lion Dance Preservation Society: In April 1918, when the lion dance of Koyasu Shrine was invited and dedicated to the Izuhaya Shrine relocation festival, a ceremony to establish a new lion dance took place. It originated from the dedication to. Okame Odori A graceful lion dance with a fox dance. Although it has been suspended and revived several times in order to change the postwar society, it seems that it is difficult to pass it down due to the aging of skilled workers and the difficulty of successors. From ancient times, the persimmon blinds that were seen here and there in the fall have been regarded as one of the traditions of Ina Valley, but recently, with the modernization of agriculture, it seems that this tradition is becoming less common. At Tenryu Sangyo Co., Ltd., the harvest begins around October 20th, when autumn is deepening and the red-colored Ichida persimmons grow on the branches. Persimmons cultivated in a field of about 3 ha are taken from low altitudes, and the high ones are the last. If they are grown at the same altitude and in the same environment, the harvest and processing will be at the same time, and it will be very difficult to handle. Harvested persimmons are stripped from the right ones according to their maturity. 18 persimmons that have been peeled are hung by hand and dried in a room that is not exposed to direct sunlight. At the beginning of peeling, dry it to a high altitude, and then gradually dry it to the middle, lower and lower tiers. The drying period is about one month, and during this time, pay attention to the weather, open and close the windows while watching the state of the persimmon, and if it is raining or humid, use a dehumidifier or a fan to prevent mold from growing and it will be too dry. At times, cover it with cold sand so that it will not be exposed to the sun or wind, and finish it with the utmost care. According to the producers, it depends on the weather. If it rains a lot and the temperature is high, mold will start and it seems to be very careful. After being dried for a month, Ichida persimmons are carefully cut and then turned around with a machine to perform “persimmon fir” work. Turn it with a machine, wait 2-3 days, turn it again, and repeat this 3 times. When the surface dries, fructose comes out and a dried persimmon covered with white powder is completed. The flesh is a beautiful candy color and has a chewy texture like yokan. It has a sugar content of 65 to 70%, and the elegant sweetness of natural sugar is wonderful. HARA, the representative, has been working on product development for more than 20 years as a “mottainai project”, thinking that “persimmon skin”, ripe persimmons, and non-standard products produced in the manufacturing process of “Ichida persimmon” can be reused. More than 20 years ago, I focused my wisdom on the persimmon skin that appears a lot in the process of making “Ichida persimmon”, thinking that it was “mottainai”. We then propose to dry it into powder and use it as a raw material for confectionery such as red bean paste and karinto. We also noted that the nutritional value of persimmons is more abundant in the skin than in the fruit. In addition to sweets, the representative seems to be always thinking about what they can be used for, such as “Ichida noodles”, which is made by kneading powder into udon dough, and pasta, which is currently under development. The new product “Cider made from persimmon skin syrup” has a refreshing carbonic acid and a slight sweetness of persimmon. The persimmon skin is boiled down and squeezed, and although it takes time, it seems that he is satisfied with the finish. As the name suggests, “Noshi persimmon” is processed into Noshi Kaki while keeping the deliciousness of “Ichida persimmon”. If you put it in, you will notice that it goes well with unexpected ingredients. At Tenryu Sangyo Co., Ltd., we are particular about additive-free and coloring-free products, and value the original taste of the ingredients. “Dried fruits” using fruits from Nagano prefecture such as Ichida persimmon, pear, peach, apple, carrot, burdock, corn, tomato, sweet potato, , etc. We are confident in the taste and safety of “Vegetable senbei; Japanese cracker”. It contains only starch, a little sugar and salt, so if you dissolve it in hot water, you can use it for your child’s baby food. Ichida persimmons and processed vegetable products are sold directly by Tenryu Sangyo. Closed on Sundays and public holidays. It is open every day from November to the end of December.

Green soybeans are also known as “soybean grown on balk” (planted to reinforce rice field ridges. Strong roots make narrow paths strongly), and have been planted in rice field ridges for a long time. It seems that it has been eaten for private use. “Green soybeans” refers to immature soybeans. Its history is surprisingly old, and it was already eaten in the Nara and Heian periods about 1500 years ago, and in the Edo period, it seems that people bought boiled branches and ate them while walking. Also, it seems that the name “edamame” was given from the sale with branches at that time.

Agricultural corporation system: Tax system Income distribution reduces taxation on business owners. In addition, there is a high possibility that income earners will be able to receive a salary income deduction by converting the remuneration into salary income. In addition, there are advantages such as application of corporate tax with fixed rate taxation, deduction of bonuses for employees and officers, deduction of retirement salary, and 7-year carry-forward deduction of loss (only for corporations with blue-form return). Agricultural land-owning qualified corporations, which are corporations established in accordance with the Agricultural Cooperatives Law (agricultural cooperative corporations), are not subject to business tax as a special case. In addition, in the case of a corporation eligible for agricultural land ownership, a special deduction for capital gains of 8 million yen is applied when the reserve for strengthening the agricultural management base is applied or when the agricultural land in the agricultural land area is acquired by the arrangement of the agricultural committee. I can receive it. Only certified farmers seem to have a higher lending limit for institutional funds than individuals. In addition, you can receive unsecured and unguaranteed loans by facilitating Super L funds, and there is a high possibility that you can use some other subsidies and subsidy systems. In addition, by applying social insurance and labor insurance, it is possible to improve the welfare of agricultural workers. Then, by establishing work rules and clarifying work conditions, employment stability will improve. Agricultural land ownership rationalization corporation invests farmland in kind to reduce the burden of acquiring agricultural land (agricultural production corporation investment training business). Last but not least, the incorporation will require double-entry bookkeeping, and the preparation of financial statements such as the balance sheet (B / S) and income statement (P / L) will be essential. It will show externally that it is performing steady financial management, and it seems that it will be possible to raise interest in the creditworthiness of financial institutions and business partners.

【Product name】

Small onion (ca 4 cm in diameter)

【Type】

Allium cepa “pekorosu”

【Producing area】

Tanno Town, Kitami City, Hokkaido (JA Kitamirai)

【Origin of name】

It seems that a small onion, which was called “Pecolas” in the colonies of Western European countries, entered Japan and was called by the sword.

【Major features】

JA Kitamirai was born in 2003 by the merger of eight JAs. At that time, the “Kitamirai Onion Promotion Association” was established by gathering the onion promotion associations that existed in each agricultural cooperative. Due to thorough production control, it has become the largest onion producing area in Japan, but on December 16, 2021, the JA was evaluated for its stable production and management. The “Kitamirai onion Promotion Association” consisting of producers from Pal System（It is a coined word that combines pal and system, and seems to have the meaning of “individual participation creates great cooperation.” “Better things at a reasonable price” seems to be the idea of Pal system. It seems that union members, producers, distributors, sellers, etc. are aiming to provide safe and secure products and services by paying appropriate costs without falling into unreasonable low price competition.）is direct production areas (Kitami City, Kunneppu Town, Oketo Town) will be the highest award at the 60th Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Festival held by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Was selected. The Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Festival is sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and has reached its 60th anniversary last year. It seems that the aim is to increase public awareness, improve the technology of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and increase the motivation for management development. The highest award, the Emperor’s Cup, is determined from the 345 points that received the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award at commendation events over the past year, and is highly innovative as an award given to each group (or individual) from 7 categories such as agriculture and livestock. The Kitamirai Onion Promotion Association seems to have won the award in the gardening category. The Kitamirai Agricultural Cooperative is the former 8JA in the Okhotsk jurisdiction of Hokkaido (Onneyu, Rubeshibe Tomebe, Oketo, Kunneppu, Ainonai, Kamitokoro, Kitami, Tanno). Is an agricultural cooperative that was created by merging on February 1, 2003. In prayer for the bright future of the Kitami Basin, which is the foundation of the former 8JA union members, it is said that “Kitami” and “Mirai” were combined and named “Kitamirai”. In the Kitami Basin, which faces Daisetsuzan National Park Asahidake to the west and Akan National Park Oakandake to the south, the Tokoro River, which originates from the Daisetsu Mountains, and its tributary, Mukagawa, cross. The production base is the fertile and fertile land. Therefore, most of the agricultural and livestock products in Hokkaido are produced, and in particular, “Onions” have established themselves as the number one producer in Japan. Dairy is the main industry in the jurisdiction, and some farmers are engaged in breeding Japanese beef, fattening hybrid cattle, and raising dairy cattle. The number of dairy farmers is decreasing year by year, and the number of dairy farmers in the first year of Reiwa was 137, a decrease of about 40% compared to the beginning of the merger, but there was no significant change in raw milk production and it decreased slightly. On the other hand, the amount of raw milk produced per household is on the rise. In addition to the Kitamirai (Oketo Town, Tokoro District) nursing and training center (48 members, 860 heads: In those days), there are seven TMR centers, each of which is organized with 6 to 7 units, for a total of 45 units. I have subscribed. It is said that the TMR center is not a large center but is composed and operated by people who are familiar with each other. Since the temperature and rainfall were stable throughout the year in 2019, the quality and yield of grass and dent corn（Zea mays var. Indentata: A type of field corn with a high content of soft starch. Reid’s Yellow Dent was developed by Mr. James L. Reid, a farmer in central Illinois. The sides of the grain consist of a hard starch layer and the crown consists of a soft starch layer. As the grain matures, the soft part contracts to form a dent in the crown, which looks like a horse tooth. It is mainly used for starch (cornstarch) production, feed, and in recent years as a raw material for “bioethanol; vegetable ethyl alcohol（C2H6O）” production.）were both high, so he said he had high expectations for future milk production. In addition, the business environment has been favorable because it was supported by stable high individual prices and milk prices throughout the year. Seems to be supporting the company. In recent years, the transportation industry has requested revisions to livestock transportation charges from outsourced private companies in a situation where it is difficult to carry out smooth operations due to chronic shortages of drivers such as improving long working hours and aging drivers. It is said that the situation continued to be extremely difficult for stable livestock transportation operations, such as the previous day’s delivery to the livestock market and livestock transportation on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. With the merger of JA in February 2003, all four existing livestock trucks (hereinafter referred to as “cars”) were sold, and all livestock transport operations were outsourced to three private companies to set a unified JA fee. However, it seems that the cost has been reduced. However, in consideration of the profitability of the carrier, although the price was raised by the price revision in 2008, one private company withdrew in 2009, and one company seems to have withdrawn in 2013. Since then, only one company has been engaged in transportation operations, and in 2014, the price of crude oil soared, and in February 2019, the price was revised due to soaring labor costs. Under these circumstances, we visited nearby private transportation companies and requested cooperation for outsourcing, but it was difficult for all transportation companies to secure personnel, and due to their unfamiliarity with handling creatures such as cows, they were always carriers. Seems to have come to the conclusion that it is difficult to prepare. After the merger of JA, the transportation area is wide and it takes about 70 km from the dairy farmer at the eastern end to the dairy farmer at the western end, and it may take a considerable amount of time just to collect the cows, which is one of the reasons why the contractor cannot be found. It seems there was. In addition, it has become increasingly difficult to meet the urgent demands of union members, such as moving abandoned cows. Therefore, when looking at future livestock transportation, as a result of discussions on whether to enter the Hokuren truck business or procure a carrier in the jurisdiction and hire a driver to transport livestock, from April 2nd year of the Reiwa. It is said that the former “Hokuren Truck Kunneppu Office” will be established and a new livestock transportation business will be carried out. Hokuren has little knowledge about transportation when actually starting business, and since it is necessary to meet various requirements up to business establishment registration, Hokuren regarding settings such as office, parking lot, procedure, vehicle management, operation management, etc. With the cooperation of the Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives and related companies, preparations were made and the kunneppu office was opened. At the same office, monthly transportation to specialized markets for dairy cows and beef cattle, and transportation for calves, breeding cows, multiparous cows, abandoned cows and various types of cows to be auctioned every Tuesday. It seems that it will be necessary. It is also responsible for the movement of abandoned cattle and cattle between farmers, which occur two to three times a week. In addition, there are five public ranches in Kitami City, Kunneppu City, and Oketo Town, and each producer can deposit them at the ranch of the relevant municipality from May to October, so 1000 in late May 2020. Cattle over the head were ranched. Regarding these transportation operations, it seems that it has become possible to carry out transportation operations more efficiently than before, because transportation plans can be made by adjusting drivers within the office. The driver is an associate employee of JA Kitamirai, and the working hours are 7 hours (1 hour break time) from 5 am to 9 pm. On the day of the livestock market, we will head to the market after collecting cattle, so we have to work early in the morning. However, it seems that the start of business will not be extremely early because it is mainly moved to the garden except on the market day. At the beginning of the business, we needed a driver with abundant driving experience, so we asked two people to be seconded from the transportation company of the fruit and vegetable business partner, and at that time, four drivers including two JA associate staff carried out the transportation business. It was done. In addition, since seven staff members in this JA have obtained a large driver’s license, it seems that they have taken a system to respond in the event of an unforeseen situation. According to the business plan of 2020, the transportation business started in April 2020, and now it is engaged in each specialized market, handling of abandoned cows, collection of first-born cows, entry and exit to public ranches, movement between dairy farmers, etc. It seems that he was going. Depending on the number of applicants, we may request a subcontractor, but although we are unfamiliar with it, we have been working to meet the needs of union members. Among them, as a merit after introduction, until now, dispatching vehicles (securing transport vehicles) has always been an issue, but since it has become possible to transport livestock by coordination within the JA Livestock Department, it is also possible to respond to the requests of union members. It is possible to respond quickly. On the other hand, it seems that he is always worried about whether he can always secure a certain number of drivers because the nationwide shortage of drivers is not solved, and considering the risk of traffic accidents while driving. In March, just before the opening of the Kunneppu office, the introduction of four 7-ton transport vehicles, each of which can carry about 10 first-pregnant cows, and the replacement of official vehicles (used vans) from JA led to the standard number of offices. It was decided to own at least 5 units. However, the income and expenditure as a business establishment is expected to remain severe for several years from the operating year, judging from the number of years of amortization. In the future, we will continue to hold discussions with private transportation companies while proceeding with the current system, and if possible, we will be able to respond to the requests of union members as much as possible while considering the direction of complete entrustment to private companies. It is said that it will be prepared. In addition, he said that he would like to keep in mind “safe driving” so that livestock transportation business can be carried out smoothly, work on livestock transportation business, and eventually establish a sustainable livestock industry. From 2018 to 2019, the jurisdiction newly established a refrigerated storage facility for onions and a collection and shipping facility. This is part of a plan to consolidate seven facilities in the jurisdiction into five. I heard that it is a huge facility with an area of 14,700 m2 and a daily processing capacity of 400 tons. The onions processed here are placed on trucks and JR containers and shipped to markets nationwide. In response to recent changes in consumer demand, it is said that it has become possible to ship 10 kg cardboard in addition to the main 20 kg cardboard. By collecting a large amount of onions in one place, it is possible to prepare onions of various standards, and it is also flexible to respond appropriately to market needs. Agricultural cooperatives have invested themselves to build a stable supply chain, although subsidies from the national government are also used for huge facility investment. The scale of each farmer is small, but they are exerting their strength by gathering them. Introducing Tanno Town, Kitami City, the production center of Pekoros. The area around No. 2 Station Tanno, which was established in 1892, was called “Nukkesi”, which means the end of the field in the Ainu language, so the name of the station was changed to “Tanno”. A town that existed in Tokoro District under the jurisdiction of the Abashiri branch office in Hokkaido, it was newly established and merged with Kitami City, Tokoro Town, and Rubeshibe Town on March 5, 2006 to become Kitami City. This seems to be the origin of the town name. Located almost in the center of the Abashiri branch office, it is famous as the easternmost town of the Kitami Basin, which is about 40 km inland from the Okhotsk coast. In terms of latitude, it will be about the same latitude as Marseille in France, Perugia in Italy, and Milwaukee in the United States. 143 degrees 50 minutes to 144 degrees 4 minutes east longitude 43 degrees 47 minutes to 43 degrees 57 minutes north latitude. The town flag is centered on the rich earth and peace with the green ground color, the snowflake of the northern country and the development of the 10-character district in the town with the white 10 corners surrounding the town emblem, and the vitality of the townspeople with the red town emblem. Each symbol of the “Agricultural Soldiers（1904 Opened Hiushinai-Bihoro Road. The Russo-Japanese War begins (more than 200 people were mobilized from Tanno). The Tondenhei system is over.）” who laid the foundation for pioneering with a golden pentagon is used. It seems that people lived in Hatano 10,000 years ago (pre-earthenware era). In 1856, Mr. Takeshiro Matsuura recorded that “there was an Ainu Kotan (village) in Nutsukeshi (now Tanno Town, character Chushi).” The history of the town began on June 7, 1897, when the agricultural soldiers arrived. It refers to indigenous soldiers who send soldiers to remote areas, usually carry out military training while farming, and fight as an army organization when the war begins. In China, it is known as a system that was actively practiced from the Han dynasty to the Ming dynasty. There is a fact that their activities have created a vast and orderly American-style plot suitable for current land use in Hokkaido, especially for livestock farming and large-scale farming. Above all, parcel allocation is still applied not only to rural areas but also to cities. There is no doubt that it is a treasure of Japan that Hokkaido holds its position as a food base. It must be remembered that there is a large-scale agricultural management based on such parcels as the basis. The Tanno Town area of Kitami City in eastern Hokkaido is known as the town of the sun, which is cool and has very long daylight hours. It is characterized by fertile soil and boasts the highest onion production in Japan. Pekoros is a general term for small onions with a diameter of about 3 to 4 cm, and is also known as small onions. There are originally small varieties and those made smaller by cultivating yellow onions（Kanna’s onions, which have the longest hours of sunshine and less rainfall in Japan, grow in the sun. When the brass-colored thin skin is peeled off, the inside is white. The balls are tight and spicy raw, but when heated, they become very sweet. ）in an overcrowded state, and there is no particular distinction. From the beginning of July, the root cutting work of the very early varieties of onion “Yellow onion” started. Root cutting is the process of cutting the roots of onions that grow underground to stop the growth of onions with a mechanical blade. It is said that it will be done for the purpose of improving quality, such as preventing deformation due to enlargement of onion balls, preventing cracking and peeling, and promoting coloring of demon skin. It is also a work done before putting onions into a steel container with a harvesting machine such as an onion picker or harvester. After the root cutting work, the dead onions will be harvested from around the end of July, sorted at the fruit sorting plant, and shipped to various parts of the country at any time. The onions produced by JA Kitamirai include Kitamirai No. 3, Okhotsk No. 1, Kita maple2000, and Super Kita maple. The characteristics of Yellow Onion are divided into Goku Wase, Wase, and Naka Okute according to the difference in growth period, and it seems that there are differences in storability and taste. Goku Wase is fresh and has little pungency. Naka Okute seems to have the characteristic of increasing spiciness and storability. Now, back to the story of Pekoros. The shipping time is scheduled to be from the end of August to the end of February of the following year. It is difficult to harvest mechanically, and many are carefully hand-harvested one by one. Therefore, it is difficult to plant in a large area, and the production of precious mini onions is limited (15 to 30 g per onion, about 250 g for normal onions). Why don’t you make the best use of its size and use it for cooking as a whole? Boiled stew, pot-au-feu（It has the meaning of “fired pot” in French and is one of the typical home-cooked dishes in France. Beef in chunks in a pot or kettle, spices in vegetables and simmered for a long time.）, pickles, and oven-baked as a side dish of steak, browsed from the homepage that the specifications are good for various cooking purposes.

It seems that pekoros is generally grown by a special cultivation method in which yellow onions are overcrowded so that they are as small as 3 cm in diameter. It seems that 160,000 to 180,000 or more seedlings are manually planted per roll (about 990 m2, if this value is divided by √2, 37.464 m) in the cold winter season. After growing to a certain extent, it seems that some of the leaves will be cut off so that they can be exposed to light. Although it is small in size, it has a higher sugar content than ordinary onions and has a strong sweetness.

In Kitami City, which has the highest onion production in Japan in the midwinter with a maximum temperature of -5 ℃, it seems that onion sowing and laying down on the nursery greenhouse will start from the middle of February 2022. There are hundreds of holes in the nursery box for growing seedlings, and it seems that the soil for seedling cultivation and the spherically processed seeds for sowing are sown in each hole using a sowing machine. When the seedling raising boxes are lined up in a nursery house, they germinate in about two weeks, and then in the spring, they can be grown until they are transplanted to a field where the snow has disappeared.

Unlike ordinary onions, it is difficult to harvest by machine, and many of them are harvested by hand, so it is difficult to cultivate them in a large area, and the limited production of Pekoros in Tanno Town is valuable. Also, the impression is that it is softer and less spicy than ordinary onions. The size of one piece is a little over 20g, and it seems that there are about 210 to 220 pieces in a 5kg box. About 8 to 9 onions weigh the same for a typical onion.
