Strawberries continue to breathe even immediately after harvesting, and are a rare fruit that produces very little C2H4 (CH2=CH2: Plant hormone; Synthesized via 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid with methionine as a precursor) and does not react to ethylene. Mildew growth suppression is achieved by storing strawberries in CA at a carbon dioxide concentration of 10-15% and at a temperature of about 2°C. Excellent agricultural products are the result of efforts using organic fertilizers, and are safe and secure for consumers. Since the end of the war, farmers in Hokota City, where greenhouse cultivation has been thriving, have been supporting us from the foundation of Japanese agriculture.


Organic fertilizers are mainly derived from plants and animals, such as grass, oil cake, chicken manure, cow manure, and fish bone meal. When organic fertilizers are mixed into soil, they are decomposed by the microorganisms in the soil and begin to turn into nitrogen(N), phosphorus(P), potassium(K), etc., which are absorbed by the hair roots of plants. Because of this, they are not immediately effective, so I've heard that it takes several days for the effects to appear.

The Japan-Indonesia Economic Partnership Agreement has been signed between the two countries on cooperation in a wide range of fields such as liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, movement of natural persons, energy and mineral resources, intellectual property, and improvement of business environment. Under the agreement, it will come into effect on July 1, 2008. HE Heri Akhmadi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Indonesia to Japan and others visited Hokota City Hall in Ibaraki Prefecture on March 18, 2022 to deepen exchanges in fields such as agriculture and education, and met with Mayor Kishida. It seems. As of February 2022, 544 people are living in Hokota, where agriculture is flourishing, including accepting technical intern trainees from the country. At the meeting, opinions were exchanged on the actual situation of the trainees. Akhmadi said, “I wish I could deepen the cooperative relationship with Hokota City in agriculture and education.” He positions the acquisition of Japanese as important as a preparation for the trainees who come to Japan, and hopes that he will cooperate by dispatching instructors to educational institutions. As part of that, it seems that they have shown cooperation for a friendship city tie-up between local governments. Mayor Kishida seems to have agreed, “There are more Indonesian people in the city, so I would like to continue to have a connection.” At the same time, we are promoting special products such as melons and sweet potatoes, which boast the highest agricultural output by municipality in Japan. Indonesia is the ally of ASEAN and its headquarters is located in Jakarta. It is a leader in both name and reality in Southeast Asia, which is developing rapidly. In 2011, the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono administration announced the master plan for large-scale infrastructure development plans, “Economic Development Acceleration / Expansion Master Plan (MP3EI)”. By increasing the nominal GDP by 2025 by about 6 times compared to 2010, it has set a high goal of becoming one of the world’s 10 largest economies. However, the plan is scheduled for 2015, along with six corridors running through the archipelago, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali-Nusa Tungara, and Papua-Marc, along with ICT, oil and gas, and steel. It was in the name of developing 22 major economic activities such as transportation vehicles. The investigation of the master plan began in May 2011, and the plan was approved by the steering committee of the Japanese and Indonesian government ministers in October 2012. By arranging sub-centers around Jakarta, the Jakarta metropolitan area as of 2030 with the goal of shifting from a centralized structure in the central city area of Jakarta to a multi-polar decentralized structure, alleviating traffic congestion and improving disaster prevention resistance. City vision is stipulated. In addition to the city vision, the overall plan for infrastructure development that the Jakarta metropolitan area should achieve by 2020 and the identification of 45 priority infrastructure projects, of which 20 early implementation projects that should be implemented early will be promoted. It was mentioned. In addition, the Indonesian economy is recovering in the headwind of the new coronavirus, and the inflation rate is also on a moderate upward trend. However, according to a recent survey, the economic growth rate in 2020 is -4.5%, which is the lowest after the war due to the influence of the new corona. Going back, the economic growth rate in 2019 is as low as -0.7%. This was a big negative due to the impact of the new Corona in the first quarter of 2019 after the decline due to the reaction to the introduction of the consumption tax in the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition, the economic growth rate in 2018 was 0.2%, the lowest in the last four years. Don’t forget to ask. According to the Rokko Regional Office Union Fire Department in Ibaraki Prefecture, a boat carrying two men who were conducting a water quality survey on Lake Hinuma overturned about 700 m off the south bank around 3:00 pm on February 6, 2022. It seems that a man walking along the lakeshore found men who were caught in a boat and asked for help, and asked a nearby fisherman to help him by phone. The two went to rescue on a fishing boat and cooperated to pull up the men. Unfortunately, one person died in the accident, and one was diagnosed with hypothermia but survived. At the time of the accident, the wind was strong and high waves were rising, and the temperature was low. At the presentation ceremony held at the same station in Awa, the city, the chief firefighter thanked the two men who carried out rescue operations under adverse conditions, saying, “Neither of them could have been saved without a prompt response from the two.” is doing. They told officials that they couldn’t pretend they didn’t know as a person. On March 7, we presented a letter of appreciation to two men in Minowa, Hokota City, for their achievements in saving lives in a water accident. Pure Green Agri® Co., Ltd. seems to be making various efforts to maintain the quality of agricultural products. It seems that the safety of agricultural products is ensured by sharing technical information on a daily basis, improving the level of each union member, and conducting quality inspections once a week and a variety review meeting. It owns a vast farm of over 50ha and seems to be confident in its supply. I hear that you are particular about providing a stable supply of high-quality vegetables and fruits.

Pure Green Agri seems to have acquired Hokota City’s original GAP (Good Agricultural Practice) and “Hokomaru GAP” certification. It seems that Hokomaru GAP visits union members’ homes to perform audits and guidance. In addition, I hear that each union member undergoes a pesticide residue inspection and soil inspection at least once a year. It seems that he participates in pesticide training and receives guidance on prevention of accidents caused by pesticides and proper use. In addition, the “cultivation management table” is published once a month on the website. In the cultivation management table, the house number cultivated from sowing to shipping, the fertilizer (chemical / organic) used there, and the name and amount of pesticides are described. You can easily access it from the QR code on the wrapping film. I hear that they are trying to grow safe and secure vegetables by disclosing information openly without hiding it. It seems that traceability is also in place.

It’s not too sweet and it seems like you want to bring it to your mouth one after another. “やよいひめ” : Application No. 14083 Date of application 2001/11/21 Date of publication of application 2002/03/25.

Since the flesh is a little firm, I got the impression that the texture with a moderate texture was comfortable. The fruits are slightly elongated cones, slightly larger and relatively uniform. I think the two producers have a good reputation for growing strawberries in the production area and are famous. Now, let me introduce the place where the producer’s field is located. “Hokota City, Ibaraki Prefecture,” Located in the Rokko region in the southeastern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, it is one of the leading agricultural areas in Japan, blessed with a vast Pacific Ocean and abundant green land. Agriculture, which takes advantage of the flat terrain and mild climate, is a key industry and a food supply area for the entire metropolitan area. Not only fruits such as melons and strawberries, which are famous nationwide. Japanese mustard spinach, spinach, mizuna greens, tomato, carrot and other vegetables, which are known all over the country for many items. Oodo’s Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn(Indian soapberry): City natural monument – The light candy-colored fruit is impressive. When peeled, a black seed appears from inside. The seeds are used for the black balls on the wings of the New Year play battledore and shuttlecock. The real skin was used as a detergent in the past. That’s because when you rub it in water, bubbles form and it’s suitable for removing dirt. Minowa : ‘Tokushuku Castle: Designated as a city historic site’, Built by Mr. Tokushuku’s first Chikamoto-Ko at the end of the Heian period. He had been Shimotsuke no jo (local official for the Shimotsuke Province) before, but, by his merit of hunting down TAIRA no Masakado-Ko, he was promoted to Jushiinoge (Junior Forth Rank, Lower Grade) and appointed to the post of kokushi (provincial governors) for the Shimotsuke and Musashi Provisions as well as Chinju-fu shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Defense of the North) and increased his power. After passing through the castle monument, climb the stairs at the entrance, and you will see a waist from the southwest to the south on your right. When you climb the stairs, you will find the main shrine, the Inari Shrine, the stone monument of Tokushuku monument to the memorial service, and the Hokyointo. etc. Father Narimoto Kashima-Ko is the 7th generation from Taira no Kunika(Takamochi did not return to Kyoto after he served out his term, and his sons Kunika filled the post of Hitachi no daijo (Senior Secretary of Hitachi Province) and Yoshimasa of Chinju-fu shogun (Commander-in-Chief of the Defense of the North)), who follows the tradition of Emperor Kanmu, and governs Kashima District at the will of the Hitachi Daijo clan.

From Agriknowledge, Registration date August 27, 2019, Gunma Prefectural Agricultural Technology Center (Nishiobokata Town, Isesaki City) Research Report, Page 16, Abstract, Strawberry variety “Yayoihime STRAWBERRY” Cheap and simple facility cooling to seedling raising greenhouse As a method, we examined the effect of roof sprinkling using the heat of vaporization of water sprinkled from the sprinkling tube installed on the roof of the green house. By sprinkling the roof of the nursery house during the daytime on a sunny day, it was possible to suppress the rise in the temperature inside the house by an average of about 2 ° C. In the year when the temperature in early September was normal or above normal, the flower bud differentiation of strawberries was promoted by watering the roof, the harvest start time was earlier, and the yield within the year increased. The G-Analyze & PR team analyzes agricultural and livestock products produced in Gunma prefecture for ingredients related to health that are attracting a lot of attention from consumers, conveys them to consumers, and reflects consumer reactions in production sites and technical guidance. It seems to be an effort to make it. It is composed of staff involved in test research, sales promotion, and production promotion of agricultural and livestock products, centered on the Gunma Prefectural Agricultural Administration Department.

In July 2010, the Pure Green Agri Cooperative was certified by Hokomaru GAP. The contents of process control are accurately recorded in a wide range of areas such as correct fertilizer management and use, safe pesticide use, safety management of agricultural workers, and safety of residual pesticides at least once a year. While providing appropriate guidance and advice, certification will be given only to businesses that are recognized as appropriate. Based on the records, if it leads to the improvement of agricultural work, it will lead to cost reduction and quality improvement, the evaluation of the production area will increase, and the price and transaction volume will increase. We apply organic fertilizers and work on safe and secure agriculture.

It has a high sugar content and a good taste. The pericarp is bright red, and the fruits are large and delicious even in the latter half of the harvest. The skin is hard and has a long shelf life. In addition, it is highly transportable. The variety name “YAYOIHIME STRAWBERRY” is Yayoi (Mars is the god of military and farming in ancient Rome. In ancient Rome, March is the month when the climate improves and military action begins, and at the same time, farming. It seems that it was the month when the strawberry began. Therefore, it seems that the ancient Romans praised the god Mars every March. It is said that March became March as the origin of the word.) After March. We hope that the excellent characteristics and abilities of this variety will be exhibited, and that Yayoi has historically meant the origin of agricultural culture, and that this variety will be the starting point and driving force for strawberry production in Gunma Prefecture.

In order to conduct fair elections, based on Article 181 of the Local Autonomy Law (Law No. 67 of 1947), a council-based executive body independent from the mayor established in prefectures and municipalities. Based on the regulations, manage the affairs related to the election of the ordinary local government, the country, other local governments and other public bodies and the affairs related thereto-Article 7 of the Public Offices Election Law (Law No. 100 of 1950): Election Control Ensuring the fairness of voters-When you turn 18, you have the right to choose a representative. Lamentation, seriousness, and generational disparity at the abnormally low voter turnout of the generation with children. Inheritance to public opinion where Japanese ignorance prevails.

There is a record that Dainichizuka on Mt. Kono was presented during a land survey by Ina Bizennokami Tadatsugu(1550-1610: Local expert ﹦Agricultural administration bureaucrat ≈ 地方巧者(農政官僚))during the Kan'ei era (1624-1643), and it is said that there was already a zelkova tree there at that time. In the Meiji era, Iinuma Elementary School was built on the site, and in 1978, the site was left as land owned by Katori Shrine within the grounds of Ishige Nishi Community Center, where it remains to this day. Years of wind and rain have caused the mound's fill to wash away, exposing the zelkova roots, and although a hollow has developed around the base, the tree is in excellent health. The trunk circumference is 520cm at its eye level. The 1600s marked the end of an age of war and the beginning of an era of large-scale development and the expansion of cultivated land. In the 1700s, the glory of the Genroku era came to an end and a period of disasters followed. The Shogunate's management also became increasingly difficult, and various reforms were carried out, including the Kyoho Reforms. In the 1800s, social contradictions became even more serious, leading to the opening of the country under external pressure and the Meiji Restoration.


【Product name】

Yellow core cabbage

【Type 】
Brassica rapa var. pekinensis
【Production area】
Konoyama, Joso City, Ibaraki Prefecture (Ibaraki Prefectural Horticultural Association)
【Origin of the name】
Isn't it named for its low-temperature heading properties, few physiological disorders, and the gorgeousness of place names and products?
【Main features】
The Kinugawa River, which flows through the central part of the city, is the symbol of the city, and the city limits are built in the basin of the Kinugawa River. The eastern lowlands of the Kinugawa River are made up of vast paddy fields, while the western part is a hilly area, where you can see villages, farmlands, and lush flatland forests. A natural forest of evergreen trees such as oaks can be seen used as hedges to protect against wind and fire. In addition, while there are developments such as golf courses, there are many animals and plants unique to Satoyama Landscape. Sugo Swap, located on the border with neighboring Bando City, is designated as a suburban green conservation area and a natural environment conservation area, and is a valuable place where you can observe the nature unique to wetlands. There are also facilities such as 'Asunaro no Sato' to deepen contact with nature. The Ishige area became the home of the Taira no Masakado Rebellion during the Heian period, and a regional exchange center modeled after a castle has been built on the site of the residence of the Toyoda clan, who ruled until the Sengoku period. The producer, Mr. Yasuhiko Sotome, is an auditor of the Shimodate Tax Association and has a seat in the Mamusubi Taxpayer Savings Association Federation. According to the National Tax Agency, in August 1945, Japan accepted the Potsdam Declaration, marking the end of the war. In 1948, about 8 million demand letters were sent because the economy was in a state of bankruptcy due to social turmoil and tax hikes that had continued since the war, and the war damage caused the economy to collapse. However, the rate of delinquency occurrence (ratio of newly occurring delinquency to the amount of tax to be paid) is about 40%, and tax revenue is in a crisis. For this reason, in January 1948, an emergency tax payment countermeasures committee was established within the Ministry of Finance, consisting of members of the media and film industry. In 1949, the National Tax Agency was established and the Public Relations Division was established, and public relations activities were carried out mainly by the National Tax Agency, the Regional Taxation Bureau, and the Tax Office. In 1954, in order to obtain the understanding and cooperation of taxpayers and reflect them in smooth tax administration, the “Month to Hear the Voices of Taxpayers” (currently “Tax Consideration Week”) was established. A system was created to reflect this in the administration. The tax payment cooperatives that existed since the Meiji period were abolished in 1947 because of incidents such as the union executives intervening in tax collection, which was considered by the GHQ to hinder democratic tax payment, but tax revenues declined after the war. In light of this, the 1951 tax payment savings association law made a new start as a tax payment savings association. The collection system also evolved to improve convenience for taxpayers, and in 2003, payment by Internet banking was established, and in 2008, a tax payment system at convenience stores was enacted. In addition, he will be chairman of the Election Commission (Mitsukaido Suwa Town) on April 28, 2021 and will serve until December 25, 2023. Election administration commissions are administrative committees established in prefectures and municipalities based on Article 181 of the Local Autonomy Law, and are independent from the governors and mayors of municipalities, which are the executive organs of general administration. Established as an organization to manage election-related affairs so that elections are held fairly and properly, it is composed of four members elected by the assembly. In addition, a secretariat has been set up to carry out the affairs related to the election administration committee. It seems that not only during elections, but also on a regular basis, they are preparing electoral lists and conducting enlightenment projects to raise voter's political awareness. As an organization, the number of commissioners will be four, who are entitled to vote and elected by members of the city council. The chairperson shall be elected from among the committee members. The term of office is four years and can be reappointed. Joso City is located in the southwestern part of Ibaraki Prefecture, within 55 kilometers from the city center, with Tsukuba City and Tsukubamirai City in the east, Bando City in the west, Moriya City in the south, and Yachiyo Town and Shimotsuma City in the north. touch. It stretches about 20 kilometers from north to south and about 10 kilometers from east to west, with an area of 123.64 km2. The altitude is about 5 to 24 meters, and the climate is of the Pacific type, and it is mild throughout the four seasons. The Kinugawa River, a class A river, runs through the center, and the eastern lowlands are vast paddy fields. The western part of the city is hilly, with villages, fields, and flatland forests, but housing complexes, industrial complexes, golf courses, etc. have also been developed, and urban functions are being strengthened as a suburban development zone. As for the road system, National Route 294 runs north-south through the city, and National Route 354 runs east-west. In addition, there are major local roads and general prefectural roads that connect with surrounding municipalities. In addition, the Metropolitan Inter-City Expressway has opened almost in the center of the city, and it seems that the development of a wide-area road network is progressing. Regarding railways, the Kanto Railway Joso Line runs from north to south, connecting Toride with Shimotsuma / Chikusei, and connecting with the Tsukuba Express at Moriya. Apparently. Regarding the current situation of Joso City agriculture, in the western part of the Kinugawa River, paddy fields and hilly upland areas are mixed, and the conditions are very suitable for the production of agricultural products. Although many kinds of agricultural products such as fruit trees and livestock are produced, the city does not have a specific agricultural product as its main product, and it seems that it is difficult to produce branded agricultural products that boast a certain market share. In addition, we set up a certified farmer's association consisting of five subcommittees: "normal crops," "greenhouse vegetables," "outdoor vegetables," "flowers," and "livestock farming." It seems that he is working every day to improve his business management ability. In addition, 15 farmers, consisting of an agricultural manager, a female farmer, and a young farmer, are working as local leaders to secure and train successors and revitalize agriculture. In addition, there are eight direct sales stands for agricultural products in the city, where motivated small-scale farmers interact with consumers in a community-based manner. This seems to play a role in the revitalization of the region. In the area around the Joso Interchange currently under planning, we will promote the Agriscience Valley concept, strengthen production, processing, distribution, and sales, and cooperate with farmers and related organizations while considering exchanges that make use of agriculture. It preaches that it will lead to the revitalization of agriculture by promoting the sixth industrialization and regional branding. However, he also says that the main problems and issues facing agriculture in the city are as follows. Aging and Declining Farmers in Recent Years According to the national agricultural and forestry census, out of 2,990 farm households, 19.5% are full-time farmers and first-class part-time farmers, whose main source of income is farming. Of the 1,949 commercial farm households, 74.3% are “managers over the age of 60.” Agricultural employment continues to decline, especially for those under the age of 69. In 2015, the total number of people working in agriculture was 2,609, but if this trend continues, it is expected to decrease to about 1,500 by 2025, and about 600 people under the age of 69. In order to secure the human resources who will lead the business, regardless of the size of the farm, it is necessary to It is important to aim at stabilization of farm management and improvement of farm income by planning support of farmer and new farmer who want to support to lead to attractive farm management. As for the increase in abandoned cultivated land, the area of abandoned cultivated land in the city was 464 ha in 2010 and 504 ha in 2015. The causes of the increase in abandoned farmland are factors related to workers such as "aging and labor shortage'', "bad field conditions and no local farmers'', "slumping prices of agricultural products'', and "no profitable crops''. It seems that it is considered to be a complex factor, such as management factors such as "no damage" and "harmful wildlife damage". As for the impact of abandoned farmland, it seems that the occurrence of diseases and pests, the overgrowth of weeds, etc. will deteriorate the farming environment in the surrounding area, and it will also be a factor that hinders the accumulation of farmland for local farmers. Furthermore, it has adverse effects on the living environment of local residents, such as illegal dumping of garbage and the occurrence of fires. In order to stop the increase in abandoned farmland due to the aging of the population, it is necessary to develop a production base that will enable efficient consolidation of farmland to motivated farmers. There is Furthermore, it seems necessary to promote the creation of an environment in which agriculture and farming villages can easily demonstrate their multifaceted functions, such as efforts to conserve and utilize farmland through community-wide participation by citizens in cooperation with farmers and villages. Kosatsudai (Konoyama) 1 unit in the area where producers usually farm: designation number 36, designation date, January 8, 1990, Edo period, law and rule writing, etc., with heavy traffic A billboard posted at a market or crossroads is called an official bulletin board.). Kosatsudai were also set up in conspicuous places such as in front of the village headman's house, and it seems that the shogunate strictly controlled the villagers with the official bulletin board. Konoyama's official bulletin board seems to have been built at the end of the Edo period according to instructions from the magistrate's office. Standing on a platform made of cut stone, it is 2.5 meters high and the front roof is 3.6 meters wide. There are only two remaining valuable cultural assets in the old Ishige town. Yellow core Chinese cabbage looks like a normal Chinese cabbage, but the inside of the cabbage has yellow leaves. The leaves are soft, freshly picked, and have a sweet taste. Coloring from ingredients exactly, it changes to a dining table that shines. In addition, the original species is said to have originated in northern China, and has been cultivated in China since around the 10th or 11th century. It is said that it came to Japan surprisingly late, around 1875 in the early Meiji period. At that time, it seems that it was difficult to collect seeds and it did not spread very much. After that, during the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the seeds of delicious and excellent agricultural products that had grown large in the former Manchuria and Korea were brought back to Japan by Japanese soldiers, and it seems that the seeds spread throughout the country. It has occupied a position as a major vegetable since before the Second World War, but in recent years the planted area seems to be on the decline due to fewer opportunities to pickle Chinese cabbage at home and the influence of westernized eating habits. In addition, Chinese cabbage is roughly divided into Shandong type, North China type, and South China type. There seems to be a head type, a semi-head type, and a non-head type. It seems that most of the ones currently in circulation in Japan are the ball type. It is divided into two types: the cylindrical shape with tightly overlapping leaves on the head and the shell-like shape with wrapped leaves that do not overlap. Seems to be It is said that the reason why the yellow core type became mainstream is that Chinese cabbage is often cut and sold today, so it looks beautiful when cut in half and also tastes delicious. As a trivial piece of information, it seems that Japanese people saw Chinese cabbages for the first time, and it was the three strains of "Shandong Chinese cabbage" that were exhibited from Qing at the Tokyo Exposition. For a while after that, it seems that the headed Chinese cabbage was called Shandong Chinese cabbage. It seems that it was after that that those that did not form a ball came to be called Shandong Vegetable. After the exposition, two of the three plants were sold to Aichi Prefecture, and the seeds continued to be collected. It seems that there is a record that the Shandong Vegetable was presented to Emperor Meiji from Nagoya.

The local climate has an average temperature of around 13.5°C and an annual rainfall of about 1,300 mm. In winter, the northwest monsoon blows, but the amount of snowfall is extremely small, and it is the area with the least amount of rainfall in the prefecture. Also, the first frost is in late October and the last frost is in late April, and depending on the year fruit trees may suffer late frost damage, but the area is generally warm and the environment is suitable for growing crops. It has long hours of sunlight in winter and is suitable for outdoor cultivation. Cultivated varieties have been repeatedly planted with soft varieties and hard varieties based on the needs of the time and ease of production, and have changed to planting mainly yellow-core varieties that meet the needs of current consumers. The characteristics of the yellow core type are that the leaf color inside the Chinese cabbage is strong, and the sweetness is stronger than that of the white core type.


PXL_20221220_231104159.MP.jpg

Most autumn and winter hakusai currently in circulation are of the yellow core type. In addition, the main varieties of spring Chinese cabbage are Cream No. 2 Chinese cabbage (Watanabe Seed Co., Ltd.) and Kikunishiki Chinese cabbage (Tohoku Co., Ltd.). The biggest feature is that the inside color of the bulb is also strongly yellow.It reaches the proper harvest time in about 60 days after planting. The leaf color is slightly dark green, the grass is slightly upright, and the number of outer leaves is small, so it can be cultivated densely. The balls are bullet-shaped, and the body and buttocks are well stretched and have a voluminous feel, and each ball weighs about 2.5 to 3 kg and is of good quality). There are Naomi Chinese cabbage and yellow gokoro Chinese cabbage.

The tea harvest in 2022 is expected to be good, and will reach its peak around May 2nd, the 88th day after the spring. It is the 88th day after the spring, and in the old Japanese calendar, which is based on the lunar calendar, the calendar date and season are at their highest and are half a month apart, so it originated and spread as a guide to the change of seasons, other than the five seasonal festivals and 24 solar terms based on the solar calendar. It is considered to be auspicious because there are two eights, which spread out at the end, and tea picked on the 88th day after the spring is treasured as a lucky charm for eternal youth and longevity, and the legend that drinking this new tea will help you spend the year without misfortune is still engraved in our hearts. The calendar, which serves as a guide for growing crops, is the foundation and lesson of our ancestors.

Kotonami Future Museum, a regional revitalization center in Mannou Town, Kagawa Prefecture, is set to open in May 2021, utilizing the building of a closed junior high school. It has been seen as a "success story" in a recent depopulated area, and even attracts visits from outside the town, including politicians and child-rearing support groups. This area is rich in local resources such as sunflowers, buckwheat villages, and the "Ayako Dance : It is said that the song began when Kobo Daishi stopped by Sabumi Village to teach a woman named Aya a dance, and when she danced, rain began to fall. It is dedicated to Kamo Shrine once every two years. The song was popular from the Middle Ages to the early modern period and has 12 verses. In the past, it was dedicated in front of the Ryuo Shrine at the top of Mount Ryuo. Before the dedication, a procession is made and the shrine is entered. After that, the place is purified by those carrying long swords and poles, and then the Genji begins his speech. The speech originally included prayers for rain and gratitude for water, but now that water shortages are rare, the main content of the speech is gratitude for water," an important intangible folk cultural asset that is part of the "Elegance Dance : It is a folk performing art in which people dance to the accompaniment of songs, flutes, and drums in gorgeous costumes and accessories. It is filled with people's prayers for a peaceful life, such as protection from disasters, good harvests, and rain" group, which is a candidate for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage registration. Local residents who are attached to these local resources are taking the lead in revitalizing the area and working to pass them on to future generations. Although there are many part-time farmers in the town, the scenery of nature that changes with the seasons creates a nostalgic rural landscape. The people who live here continue to live the way they have been handed down since ancient times, together with this nature, and continue to protect traditional culture.

The Democratic Party for the People led by Mr. Tamaki, tax cuts: Reduce social insurance premiums, lower living expenses, and give back to the people, increasing their take-home pay. They have put forward the direction and measures that if you work hard, your salary will increase. This is a natural reform, but those in power who have controlled the country and are the spokespersons for the people should work to settle the past, putting off the problem and making the lives of the people wealthy. Other parties are holding study sessions and actively discussing the possibility of a 0% tax on food products and a 5% consumption tax. It would be good if this could be an opportunity to reduce the burden on households in the future and reconsider some aspects of our lives, but I would like to keep an eye on them so that they do not put off the problem forever and treat people who are working hard and seriously in the present with innocence. All members of parliament, no malice is needed. Fight loyally and respect your country.

It is called Asparagos (meaning that it is extremely torn) in the ancient name of Greece of origin, and it seems that the part that looks like a leaf in the botanical branch seems to be torn into small pieces.

【Main features】

Nakayama Sunflower Complex: The blue sky, the mountains of Asan, and over 310,000 pretty and elegant sunflowers. The spacious and spectacular view from the top of the hill is just like summer. Not only for sightseeing, but also as a shooting spot, many people visit from inside and outside the prefecture and from abroad. Also, it seems that 200 yen will be paid as a beautification cooperation fee at the entrance. National high school as a whole to be held in Manno Town, Nakatadori County, Kagawa Prefecture in August 2022 (Venue: Manno Town, Kagawa Prefecture / Sports Center Manno, Manno Town Manno Junior High School, Mt. Kasagata, Mt. Ryuo, Mt. Okawa, Encampment: Manno Town / Kotonami Miraikan, Opening Ceremony on August 5th (Friday) and Closing Ceremony on August 9th (Tuesday) I signed an agreement. At the signing ceremony on April 25, the 15th Infantry Regiment Commander of the Ground Self-Defense Force Zentsuji Camp, the Kagawa Prefectural Board of Education, and the representative of Manno Town signed the agreement. Every year, it seems that the local government that holds the national high school championships has an agreement with the Self-Defense Forces for the safety of the students. It seems that the Self-Defense Forces will provide preliminary inspections of the course, wireless communication, and rescue support in the event of an accident during the competition. In the middle of March 2022, I learned from the media that Kagawa Prefecture in the Shikoku region is planning a project to export rice produced in the prefecture as “Pre-packaged rice” overseas in collaboration with a major company. As the domestic market is expected to shrink, it seems that it is attracting attention as a new initiative aimed at expanding consumption of rice produced in the prefecture by looking overseas. According to the people concerned, Kagawa Prefecture and others have agreed to supply rice produced in the prefecture to the “Pre-packaged rice” factory that a major company is planning to build in Saga Prefecture. Pre-packaged rice is also being exported by the national government because it does not require phytosanitary inspection when it is exported and even foreigners who do not know how to cook rice can easily cook it in the microwave. According to the plan, rice produced in the prefecture will be supplied through JA Kagawa prefecture from next year when the factory in Saga prefecture starts operation, and it will be made into pre-packaged rice and exported overseas. In 2025, when the Saga factory will start full-scale operation, it is said that about 1500 tons of rice will be processed into packed rice annually together with rice produced in other prefectures. JA Kagawa Prefecture is recruiting producers to participate in this project soon. In addition to providing guidance on low-cost rice production suitable for export, it seems that it will conduct market research overseas. There has been almost no export record of rice produced in Kagawa prefecture, and it is attracting attention as a new initiative aimed at expanding consumption by looking overseas. To give an example, it was decided that the Pre-packaged rice manufactured at “Japan Pack Rice Akita” in Ogata Village, Akita Prefecture, which started full-scale operation in July 2021, will be exported overseas for the first time, and in 2022 as the first step. On January 27, it seems that loading into a container for Taiwan was carried out at the factory. As domestic demand for rice for main food is declining year by year, we have found a way out in overseas sales channels. About 12,000 meals were exported. After customs clearance, he left Akita Port on January 8, 2021 and arrived at Keelung Port in Taiwan on the 16th. It is sold at a department store in Taiwan on the Internet, and it seems that the selling price was expected to be about twice that of Japan (120 yen per meal). According to the Ogata Village Akita Komachi Producers Association, which is responsible for exports, the company wants to export to Taiwan once every three months, aiming for about 100,000 meals a year. Exports to Shanghai, China were completed in February. It seems that it is also considering exporting to Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States. The aim is to increase consumption of rice, which is the staple food of the Japanese. It seems that he settled in Ogata village half a century ago and wanted to grow rice and increase consumption. Consumption is declining, while nuclear families are becoming more common and people's lifestyles are changing. The chances of cooking rice at home are decreasing, and more people are eating convenient pre-packaged rice. I have considered building a factory twice so far, but it seems that the investment amount has been greatly abandoned. This time, subsidies from the national and prefectural governments and loans from Akita Bank have been completed. At last, the prospect of construction was reached, and gluten-free foods and foods for food allergies were developed, but it seems to be a product that fills the gap. Consumption is increasing year by year, and the market is expected to grow even more in the future. About four years ago, in February 2018, TableMark Co., Ltd. (Head office: Tsukiji, Chuo Ward, Tokyo), the largest manufacturer and seller of PACKED ASEPTIC COOKED RICE in Japan. It seems that the annual production will be 250 million meals and 50,000 tons. The company aims to complete the Mizu no Sato factory (Toka Town) in Uonuma, Niigata prefecture in August 2018, and invests 2.1 billion yen to produce 7,500 meals per hour. Was added. Six lines are already in operation at this factory, and when the additional line is completed, the production capacity will reach 46,500 meals per hour. At the Spring / Summer New Product Press Conference held on January 25, Tablemark Co., Ltd. offered 3 extra-sized servings of 300g per meal and pre-packaged rice using milky queen rice from Ishikawa prefecture as new products for packed rice. It is on sale from the 1st of the month. We are also introducing Pre-packaged rice using Koshihikari in the commercial field. It seems that the commercial-use rice is not made exclusively for it, but is the same as the commercially available Koshihikari rice-packed rice, and the packaging design is only one color. According to the company, there have been inquiries about pre-packaged rice in order to save the trouble of re-cooking rice at restaurants and hotels, and it is focusing on management by making a full-scale sales offensive in this field. Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Cooperative was established in April 2000 by the merger of 43JA in Kagawa Prefecture. After that, it merged with 2JA and contributed to Japanese agriculture again as a prefectural single agricultural cooperative in April 2013. The average cultivated area per farmhouse in the prefecture is 0.9 hectares, which is less than half of the national average (2.1 hectares). Under favorable climatic conditions, lettuce and Japanese red Kintoki carrot (the bright red color is dazzling, the production volume is the highest in Japan. It is said that the oriental species was introduced from China from 1603 to 1867. The red color is japanese traditional. It is prized for New Year's dish and Kyo-ryori (local climate of Kyoto), and is also characterized by being sweeter and softer than the orange-colored western carrots that are widely distributed. The main production areas are the sandy areas of Sakaide City and Kannonji City. At the end of the year when demand is high, farmers will be forced to ship), and they produce nationwide agricultural products such as lettuce. Kanonji City, which is a celery producing area in Kagawa Prefecture, is located in the western part of the prefecture, bordering the Seto Inland Sea in the north and the Sanuki Mountains in the south. While making high use of the blessed natural conditions of the Setouchi-style climate of warm and light rain, the micro-scale of management is complemented by advanced use of land and capital-intensive management such as facility horticulture, and vegetables, fruit trees, and livestock are produced based on rice and wheat. It seems that they are developing highly productive agriculture centered on complex management such as. In the Ariake area, where celery is particularly popular in the city, tomatoes and cucumbers are cultivated mainly in celery and are popular with consumers, using well-drained sandy areas along the coast. Celery production seems to have started in 1970 in the Ariake district of Kanonji city. At that time, the cultivation was institutionalized, and we were considering the items to be introduced, but there was a request from the Kanto market for celery production, and we started cultivation with 5 houses producers. In 2017, the JA Kagawa Prefecture Kanonji District Celery Subcommittee produced 22 houses, with a cultivated area of 830 ares (including 590 ares of celery and 240 ares of mini celery), and a cultivated area of 37.7 ares per house. Production was strong at 640 tons (480 tons of celery, 160 tons of mini celery). It seems that the aging of farmers is progressing in the prefecture, but the average age of producers is as young as 40s, and many bearers are growing, making it a vigorous production area in the prefecture. Kanonji celery seems to be cultivated mainly in combination with tomatoes. Cellular is planted from mid-September to the end of November, and the harvest seems to be from early January to early May. The peak harvest season is March. I heard that cultivation is generally done in an unheated greenhouse. Minicellly is planted from early September to the end of November, and harvested from mid-November to early June. It is generally cultivated in the open field or in an unheated greenhouse. The main varieties are celery 619 and mini celery top-selling (vigorous and disease-resistant. The plant is slightly upright, the first node is long, the core leaves grow well, and large plants can yield high yields. The petioles are wide, thick, and have few streaks. The color is light green with good freshness. It seems that the celery is about half a month later than “Cornel 619”. It seems that small stocks of about 1 kg are also possible). Raising seedlings was carried out collectively at the Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Support Center, a subsidiary of JA Kagawa Prefecture, in an effort to reduce the work of producers. However, from around 2006, in Cornell varieties, seeding due to the effects of warming caused poor germination of seeds due to high temperatures during the seeding period, and the occurrence of twisting symptoms similar to viral diseases in planted seedlings (Colletotrichum simmondsii RG). Shivas & YP Tan? Fine, necrotic spots are formed on the core leaves of new leaves, and in the case of severe damage, spindle-shaped brown spots appear on the outer leaves and stalks. Also, curls of leaves and twisting of stalks. It seems that it may be accompanied by malformations such as. Diagnosis is made by confirming the characteristic necrotic spot spot symptoms that occur in the core lobe. Furthermore, when the symptom site of the core lobe is observed with a microscope, it is colorless single vesicle, spindle-shaped to oval. It seems that it is possible to confirm the saplings). Therefore, in cooperation with related organizations such as the extension center of the prefecture, it seems that they started self-seeding by jurisdiction seeding farmers for line selection in 2010, and started cultivating selected seeds in 2011 the following year. It seems that the selected seeds are fixed seeds in the area and are raised at the Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Support Center. Since the selected seeds germinate well and the occurrence of twisting symptoms is small, it seems that it was possible to plant with good quality seedlings, which led to the improvement of quality. Currently, selected seeds and commercially available seeds are used in combination, but the weight of selected seeds is increasing, and further quality improvement is being seriously addressed. In addition, the JA seems to be promoting the introduction of a hydroponic soil cultivation system for each producer in order to save labor. The hydroponic soil cultivation system does not require special soil or facilities, and it seems that it can automatically perform watering and fertilizer application work and reduce the amount of fertilizer used compared to the conventional soil cultivation method. In addition, there is no need to add fertilizer or soil conditioner at the time of planting, which seems to save labor. Furthermore, since crops absorb water and fertilizer efficiently, they are less likely to be stressed, and are expected to increase yield and sugar content. About half of the producers have introduced it since that time, and it seems that not only labor saving but also quality improvement has been realized. Cellular is soft rot, spot plant disease, wilt disease for diseases, armyworm, aphid, Penthaleus erythrocephalus Koch for pests. Is reddish brown). Therefore, it seems that they are aiming to supply safe, high-quality and excellent agricultural products by disinfecting the soil before planting and controlling it in a timely and appropriate manner. Harvesting is done in the morning so that it reaches consumers in a fresher state, and after sorting and boxing by each producer, it is brought to the collection point and shipped to the market on the same day. At the collection point, quality inspections are conducted by inspectors. It seems that once a week, a shipping awareness meeting is held for shippers to unify the awareness of producers and maintain and improve quality. In addition, the name and number of the producer are written on the shipping cardboard, and it seems that a system is in place to respond promptly when there is a problem. The main shipping destinations are the Keihin and Sendai markets. Every February, the officers of the subcommittee visit each market to hold sales review meetings and sales promotion activities to expand contract transactions with an awareness of reproduction prices. In addition to continuous and stable shipments, the subcommittee has unified its intention to set March as the peak shipment period, and seems to be striving for advantageous sales aiming at the off-season of other production areas. In addition, it seems that consumers are always on the side of consumers by strictly adhering to safe use standards for pesticides, recording, checking and storing, and thoroughly raising awareness of food hygiene to prevent contamination by foreign substances. The area of cultivated land by field in 2018 was 29,900 hectares (40th in Japan), and the area of cultivated land per house was 78 ares, which is less than half of the national average. Despite these conditions, autumn-winter crop cultivation has prospered for half a century as a back crop of paddy fields, and typical autumn-winter items are lettuce, current price increases, great crops, and wheat, which is active as a staple food. Broccoli seems to have been introduced in the prefecture for the first time due to the demand for diversified vegetable items in the latter half of the 1965s, which is the latter half of the high growth period. Cultivation began in Tadotsu Town, Nakatado District, and after that, it was cultivated throughout the prefecture, but it seems that the production volume declined temporarily due to the increase in cheap imported broccoli from China and the United States. On the other hand, in the Mitoyo area, it seems that the product value was increased by innovating production technology and devising shipping forms such as ice-packed shipping. I heard that this initiative spread throughout the prefecture and became a representative of autumn / winter items. With the support of mechanization, JA, and the cooperation of the production subcommittee, the current planted area is one of the five largest production areas in Japan. Comparing the broccoli cultivation area in the prefecture in the last 10 years, the production in 2008 was 565 hectares, while the production in 2018 was 1170 hectares, more than doubled. It seems that the background was the fall in rice prices, the abolition of rice and wheat subsidies for management income stabilization measures (former farmer household income compensation system), and the entry of baby boomers into agriculture. In addition, it seems that the acreage has expanded due to the improvement of the support system by JA, the rise in transaction prices due to the high leveling of quality, and the expansion of end consumption. In any case, Kagawa has a small cultivated area and cannot be mass-produced, so it seems that it is trying to differentiate itself from domestic and overseas competing production areas by producing high-value-added crops such as high quality and individualization. The mild climate of Setouchi, also known as the Mediterranean Sea of Japan, seems to be the best environment for growing fruits and vegetables. And it seems that the secret to producing beautiful products is the careful manufacturing of each producer. The tomatoes of the skilled producers introduced this time belong to the Solanaceae family and are perennials in the tropics, but they are annual plants in the temperate zone. The place of origin seems to be said to be the western plateau of South America. It was introduced in Japan in the early 18th century, but it seems that it was treated for appreciation at that time. Until the early Showa period, production was insignificant because it did not suit general tastes, but I heard that the cultivated area increased from around 1935. It was prototyped in a glass greenhouse in Kusugami Town, Takamatsu City around the end of the Taisho era, and it seems that the cultivation area increased with the spread of vinyl greenhouses in the early 1955s. In particular, the spread of ripe round ball varieties “Momotaro Tomato” has led to increased consumption and an increase in cultivated area. In addition, it seems that the variety of tomato cultivation has expanded and the consumption has increased significantly due to the spread of quality-enhancing ingredients such as high sugar content tomatoes, medium-sized tomatoes “midi tomatoes”, and mini tomatoes. It is widely known, and it is said that Tang dynasty and “TOMATO” are used in Japan after the Meiji Era. “Momotaro tomato”, Treetop A large pink ball that does not hurt even when shipped after it is fully ripe. A long-established store from the Edo period --Developed by foundation takii & co., Ltd in 1835. However, new producers are cherry tomatoes (cultivation started around 1985, and it seems that it spread rapidly throughout the prefecture with the advent of minicarols. It reached 43ha in 1990, and it seems that it is gradually decreasing since then. Cultivation is soil cultivation. It has shifted to hydroponic cultivation from, and now 60% seems to be hydroponic cultivation. The main production areas are Tadotsu Town, Sanuki City, Zentsuji City, Takamatsu City, Higashi Kagawa City, etc. The variety is CF Chika (dark red and glossy). A certain fruit color, stable from low to high sugar content, excellent taste. Fruit color is deep red and glossy. Fruit weight is 15 to 20 g. Fruit shape is beautiful spherical and good to match. Goku Wase species Excellent yield in the low temperature period), TY Chika (excellent in taste, glossy fruit color) Stable from low to high sugar content. The fruit color is deep red and glossy. Fruit weight is 15 to 20 g. It seems that the fruit shape is a beautiful sphere and the fruit is well-matched. The shape of the calyx is also beautiful, and it looks good when packed. It also seems to be rich in lycopene, a functional ingredient. It seems that the Wase species, which has a stable yield and an early ripening period, has few fluctuations in yield throughout the cultivation period, and stable shipment can be expected). It seems that the production area of large tomatoes is sluggish due to the high selection rate. That is why it is valuable. The main production areas are Sanuki City, Takamatsu City, Kanonji City, etc. Manno Town, which is also an excellent wholesaler of asparagus, is still new, which was created by the merger of three towns in Nakatado District, Kagawa Prefecture (Mano Town, Kotonami Town, and Chunan Town) on March 20, 2006. It's a town. It is located in the southwestern part of the prefecture and has an area of about 194.45 km2. It seems that about 900 reservoirs are scattered in the mountainous area in the west, including "Pond Manno", the best irrigation reservoir in Japan, which is also the origin of the town name. On the south side of the town, Mt. Ryuo, which is over 1,000 meters above sea level, and the Sanuki Mountains, whose main peak is Mt. Okawa, run at the foot of the mountain, and the Doki River, the only first-class river in the prefecture, flows. It was confirmed from the website of Manno Town on April 8, 2022, but the rice price in Manno Town fell sharply due to the influence of the new coronavirus infection in the temporary support fund for the continuation of rice production in Manno Town, so the rice in the town It seems that a subsidy will be provided to the sales farmers to support the continuation of paddy field management this year. For details, check with the Agriculture and Forestry Division of the town and JA Kagawa Fureai Center Kyoei store. Sanuki Manno Park is the only national park in Shikoku with a park area of 350 ha. Taking advantage of the rich nature of Manno Pond and its surroundings, and the cultural soil of Shikoku that gave birth to Kukai, the basic theme was "Talking with humans, contact with nature and space", and maintenance began in 1984. The park was fully opened in April of the year. The blue flowers of Nemophila are in full bloom until the end of this month, which seems to entertain visitors. This flower is an annual plant native to North America and seems to bloom about 3 cm in diameter. In addition, it seems that a total of 550,000 varieties called "Insignis Blue" are planted in the open space "Flower Tour Hill", the flower field "Flower Dragon Road", and "Blue Dragon Valley". "Asparagus" is a perennial plant of the Liliaceae family. Native to Southern Europe. Height is about 1.5 m. The leaves are degenerated and brown scaly. Pine leaf-shaped stems called “pseudo-leaves” photosynthesize. It is customary to eat young stems. "Ukraine" is said to be the place of origin from Southern Europe. It has been cultivated since ancient Greek times and spread throughout Europe. It is said that it was introduced to Japan by the Dutch during the Edo period, mainly for viewing the leaves. As for food, cultivation began in Hokkaido in the Taisho era. Before the war, asparagus was white asparagus for canning. Today, with increasing health consciousness, nutritious green asparagus for raw consumption has become the majority of the distribution. Excellent varieties cultivated in the United States have been cultivated, but in recent years, the cultivation of F1 hybrid(Only overt (dominant) genes are expressed in the next generation of parents' traits ≒ the law of overt - From Japanese junior high school science "dominant / recessive" to "overt / latent". Genetic terms, changed all at once from 2021) varieties with improved matching and quality has increased. The difference between green and white asparagus is due to the cultivation method. There are male and female strains, and the male strain has a higher yield, but it is difficult to distinguish by appearance, but in recent years, all male varieties in which all strains are male strains have been cultivated. It is one of the long-growing vegetables that takes three years from the first planting to the time when it can be harvested. However, the difficulty of cultivation is not so high, and after the third year, you can enjoy harvesting every year for about 10 years. In addition, although it prefers a cool climate, it can withstand the heat to some extent and is resistant to dryness. Asparagus, a specialty of Kagawa Prefecture, was first introduced in the open field in 1970 as a paddy field crop. From around 1982, cane blight (at first, the branching part of the stem turns brown, black grains are formed, and there are spores in the grains. Finally, the whole stem seems to die. Asparagus semi-promoted growth period cultivated As a comprehensive control system for stem blight, cultivated control (removal of residual stems and burning of burner) suppresses the onset of stalk blight for a long period of time. It seems that the comprehensive control system (cultivation control and chemical control during the cultivation period) keeps the onset of stem blight low. The comprehensive control system is also effective for brown spot disease. Agricultural control that removes the residual stems from the underground part (3 to 5 cm below the ground surface) and burns the residual stems with a burner suppresses the onset of stem blight for a long period of time. Work so as not to damage the buds. It seems that it is desirable to remove mainly the affected part of the previous work because the removal work is laborious. It is said that burner incineration should be done before the sprouting of spring buds (February) It seems that greenhouse cultivation has become common due to measures and early harvesting. Currently, 95% is cultivated in greenhouse, and the remaining 5% is cultivated in the open field. It seems that there are two varieties, "Welcome Asparagus" and "Sanuki no Mezame Asparagus", which is a cultivar raised in Kagawa prefecture. It is characterized by the fact that the tips of the ears do not open easily even when they grow. Therefore, it is possible to harvest even if it is stretched to twice the normal amount, the tips are tight, and the roots are soft. When you try it, it has a crispy texture and a refreshing sweetness that spreads throughout your mouth. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration website, application number 14835, application date 2002/07/08, application publication date 2002/12/16, registration number 13197, registration date 2005/06/22, breeding The duration of the breeder's right is 25 years, the date when the breeder's right is extinguished. Name and address of the cultivar registrant Kagawa Prefecture (Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture) be. Outline of the characteristics of the plant of the registered cultivar This cultivar is a hybrid cultivar whose mother and paternity are the breeding line owned by the applicant. It is a variety for green asparagus that has a tight tightness and early and late sprouting. The plant height is long, the stem thickness and internode length are medium, the leaf length is slightly long, and the density is medium. The thickness and matching of the young stems are medium, the color is slightly light green, the expression of anthocyanins is slightly high, the number of stems is large, the shape of the head is type I, the color is slightly light green, the tightness of the head is tight, and the head is open. Early and late in the evening, the color of the leaflets is slightly light green, the expression of anthocyanins is medium, and the uplift of the engraftment part is type II. The color of the perianth is yellow, the color of the veins is green, the length of the male flower and some are medium. The low temperature requirement is quite low, the early and late sprouting is quite early, and the proportion of male strains is medium. Compared to "Merry Washington 500 W Asparagus" and "Welcome Asparagus", it is said that the distinction is recognized by the large number of young stems, the tightness of the head, and the early and late sprouting. This excellent asparagus was introduced in the prefecture in 2002, and it seems that the variety composition ratio is 37% for "Welcome Asparagus" and 63% for "Sanuki no Mezame Asparagus". Shipment destinations are Kanto 30%, Kansai 30%, Shikoku 30%, and others 10%, shipping from January to October. I heard that the peak shipments are March, April and July, August. The town's agriculture is centered on rice cultivation, but it seems that vegetables such as onions, garlic and broccoli are also cultivated and poultry farming is also carried out. Fruit trees of peaches and persimmons are being cultivated in the hilly mountainous areas in the south. Green asparagus and flowers are also cultivated in facility horticulture. As an aside, Virulent bird flu A (has a very wide host range (range of infectious animal species), not only poultry such as "humans" and chickens (birds such as chickens, ducks, quail), but also horses. H5N1 - A strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus - is rapidly becoming a global concern. A new SciencePerspective discusses the factors that have led to global H5N1 outbreaks, the consequences of this spread, and what can be done to curb it. There are signs of flu, so we have to foresee the danger before the corona sickness is over, and Japan must revive again, but economic measures are still unclear and there is no prospect of escaping from the crisis of stagflation. Am I the only one?

It is a vegetable rich in umami and richness, rich in the ingredient C4H7NO4 found in asparagus, which is an excellent agricultural product. Hakama (triangular part on the stem) and the skin near the hard root can be peeled off with a peeler to make it beautiful and palatable. The part that snaps by holding the root of the stem is a guideline for the part with few streaks. When boiling, you can reduce the outflow of umami and nutrients by boiling it for a long time without cutting it. You can enjoy the refreshing aroma and natural sweetness by adding salt to a little hot water and steaming for several tens of seconds. Asparagus grows on rhizomes like japanese ginger, not plants that sow seeds and grow seedlings every year like japanese white radish and spinach. In the spring, the buds grow squishy, and every year, you can enjoy these young buds. After harvesting, the rhizomes are allowed to overwinter as they are, and it is customary to harvest and eat new shoots that will grow again in the spring of the following year. In recent years, the number of domestic products whose harvest period has been significantly extended is increasing due to green house cultivation.

This excellent produce grown in the sun is rich in vitamins. In particular, it contains a large amount of folic acid, so I recommend it to people who are anemic. At the tip of the ear, there are amino acids such as aspartic acid and C10H17N3O6S (a tripeptide consisting of three amino acids, which has an amide bond between the amino group of cysteine, which is rarely seen, and the carboxy group on the side chain side of glutamate). A kind is included. Aspartic acid seems to be effective in increasing metabolism and relieving fatigue. It also has the effect of excreting NH3 as urine, and can be expected to have the effect of preventing irritation and insomnia. In addition, it dilates peripheral blood vessels and lowers blood pressure, which will be very effective in improving hypertension and preventing arteriosclerosis. Glutathione has strong antioxidant power, and it seems that it can be expected to have a great effect of preventing aging such as wrinkles and sagging. Asparagus is said to have originated in Ukraine from Southern Europe. It has been cultivated since ancient Greek times and seems to have spread to Europe. It seems that it was introduced to Japan by the Dutch during the Edo period, mainly for viewing the leaves. As for food, I heard that cultivation began in Hokkaido during the Taisho era. Before the war, white asparagus for canning was the mainstream. Nowadays, with increasing health consciousness, green asparagus for raw consumption, which has high nutritional value, occupies most of the distribution.

Iwanai Town, Iwanai District, west of Hokkaido, is said to be the birthplace of asparagus. On the east side of Iwanai Welfare Hospital along Route 66, to the southwest of the intersection, there is a monument that says "The birthplace of Japanese asparagus." Dr. Kikuzo Shimoda (1895-1970) will be very successful. In Iwanai at that time, the herring economy was booming, and he was the third son of a rice miscellaneous goods dealer. He entered the current Tokyo University of Pharmacy (Horinouchi, Hachioji City) with a false age of three, so he seems to have been a precocious person. After returning home, he gave instructions to farmers about chemical fertilizers, but it seems that he was often cried for the damage caused by cold weather. Without abandoning his ambition to produce crops that can withstand the frigid cold of Hokkaido, he searched for crops that are resistant to cold damage, discovered the native asparagus called "firefly grass", and started cultivating asparagus. After many years of trial production, in 1922, it seems that the cultivation of this excellent agricultural product began in earnest in Japan for the first time in the sand dunes of 40 towns. Two years later, he established Japan Asparagus Co., Ltd. with the support of influential people. It seems that the canned white asparagus made in Iwanai eventually received higher praise than the imported canned food. In response to his desire to make asparagus, he gave guidance on cultivation to Kimobetsu, Abuta-gun in the early Showa period, and to Furano City after the war, and it seems that the asparagus fields have spread to various places.

As of 2022, the local Chiba Prefectural Meat Corporation and Asahi City Tourism and Products Association are paying attention to the raw leather produced annually in the process of meat processing. In collaboration with Tanning companies and local sewing manufacturers that handle leather products, we have developed "Kujukuri Leather(About 440,000 pigs are shipped annually from the city for meat. The prefectural meat public corporation in the city processes carcasses, and 90% of the surplus skin is exported overseas. The remaining 10% is processed into tanning leather by a trader in Tokyo. Only tanning leather from Asahi City is procured from a vendor in Tokyo, and K.K. Takano Sewing, K.K. Sewing Asahi, and Nakanishi Auto Repair K.K. in the city process the products into bags. In addition, it seems that there are more than 20 kinds of brand pigs in the city.)", a leather that utilizes locally produced pig raw leather. In Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture, which boasts one of the largest pig production in Japan, local meat traders, tourist product associations, and sewing makers have teamed up to take on the challenge of branding leather products using the by-product raw leather. Processed into bags and accessories as "Kujukuri leather". The whole meat and skin will be used to appeal to the local industry. The city's pig production in 2020 is estimated to be about 19.5 billion yen, and it seems that it is the second largest production area in Japan by municipality. While there are more than 20 kinds of various pork brands, it is difficult to unify PR, and it seems that the problem is that it is not well known as a production area. With the spread of cheap artificial leather and the declining global demand for leather products due to the new coronavirus disease, the raw leather industry continues to be in a difficult situation, so we will work together as a breakthrough. Asahi Meat Cooperative: Many people may think of pork as Kyushu, but in fact Chiba prefecture is the third largest pig farming prefecture in Japan after Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures. Our main production areas are the Toso region, including Asahi City, where the Asahi Meat Cooperative is located. The piglets seem to grow up quickly in a warm and blessed environment surrounded by Kujukuri Beach and the Tone River. 288 houses of pig farms raise 614,400 pigs throughout the prefecture, shipping about 870,000 pigs annually, and the amount of pigs produced is said to be 54.6 billion yen. Chiba Prefecture is famous for agricultural products such as peanuts, pears and rice, and marlin products such as marlin, marlin and sardines, and although it seems to be hidden behind the scenes, its history dates back to Edo. According to the record that "there are people who can raise pigs in Kamimusada, Yamabe District, Kazusa, Shimomusada, and Hosei's three villages during the Tenpo era (1830s)", the pig farming in Chiba Prefecture was later in Yamabe District, now Togane City. It seems that the beginning is around. It seems that there were already 20 soy sauce brewers in Choshi during the Bunsei era (1818-1830) before the 1930s when pig farming began. This is good because you can get good quality soybeans, wheat, and salt by using the water transportation of the Edo River and Tone River, and you can transport the products you made to the whole city of Edo. It was because the conditions were met. The Edo Shogunate at that time focused on fostering industries around Edo in order to escape from the dependence of daily necessities on the Kansai region. It seems that Choshi in Chiba Prefecture developed as a soy sauce producing area. Speaking of pig farming at that time, the mainstream was "garden pig farming" in which each farmer raised several pigs in the garden. Pig farming is a very small scale, and it was convenient for a producer to have one pig to eat anything. At that time, sardines were so big that they could be used as fertilizer in the fields, and the pigs in the garden seemed to be able to eat nutritious fish. As for the food, as the name "Sweet Potato Pork" suggests, it seems that they have been eating a lot of sweet potatoes since this time. Chiba Prefecture is also the second largest producer of sweet potatoes in Japan (2020). It began in the Edo period (Genbun year) when sweet potatoes were cultivated on a trial basis in Makuhari, Chiba City, at the behest of 8th Shogun Yoshimune to save famine. Thanks to the research of Konyo AOKI, who was later called Dr. Kanyo, cultivation spread to Chiba and eastern Japan. And soy sauce cake from Choshi's soy sauce factory. It is rich in soybean-derived fat, vitamin E, vitamin K1 (C31H46O2), and Isoflavones, and seems to be perfect for food. These special products of Chiba prefecture seem to have been a major factor in making pig farming nationwide as it is today. It seems that it developed because the blessed environment is complete, the production areas of soy sauce, agricultural products and marine products overlap with the breeding areas of pigs, and the large consumption area Edo is near. In the Meiji era, pig farming began to be established as an industry. In the middle of the Meiji era, the ancestors of the director of the association seemed to go to buy pigs by boat using the water transport of the Tonegawa River. Go up the Tone River to Ryugasaki and Narita in Ibaraki Prefecture, buy live pigs, put them in a bamboo basket, first ship to Choshi, put the unpaved road in a rear car, and then put it on the SL running on the Sobu Main Line. It seems that it was shipped to Tokyo. In the Taisho era, Hisaya Iwasaki (Mitsubishi zaibatsu) opened a Suehiro farm in Nanae, Tomisato Village, Imba District (currently Tomisato City), and has 200 breeding pigs on hand, up to 1,000 breeding, hams, sausages, bacon, etc. It seems that the processed products of were also produced. Together with the Livestock Experiment Station of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Prefectural Sakura Breeding Farm, which were established after that, it seems that the foundation of pig farming in Chiba Prefecture was laid as a supply center for excellent breeding pigs. “Asahi City, Chiba Prefecture”, Yoshimasa KISO(19th descendant of General Asahi Yoshinaka KISO), a Sengoku warrior who ruled the area after the fall of the Muromachi Shogunate. 開基 : 殿玉山 西徳院 東漸寺, 1593(Shingon style Chizan-ha). 懸仏: A three-dimensional statue of Buddha(旭市指定文化財), 木曽義昌公遺跡(旭市指定文化財).

It is a highly adaptable plant and is cultivated and loved all over the world because it grows relatively easily in any soil. It is said that it became widespread worldwide when Christopher Columbus brought it back to Europe in the 15th century. In August 1492, the group departed from a Spanish port and sailed west to west in order to obtain Zipangu's golden country and Indian pepper. After a long voyage, I finally discovered the West Indies.They believed that this was India, called the natives Indians, and thought that the small red spicy fruits they saw there were peppers because of the way the natives used them, and brought them back to their country. Initially, the aroma was so poor that it was so spicy that the bright red fruits were merely cultivated for ornamental purposes. However, in Spain and Portugal, it was not possible to grow pepper with the flavor and spiciness that Europeans liked at the time, but it is said that spicy peppers could be easily cultivated. For that reason, it is said that it was gradually used as a spice. There are pungent and sweet varieties, and when it is called chili pepper, it usually refers to pungent varieties. 紅葉の山を思わせる多量の唐辛子; 浮世草子 / 世間胸算用, 1692; 大晦日は一日千金, I wrote Saikaku IHARA: In January, it was published by Osaka / Itamiya Taroemon, Kyoto / Uemura Heizaemon, and Edo / Manya Seibei as publishers, and consists of five volumes. “人間五十年の究まり それさへ我にはあまりたるにましてや 浮世の月見過しにけり末二年” - 西鶴置土産. “Green chili”, It is an immature chili pepper that turns red when it is fully ripened on the tree while it is still growing. Red pepper is a ripe green pepper. Well-known as a raw material for Yuzu Pepper, the skin and green pepper are made into a paste, and salt is added for aging. I hear that the peak season for green chili peppers is from July to September, and that the varieties are mainly “hot parasol” with high yields. When you think of it as a literally spicy umbrella, it's like a closed umbrella. It's a little spicy, but I can't stand the spicy spiciness that stimulates my appetite. It is said that a soil temperature of around 28 ° C is required for germination. The planting period for open-field cultivation is based on the time when there is no concern about late frost, and temporary attraction is performed after planting to prevent lodging due to the wind. Pruning removes all the axillary buds below from the first branch (where the first flower settles). Topdressing should be done when the fruits are the most enlarged to some extent. As the branches grow, they are attracted firmly to prevent lodging, and it is recommended to take early action against pests. It is colored and fully ripe in about 50 to 60 days after flowering, and the cropping table shows the harvest period of ripe fruits, which is about 30 days after flowering. The standard for harvesting fruits and vegetables is when the skin color becomes darker and the skin becomes glossy.

Chili peppers are said to be spicy as they mature. In other words, red pepper is more spicy than green chili. This is because capsaicin accumulates in the white cotton area around the seed, called the placenta. That's why it gets hotter as it matures. It is said that if you make red pepper and dry it, the spiciness will increase further. It is a plant of the genus Capsicum of the Solanaceae family, and I heard that the country of origin is Central and South America. It is said that it was transmitted from Central and South America to Europe, via India and China, and then to Japan in the 16th century. Thousands of varieties are cultivated all over the world, and it is indispensable for various dishes such as Korean food, Chinese food, ethnic food, and curry. In addition to common red peppers and green chili, there are also varieties such as yellow, orange, and purple. In addition, peppers and paprika are also plants of the genus Capsicum of the Solanaceae family, which is the same as chili peppers. Certainly, I feel that the shapes and textures are somewhat similar. In addition, it has a bactericidal and insect repellent effect, and if you put dried red pepper in a rice bowl, insects will not easily attach to the rice. It is said that pests can be prevented by soaking in shochu with garlic, diluting it and spraying it on plants.

As for the knowledge, chili peppers continue to spread throughout Japan from the Warring States period to the Azuchi-Momoyama period and the early Edo period. The use for food is rather modern, and it seems that when chili peppers first arrived in Japan, they were treated as poisons due to their spiciness, or they were put in japanese socks with split toe to prevent frost burning.
