Nagasaki Prefecture GAP is the first prefecture in Japan to promote GAP (Agricultural Production Process Management) in order to reduce the environmental load in the agricultural production process, the safety of agricultural products, and the maintenance and promotion of the health of consumers and farmers. ), And also has introduction / management guidelines and inspection styles (check sheets), and embodies the form of agriculture that Nagasaki Prefecture should aim for in accordance with the “Nagasaki Prefecture Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Promotion Ordinance, which is friendly to people and the environment.” Formulated to further promote. Efforts of agricultural workers and government agencies to increase the momentum for GAP initiatives such as expanding exports and developing agricultural human resources.

I heard that the site of the Katashima torpedo launch test site by the sea in Mitsugoe Township was the remains of a military facility opened in 1918, about 103 years ago, and was responsible for the performance inspection of torpedoes. It is said that there are some remains that have already disappeared in Kawatana Town. During the war, the “red brick warehouse” at the site of the Kawatana Navy Arsenal, which had spread throughout Momozugo, was so old that it could not be repaired or relocated, and the town seems to have demolished it in January 2020. The arsenal was opened in October 1942 as a branch factory of the Sasebo Naval Arsenal. The following year, he became independent and mainly manufactured the “Type 91 aviation torpedo” that was also used in the attack on Pearl Harbor. The feelings of the local residents are strong, but the wartime remains in the town are not limited to Kawatana, but are important in the history of Japan. Not only whether the remains will be a tourism resource, but also the perspective of preserving cultural properties must be considered. Because it is a small island country, it is important to step on it so as not to extinguish the lights of traditions and cultures that our predecessors left behind for us. We must never be involved in war again, but I think that a peaceful world is the prosperity of humankind and the way to believe. Hopefully, don't fall into the developing world from developed countries.

【Major features】
Nagasaki Prefecture is located in the westernmost part of the mainland, in the northwestern part of Kyushu. It has a prefecture area of ​​213 km east-west and 307 km north-south. A major topographical feature is that about 80% of the land consists of peninsulas and islands, and the land is rich in undulations, so it seems that the land is scarce. The average annual temperature in the northwestern part of the Shimabara Peninsula, which is the main production area of ​​potatoes, is 15.7 degrees Celsius, and the annual rainfall is 2300 mm. It is an area with a long frost-free period from early April. In addition, many typhoons approach and land, which can cause enormous damage to agricultural products, and it is said that farming is carried out under severe land and weather conditions. In the prefecture, the spring potatoes, which are called “new potatoes” in the market and are shipped from April to June, seem to start harvesting starting from Fukue Island in the Goto Islands. It seems that it will move to the northwestern part of the Shimabara Peninsula and will reach the end in the Iimori district of Isahaya city on the opposite bank. I heard that all of them are cultivated in warm regions facing the sea. It is said that Nagasaki Prefecture's potatoes entered Nagasaki Port from Java (now Indonesia) in 1598 by the Dutch. After that, I heard that it has been cultivated all over the country while being used as a famine crop during several famines. According to records since the beginning of the modern era, about 500 ha was cultivated at the end of the Meiji era, and it seems that the largest area was 2987 ha in 1945 and 8570 hectares in 1954 immediately after the end of the war. However, from the following year, it started to decrease, and it is said that it will be 4000 ha in 2013. Cultivation is divided into five cropping types, mainly in the autumn cropping from September to December and the spring cropping from March to June, which can secure the optimum temperature for growth, resulting in five cropping patterns, and the harvest is in November. It seems to be mid-June of the following year. Autumn cultivation is mainly cultivated on the Shimabara Peninsula, and the shipment volume is about 5,500 tons. Since it is cultivated in the open field, it is easily affected by the drought in autumn, and the yield is small due to the time of the typhoon, so the crop seems to be unstable. Autumn mulch cultivation seems to be cultivated in the warm areas of the Shimabara Peninsula, where the first frost is delayed. The shipment volume is about 4500 tons. Winter tunnel cultivation is mainly cultivated on Fukue Island, and the shipment volume is about 300 tons. Previously, it was actively planted on the Shimabara Peninsula, but it seems that it has shifted from tunnels to non-woven solid coating due to the inability to secure yields for the labor and cost. At the southern tip of the Shimabara Peninsula, which is the main cropping type of the prefecture and is a frost-free area, it seems that the harvest is from late April to mid-June when the rain falls. The shipment volume was about 37,000 tons in 2015. Since the yield is affected by frost damage, it seems that a non-woven solid coating is used as in winter crops in order to secure a stable and early shipment volume. Since it is cultivated twice a year in spring and autumn, unique varieties suitable for double-cropping in warm regions are cultivated. In 1971, the high-yielding and tasty “Dejima” was cultivated in both spring and autumn, and in 1978, the extremely high-yielding “Nishiyutaka(In 1970, at the Nagasaki Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry Center Aino Potato Center, artificial mating of “Dejima” as a mother and father “Chokei No. 65” was carried out (Saikai No.15). In 1978, it was registered as a variety as “Bareisho Norin No.23”. Suitable for warm southwestern regions, excellent in fertility. Expected to grow and harvest in spring and autumn(Since the crops were swollen and the yield was high, the cultivation increased rapidly especially in spring mulching since 1985.)The flesh is pale yellow and the flesh is moist. The leaf color's dark green, which is slightly darker than “Dejima”. The leaflets are a little thick inside and reach a little sparse. 「Plasmodium resistance major gene: Epidemic resistance leading gene」Ralstonia solanacearum(bacterial disease of eggplant: To provide a bacterial wilt disease resistant inducer which contains a compound indicating resistant induction activity against a bacterial wilt disease as an effective component, and a bacterial wilt disease prevention method using the compound. -Patent Office), Bacterial soft rot(soft rot pathogen: To provide a mass production method of seed potato seedlings, capable of preventing rot and soft rot of a rooting zone to increase probability of survival, and mass-producing at one time nondisease seed potato seedlings capable of increasing percentage of rootage when planting.

Weak to powdery potato common scab (spongospora subterranea, causative strain, 16S rRNA gene (Prokaryote, gene sequence) or 16S rRNA gene to amplify between ITS region (Ribosomal DNA; rDNA; Eukaryote), a novel primer pair, And a method for detecting and identifying the causative strain of potato scab using them.(NEW PRIMER PAIR FOR AMPLIFYING BETWEEN ITS REGIONS FROM 16SrRNA GENE OR 16SrRNA GENE OF POTATO SCAB-CAUSING STRAIN, AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND IDENTIFYING POTATO SCAB-CAUSING STRAIN WITH THE NEW PRIMER PAIR- Patent Office), From Potato mop-top virus, it is transmitted by tuber brown ring pattern disease. Somewhat weak resistance. However, the field resistance is quite strong. Since there's little dehiscence of potatoes and little breakage of foliage due to the wind, it's widely suitable for the second cropping area in western Japan.)” was cultivated, and it is said that it is now the main variety of round varieties. On the other hand, as soil diseases such as Spongospora subterranea and Pseudomonas solanacearum, and resistant varieties such as Globodera rostochiensis, “Aiyutaka(According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration, this variety was bred by crossing “Dejima” with “Chokei No. 108”. The potato shape is oval, the skin color is white yellow, and the flesh color is pale yellow. Potato cyst nematode It is a variety suitable for cooking with resistance. The flora is slightly upright, the individual weight type and the number type are slightly individual weight type, the stem length is short, the thickness is medium, the stem color (primary color) is green, the number of branches is slightly small, and the leaf color is The density of green and leaflet is medium, the number of hair mushrooms on the leaves is small, the number of flowers is rare, the flower color (primary color) is reddish purple, the flower color (secondary color) is white, and the distribution is even. The length of the branch is a little short, the depth of the potato set is a little shallow, the length of the potato is a little long, the flatness is weak, the shape is oval, the skin color is white-yellow, the rough skin is slippery, the eyes The depth is extremely shallow, the flesh color is pale yellow, the dormant period is a little short, the dying period is medium, the early hypertrophy is a little fast, the upper potatoes are quite heavy, the number of upper potatoes is medium, and the average weight of one upper potato is a little. Large, slightly sticky to medium flesh, medium resistance to Y mosaic disease, weak resistance to epidemic field, and putative genotype of potato cyst nematode resistance is H1. Compared to “Digima”, it has a shorter stem length, a reddish-purple flower color with white stripes, and a potato cyst nematode resistance putative genotype(Derived from the strain “CPC1673” cultivated in the highlands of South America, “Atlantic”, “Aiyutaka”, “Sayaka”, “Toya”, etc. have the “Rx”1 gene: Potatoes.) of H1, so it is compared with “Nishiyutaka”. Then, it is said that the distinction is recognized by the fact that the flower color is reddish purple and white stripes are included, the rough skin of the epidermis is slippery, and the putative genotype of potato cyst nematode resistance is H1.)” was cultivated in 2002 and “Sanjumaru(The origin of the variety name is that it has three excellent characteristics: “resistant to pests”, “high yield”, and “good appearance”. Announcement of variety registration application in August 2010.)” was cultivated in 2010. May queen is cultivated in spring crops and seems to ship about 8,000 tons from mid-May to June. The annual sales amount varies greatly depending on the year, and it seems that it is an item with large price fluctuations, but the handling volume has remained relatively stable at 40,000 to 50,000 tons in the past 10 years (as of 2015). Seems to be there. This is because more than 80% of the handling volume utilizes ALIC's designated vegetable price stabilization business, so risk management when the market selling price falls functions and reproduction is secured. This seems to be because it greatly contributes to the maintenance of production area and quantity. The shipping period is from November to July, and the main shipping time is from May to June. It seems that the occupancy rate of Nagasaki potatoes in the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market in 2014 was 46% in May and 56% in June, and 72% in May and 82% in June in the Osaka Central Wholesale Market. Nagasaki Prefectural Central Agricultural Cooperative is located in the southern part of Nagasaki Prefecture. It has jurisdiction over 2 cities and 3 towns: Isahaya City, Omura City, Higashisonogi Town, Kawatana Town, and Hasami Town. The climate is mild, with an average annual temperature of 16.3 degrees Celsius, precipitation of 2294 mm, and sunshine hours of 1866 hours. Winters are also relatively warm, with snowfall only once every few years. It is said that various agriculture such as vegetables such as onions, potatoes and strawberries, livestock and fruit trees are being developed in the jurisdiction. Onions in the Isahaya area are cultivated in the Isahaya Plain, including the Isahaya reclamation, from the hills at the foot of the Tara Mountains. JA's Onion Subcommittee produces from ultra-early onions for fruits and vegetables to processed and commercial onions. Seeding begins in mid-September, planting is carried out from November to December, and from late March to June. It seems to ship until the middle of the beginning. It has been cultivated in this area since 1901, more than 100 years ago, and in 1973, it was designated as a designated vegetable production area, and full-scale co-sale shipments began. Since then, he has continued efforts to meet the needs of club members, such as improving the fruit sorting area, and is said to maintain a co-sale rate of almost 100% even now. Looking at the shipping destinations, it seems that the Kansai market such as Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto is 70%, the Chushikoku market such as Hiroshima is 20%, and the Kyushu market such as Fukuoka is 10%. In the subcommittee, the number of producers is decreasing due to the aging of the club members, and it seems that the number of club members, which exceeded 300 in 1998, fell below 200 in 2013. However, during this period, the cultivation area increased from about 70 ha to 90 ha due to labor saving by introducing machines, and the shipment volume exceeded 4000 tons in 2011. In addition, it is said that it has newly worked on the production of processed and commercial onions, and the sales amount exceeded 400 million yen in 2014. Recently, I heard that the number of members in 2016 was 176, the planted area was 108 ha, and the production volume was 3116 tons. It seems that the subcommittee introduced environmentally friendly cultivation technology with the aim of producing safe and secure onions in the wake of the transaction with the co-op that started in 1996. In 2002, we started analysis of residual pesticides. In 2003, he thoroughly recorded the history of pesticide application, and in 2004, he was certified as an environmentally friendly farmer (as recognized by law). Furthermore, since 2010, it is said that it has been working on the acquisition of Nagasaki Prefecture GAP(Good Agricultural Practice)for the purpose of risk management in agricultural work processes and maintenance of producers' health. In addition, since there is an Isahaya Bay reclamation pond, which is a closed water area, and improvement of water quality is an issue, green manure crops such as solgo are cultivated after harvesting onions to prevent soil runoff and conduct soil analysis. It seems that they are working to purify the water quality of the preparation pond by striving for proper fertilization. The subcommittee has been producing early-maturing onions for fruits and vegetables for many years, but the labor was concentrated on planting and harvesting, making it difficult to expand the cultivation area. Therefore, since 2012, since the shipping time is late, the cropping type has been extended, the concentration of labor can be avoided, and the shipping preparation work has been simplified at a fixed price. Since 2014, it is said that it is trying to improve income and stabilize management by expanding the cultivation area by utilizing the processing and commercial vegetable production base strengthening project, which is a public offering project of the Agriculture and Livestock Industries Corporation. In addition, the subcommittees hold general meetings, shipping councils, branch-specific roundtable discussions, production promotion competitions, shipping eye-matching meetings, and fairs, as well as pest control patrols and study meetings for new varieties and fertilizers. , Active activities such as demonstrations of new machines are underway. I explained the actual situation of the agricultural cooperative with reference to the materials, but next I would like to move on to the introduction of the jurisdiction and the area. “Isahaya City, Nagasaki Prefecture”, It is located almost in the center of the prefecture. It faces three seas with different characteristics: the tidal flat Ariake Sea in the east, the inland sea Omura Bay in the west, and the open sea Tachibana Bay in the south. The Honmyo River is the only first-class river in the prefecture that flows through the beautifully towering mountains of the Tatara Mountains and the central part of the city. Downstream of it is a vast reclaimed land, blessed with a rich and diverse natural environment. The Isahaya Plain, formed by reclamation for more than 400 years, is the largest breadbasket in the prefecture. The fertile hills are a specialty of vegetables, strawberries and mandarin oranges. It has an industrial park, which is one of the prefecture's leading industrial clusters, and has the second largest shipment value of manufactured goods in the prefecture. One city and five towns merged on March 1, 2005. We are promoting town development aiming at the realization of “Isahaya, a creative city where humans shine”. It is warm all year round, with little winter snow, and has a good balance of rich nature and transportation access.

There are many Sepals and petals, and all flowers are double-flowered. Kuroda five inches carrot(About 6.5 centimeters long)Carrot original species breeding society : Omura City specialty. Japan's only breeding group for the original species organized by Farmers. Around the end of the Taisho Period, Mr. Tadashi KURODA of Kuromaru Town introduced Maruyama-Gosun from Japan Agriculture and Forestry. Nagasaki-Gosun was also cultivated in the same area. Mr. Kuroda and Mr. Yoshida repeat seeding from 1935 to 1945. Then, the Natural Crossing is cultivated by improving the color of the core. In 1973, KURODA Gosun was cultivated in about 50% of the total area of ​​carrot designated production areas nationwide. In 1960, a training group was formed. This variety has very strong heat resistance-Summer sowing type varieties. The root color is the darkest of the carrot varieties, deep red-orange to the center. It has a very high CAROTENE content, and the meat is soft and has no carrot odor. The taste is the best, especially as a healthy food such as raw food and juice.

It occupies 55% of the tea plantation area in Nagasaki prefecture. Approximately 440 t(440,000 kg)of dried tea leaves are produced annually by 270 farmers in the town. This accounts for 60% of the prefecture's production and is rooted in local industry. Sonogi TEA : It refers to Nagasaki Tamaryokucha, which follows the traditional flow of hand-roasted green tea fired in hot pans after a short withering (common Chinese technique) : It is called steamed ‘Tamaryokucha’ because of the finishing method. It is very rare, with only about 3% share of the national Green TEA production. Unlike sencha, the external appearance has a round shape like a magatama : It is characterized by its mellow taste with less astringency. We will make various efforts to make more people aware of this deliciousness. Persons involved in the town, including the Promotion Council : PR activities at events, campaigns, etc., Promote brand establishment and further spread. In July 2016, the town enacted the “Shaza Cafe Ordinance.” ZEN's word for hospitable, “Sit down and enjoy TEA.” This ordinance is for celebrations, banquets, dinners, etc., the idea is to spread the habit of toasting cold tea with water in a glass(TEA's toast ordinance).

The history of Nagasaki Mikan is that in 1780 (Tenmei era), the lord of the Omura feudal lord, Prince Omura Junjin, was the Satsuma feudal clan's “Nagashima Mikan” (Izumi-gun (former)). : Higashimachi) Wenshu Mikan in Nagaogo Town) was cultivated by Mr. Yuiemon Tanaka, Mr. Rinemon Tanaka, and Mr. Tsuguemon Nakamichi in Ikirikimura, Mitsunomatago (currently Tarami Town, Mitsunomatago). listening.(Citrus Unshiu has heard that the seeds brought back from China by the envoy to Tang China began to bear fruit and were found in Kagoshima.)It is said that “Ikiriki-based Citrus unshiu” has been cultivated from the Ikiriki region and has been cultivated, and saplings have been shipped nationwide. In 1876, mandarin oranges were sold by hand in the castle town. In addition, from around 1887, the production area of ​​mandarin oranges was expanded in'Ikiriki Village', and even today, the area is the main production area in Nagasaki Prefecture. From 1961, “Fruit Tree Agriculture Promotion Special Measures Law Enforcement (Cabinet Order No. 145)”, the Nagasaki Prefecture Citrus Promotion Plan was formulated, and the citrus cultivation area increased rapidly throughout the prefecture. Demand for fruit trees in Japan is generally declining and stagnant, and there is a growing tendency for small quantities to be sold as other items and for good quality. Many fruits, including mandarin oranges, are in overproduction. There are increasing demands from other countries to expand imports of fruits and fruit products. In order to achieve sound development, it is necessary to deal with the overproduction trend of fruits.Induce production that responds to trends. Fostering independent fruit tree farmers who can be the core players in the production area. And it is necessary to further strengthen the constitution of fruit tree agriculture. The system for promoting fruit tree agriculture was strengthened(Partial amendment of Law No. 15, July 1, 1985). To the prefectural governor, the then Vice-Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries(After retiring, he will assume the post of chairman of the Norinchukin Bank.). In 1597, Nagasaki was the first onion to land in Japan by a Portuguese ship. The production of early-maturing onions is thriving, and it has a good reputation for its freshness and good taste. I hear that potato was introduced from Jakarta to nagasaki by a Dutch ship in 1598. It boasts the second largest production volume after Hokkaido, and Minamishimabara City is one of the leading production areas in the prefecture. Cultivation started in earnest in the Meiji era, and now it is cultivated based on two crops, spring and autumn, taking advantage of the warm climate. Asparagus officinalis was introduced to Nagasaki as ornamental from the Netherlands during the Edo period. There are spring and summer seasons, and spring asparagus grows slowly over time, so it has a strong sweetness and is rich in minerals and especially vitamin C. Summer asparagus has a beautiful light green color because it grows at a stretch due to the blessings of the daytime sun, and it is soft to the vicinity of the root. I hear that the bright red tomatoes were introduced to Nagasaki from the Netherlands at the end of the 17th century”. City jurisdiction, Kuidetsu, Takematsuhonmachi, Ozato Town, Matsubarahonmachi.

Sugar content of 11.5 degrees or more: Taking advantage of the warm climate, the inside of the pipe where mandarin oranges with high sugar content are made has a high mulch coverage, and high quality mandarin oranges are produced. The actual situation, “Wase Iwasaki”, was discovered in 1968 by Mr. Denichi Iwasaki of Nakaura Nango (currently Saikai City), Saikai Town, Nishisonogi District, Nagasaki Prefecture, as a sport of “Wase Okitsu” in the field. It is a polar Wase variety. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Seedling Law has not yet been confirmed. In the field of Mr. Tsuguo Ozaki of “Sasebo unshu”, Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, a branch change was confirmed from the 15-year-old tree of “Wase Miyagawa”, and it was discovered in 1975. In 1993, the virus-free: Once infected, plants cannot be excluded from immunity and cannot escape the virus for the rest of their lives. In 1998, it seems that the sale of seedlings to the Mikan production area in Nagasaki Prefecture became popular. The harvest season is expected from late November to early December, and it is a Nakate type, which is about 10 days later than “Wase Miyagawa”. Effects of Sheet-mulching and Rootstock on Flowering in Satsuma Mandarin 'Sasebo Unshiu',In this study, the effects of sheet-mulching and rootstock on expression of Citrus FLOWERING LOCUS T (CiFT), number of flowers, and yield were investigated in satsuma mandarin 'Sasebo Unshiu' grafted on trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.) or 'Hiryu' (Flying Dragon) for several years. In the analysis of data from a plural year, rootstock and sheet-mulching had no influence on CiFT expression or the number of flowers. On the other hand, in the analysis of data from a respective single year, significant differences were detected in CiFT expression and the number of flowers in some years. Trees both with and without sheet-mulching tended to flower in alternate years, and the pattern in trees with sheet-mulching were opposite to those without sheet-mulching. In the year when trees with sheet-mulching produced more flowers than the average number, those without sheet-mulching had fewer than the average number of flowers, and vice versa. The alternate bearing index in each tree showed that the annual change in the CiFT mRNA level was significantly greater in trees with than without sheet-mulching. These results suggest that sheet-mulching cultivation makes annual floral induction unstable in 'Sasebo unshiu' although this instability has no effect on the number of flowers or yield.

Vitamin C, which is abundant, can be expected to have the effect of increasing resistance to diseases such as colds. It is widely known that it is involved in immunity because it is abundant in white blood cells and lymphocytes that fight viruses and bacteria that have entered the body. The pigment component β-cryptoxanthin seems to have the effect of promoting antibody production and boosting immunity. Vitamin P (Flavonoid; quercetin(C15H10O7), C28H34O15: polyphenol; Glycotransfer works in cooperation with vitamin C to regulate the permeability of the capillary membrane so that it does not become too permeable.)

I heard that the standard intake of 200g is 2 for mandarin oranges and 1 for apples.

In the production area, we are focusing on making delicious carrots day and night, and the market has also received a good reputation as ”a deep red color that beautifully colors the center.” By selecting varieties that are particular about meat quality, it is attractive for a wide range of uses from conventional raw foods to juices and for its good flavor. Classified as green-yellow vegetables, the amount of β-carotene is extremely high compared to other green-yellow vegetables, and it is an excellent vegetable that is effective in antioxidant action that does not rust inside the body.

“Oirase Akobo Ancient burial mound” has opened as a guidance facility for the national historic site “Akobo cluster of tumulus tombs”. In addition to exhibiting items excavated from the Akobo Kofun group, it seems that they are also conducting regular seasonal exhibitions and hands-on learning of making magatama and pottery. There is also a history exhibition room on the second floor that doubles as a resting space. Furthermore, on the second floor, you can see Hayabusa running on the Tohoku Shinkansen from the window, and it is said that coffee is also sold by yourself. The facility is free to enter except for the exhibition room, so the epidemic has improved a little, so why don't I visit it once?

Former Kawacho Shoten (fruit and vegetable business) is headquartered (fruit and vegetable department), and former Futaba Shokai (millet business) is branch office (rice grain miscellaneous grain department). Moved the head office to Oirase Town. On April 1, 2019, the fruit and vegetable department of the head office was spun off as Kawacho Co., Ltd., and the rice millet division of the branch office was spun off as the stock company KAWACHO RICE. Own farm (JGAP fruits and vegetables 2016: certification number 020000029, expiration date June 15, 2022, radish, carrot, potato, yam, burdock, pumpkin (see Japan GAP Foundation)): Japan Good Agricultural Practice It is translated as “good agricultural practice” and “agricultural production process management” by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Various rules have been established for the safe and secure cultivation of agricultural products and the safety of producers. There is also an item related to environmental protection, aiming for sustainable agricultural management in the future. One of the characteristics of JGAP is that it clearly describes human rights in the working environment. Specifically, labor standards are set, but if there are workers, the employment contract (labor rules) states the period of the labor contract, the place of employment, the work content, the start / end time, the wage determination, etc. It seems certain. This area is the same as a general company, but as mentioned above, it can be a very new way of thinking in Japan, where there are many family-owned businesses and many employees also have part-time employment during the harvest season. There are always employees, and some farms set these from the beginning and prepare contracts, but it seems that it is necessary to prepare these when acquiring JGAP. It seems that the guidelines clearly state that if overtime occurs, it is within the scope of the 36 (Saburoku) agreement. In addition, when hiring foreign workers, the contract is created in a language that the workers can understand, and the contents that lead to the prevention of unfair employment of foreign trainees, which has been a problem in the past, are also described. Has been done. At the end of March 2017, a standard was established as the Japanese version of the Livestock GAP with the aim of expanding exports of Japanese livestock products. The JGAP livestock and livestock product standards have been developed and published by the Japan GAP Foundation. It is announced as a certified farm on the website of the Japan GAP Foundation. Wild ancestral species of ginseng are widely distributed in Afghanistan, Central Asia and the Caucasus region. It seems that the Himalayan Hindu Kushi foothills area of ​​Afghanistan, which has abundant morphology and genetic variation that closely resembles the cultivation type, is presumed to be the place of origin where the cultivation type was established. It seems that cultivated Afghan strains have spread to the west and east from this area. To the west, it was transmitted to Turkey in the 10th to 11th centuries, and in the southwestern part of Anatolia, a new European descent was established from the progeny of the hybrid by crossing the Afghan system with a subspecies native to the Mediterranean region to Iran. After that, European descent spread to Spain in the 12th century, northwestern Europe in the 14th century, and England in the 16th century. Today, the varieties cultivated worldwide are mainly orange short varieties, but until the 16th century, varieties were purple or yellow long-rooted varieties, and purple varieties seemed to be universal. However, when purple seeds are used as ingredients for soup, they are not preferred because they turn purple-brown, and yellow seeds are the main ingredients. Seeds have become popular. Propagation to the east entered North China via Yunnan in the early part of the former era in China, and spread throughout China, establishing an oriental system. It seems that he entered Japan from China during the Muromachi period. As an aside, regarding ginseng, Japan and Joseon are geographically close to each other, and it seems that it was around that time that the mysterious ginseng, a mysterious remedy, came to Japan. It seems that the first record is that in 739, King Wen of Bohai gave 30 loaves of ginseng to Emperor Shomu in the heat of the heat. After that, it seems that ginseng was almost continuously donated to Japan from the Korean Peninsula. During the Ashikaga period, the Korean delegation who came to the Muromachi Shogunate brought ginseng as a “diplomatic gift”, and I heard that Japan rewarded it with silver as a “diplomatic gift”. Throughout its long history, ginseng came to Japan from the Korean Peninsula as a gift and trade item, but cultivation began in the Tokugawa era and the era of 8s Shogun Yoshimune-Ko. It seems that he succeeded in cultivating ginseng for the first time in 1729. Returning to the story, in detail, it seems that oriental ginseng was introduced to China around the 13th century. It came to Japan in the early 16th century Edo period. However, even before the introduction of oriental ginseng to Japan, there was a ginseng that was used as a medicinal plant for nutritional tonics in Japan. That is this ginseng (so-called ginseng). Ginseng is a perennial plant of the Araliaceae family and is different from the Umbelliferae carrot. However, it seems that the oriental ginseng was named “Oenanthe
carrot” to distinguish it from this ginseng. When 8s Shogun Yoshimune planted vegetable seeds collected from all over the country and made a prototype, an excellent carrot variety was found, and it seems that he began to cultivate it near Takinogawa, Kita Ward. That is the Edo specialty “Takinogawa carrot”. The length is 1m, and it has a reddish-red color peculiar to the oriental species. It is a famous story that Western ginseng crossed the sea from Europe to Nagasaki at the end of the Edo period. In the Meiji era, more varieties of Western ginseng were introduced. Although oriental ginseng is a good variety, it has the disadvantage of being difficult to cultivate (because long-rooted varieties take time to cultivate and handle after harvesting), western ginseng has become the mainstream in Japan since the 1955s. Seems to be there. Regarding the mainstream cultivation method, carrots are not good at acidic soil, so it is necessary to sprinkle lime on the fields to weaken the acidity. At that time, sprinkle fertilizer together and let the fields lie. It seems that it is good to remove the stones in the soil so that the carrots will grow straight. Sprinkle several seeds in one place. Leave about 10 cm between stump and stump. The seeds like the sunlight, so the soil is shallow. When the fields are dry, water them. Thin out when the number of true leaves is 4-5. Thin out the ones that grow poorly and the ones that grow too well, and do something in the middle. It seems that if it grows too well, the roots may split into two or three. In recent years, the shipment volume of carrots in Aomori Prefecture is the fourth largest in Japan. It is soft and sweet, and has a good reputation for good preservation. Probably because of the blessed climate, cultivation methods and techniques that producers can do. Shipments peaked in July, before shipments from Hokkaido began in earnest, and carrots from Aomori Prefecture are enthusiastic at the Osaka Municipal Central Wholesale Market and the Nagoya Central Wholesale Market. Introducing the former office of Kawacho Co., Ltd. I remember mentioning it before. “Misawa City”, Aomori Prefecture is a treasure trove of Jomon culture, and many archaeological sites have been discovered in the city. The Noguchi shell mound and Waseda shell mound around Lake Ogawara are particularly famous, and the pottery from the late Jomon period excavated from Noguchi is said to be as elaborate as the Kamegaoka site in Kizukuri Town, Nishitsugaru District, and is a valuable research material. The Misawa City Museum of History and Folklore has a large collection of a wide range of historical materials such as these archaeological materials, fishing gear, kagura masks of folk performing arts, and ancient documents. In addition, rare animal and plant specimens of Lake Ogawara are also exhibited, and it is a mysterious place where you can experience the traditional life and environment in this place rich in nature. During the feudal era, the largest ranch “Kizaki no Maki” of the Nanbu Morioka domain was spread, and even after the Meiji era, it was taken over by the Sabishirotai shared ranch and the village ranch, and has long been widely known as a horse-producing area. Even now, in the suburbs, you can still see the scenery of horses and cows grazing, and you can remember those days. 淋代平; Miss Veedol: 1931 Mr. Herndon and Mr. Pangbourne's starting point for a non-landing transpacific flight. In addition, the population of Misawa Airport (base), which was built by the Japanese Navy before the Pacific War, has increased sharply due to the requisition and expansion of the US military after the war. It has developed as a city full of exoticism. As a city with a reserve of Jomon archaeological sites, a vast ranch site, an airport, and a fishing port built on a sandy beach, which is rare in Japan, the city will continue to have a diverse face and history with local residents. Due to the cool climate, rare alpine plants such as Buckbean, Daylily, and Drosera rotundifolia L. can be seen even on flat ground. Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean in the east and Lake Ogawara in the west, it has a varied natural environment such as forests, plateaus, grasslands, paddy fields, tidal flats, lakes and coasts. The Phragmites australis grassland, which stretches about 20 minutes north of the city center by car, is a treasure trove of nature and a wetland registered under the Ramsar Convention, Hotoke Swamp. The registration date is November 8, 2005, and it is famous as a low-rise marsh: Nationally Designated Buddhist Wildlife Sanctuary Buddhist Swamp Special Protection Area. Located in the north, a grassland wetland between the Pacific Ocean on the east and Lake Ogawara on the west. Due to the cold winds of the easterly wind “Yamase” from spring to summer and the monsoon “Hakkoda grated” from autumn to winter, this area is flat but has alpine plant communities and both the southern and northern limits. Animals and plants can be seen. In addition, it plays a major role as a breeding ground for rare birds such as the Japanese Marsh Warbler and Ochre-rumped bunting, which are designated as endangered species, as well as a landing site for migratory birds such as waterfowl. Rare wild birds such as the Yellow rail and the Japanese endangered Eastern marsh harrier inhabit, such as cancers, ducks, yellow rails, and dianthus superbus L. You can also see wildflowers such as var. Superbus, Achillea alpina subsp. Japonica, and Scutellaria strigillosa var. Yezoensis, which are visited by many people who enjoy nature. The city is known as a good point for surfing, with its Pacific coastal waves and sandy beaches. Around Lake Ogawara, a citizen's forest park has been developed, where you can enjoy your leisure time with the blue sky and lush nature, and your feelings will be refreshed. There are auto campsites and bungalows on the shores of the lake where the gentle waves come, and when you walk along the promenade that goes around, you can hear the birds singing in the clear air. At baseball stadiums and tennis courts, you can sweat refreshingly and wash your feelings. What comes to my mind is the 51st National High School Baseball Championship Final, in which Aomori Prefectural Misawa High School participated and won, and on August 18, 1969, the moving game and suspicion judgment from the next day. Regarding suspicions, the rules do not stipulate the relationship between the university of origin and seniors and juniors. It's all about this. No matter how the times pass, everyone has a feeling. Indeed, it connects with the present age. The first decision is to clear the suspicion, but it cannot be established without each reason. I think that if you don't always break through, you can't move on. In addition, hot spring excavation is actively carried out in the city, and in addition to the municipal hot spring (Yasuragi villa) in the citizen's forest, there are hot spring public baths in various parts of the city. Misawa City is located in the southeastern part of Aomori Prefecture, facing the Pacific Ocean to the east and Lake Ogawara to the west. It is a flat land with an area of ​​about 120 km2, about 11 km east-west, about 25 km north-south. Located in the southern part of the prefecture, which has prospered as a horse-producing area since ancient times, the city area was included in the “Kizaki no Maki(Horse pasture directly managed by the Southern Clan)” of the feudal ranch during the Edo period, and people were involved in horse-producing and fishing. It became the US military Misawa base and has undergone a major transformation. Today, as a city in the sky with one of the leading aviation facilities in Japan, many US military personnel, civilian employees and their families live in it, and it continues to develop independently as an international city with an exotic atmosphere. Sister city exchange with Wenatchee and East Wenatchee in Washington, USA, triggered by Miss Veedol, the world's first non-landing crossing of the Pacific Ocean: Many illustrious events such as American Day, International Summer Festival, and Misawa Air Base Festival are also held. The nature, history and culture of the city, each with its own rich expression. “Aomori Prefectural Misawa Aviation & Science Museum” that tells the deep relationship with the sky, “International Exchange Education Center”, a base facility for international exchange: “Roadside Station Misawa Tonami Clan Memorial Tourist Village” that introduces Mr. Yasuto HIROSAWA (Place of birth: Aizuwakamatsu City), who opened a modern Western-style ranch, and sells special products of the city: Furthermore, it is a wonderful place where you can experience the international cultural city, such as the “Shuji TERAYAMA Memorial Hall” that introduces the unique world of the genius Mr. Shuji TERAYAMA(あゝ、荒野, ひとりぼっちのあなたに, 天井桟敷; 身毒丸). City area 119.87 km2, latitude 40 degrees 40 minutes north, longitude 141 degrees 22 minutes east. It is known that winter is a northern country, but the amount of snowfall is small, and there are many sunny days due to the monsoon that blows from the northwest. Due to the influence of the easterly wind (Yamase) that blows from spring to summer, the coastal area is often covered with cold air and thick fog, and it can be seen that the end of the rainy season is late and summer is short. In the land rich in nature, burdock, dioscorea opposita, garlic, etc., which are one of the highest quality in Japan, are produced, and poultry farming and pig farming are also actively carried out and gaining popularity. As for marine products, good quality squid and smelt are caught in the Pacific Ocean, and clams and smelt tend to be caught in Lake Ogawara. The catch of squid produced in the prefecture is the highest in Japan. Among them, the Japanese Common squid from Misawa is nicknamed “Red Dragonfly” because it is caught in the daytime under strict quality control and displayed in the central market and supermarkets in the metropolitan area the next morning. It is popular and has excellent taste and freshness, and is highly evaluated by consumers and related parties. Japanese Common Squid is registered as a regional collective trademark endorsed by the Japan Patent Office on June 3, 3rd year of Reiwa under the name of “Misawa noon squid”. As a proof of its quality, the Styrofoam squid box has a sticker of “Misawa noon squid” with an illustration of Miss Veedol (Red airplane). At restaurants in the city, sliced raw fish is also cooked alive. Yamazaki Pork is a Misawa brand that focuses on quality, food, and the environment. Pigs raised in a highly hygienic environment are safe and secure. In addition, it contains about 7 times as much C29H50O2 as ordinary pigs due to carefully selected pure vegetable feed given at the final finishing stage, and has a light fat and soft meat without odor. 三沢市教育委員会(さくら町)1989 “三沢市遺跡詳細分布調査報告書” 三沢市埋蔵文化財調査報告書6 : 風穴遺跡 : 公園建設のための試掘調査, 集落, 縄文, 土坑1, 柱穴状ピット3, 土器, 石器, 土製品, Both the remains and the relics are considered to be around the time of the 10 large trees in the middle of the Jomon period.

In February 1994, “Honen Dance” was designated as a city intangible folk cultural property. ”Oirase Town” is located in the southeastern part of the prefecture and has a population of about 25,000. The Oirase River, which originates from Lake Towada in the south, flows into the Pacific Ocean. The average annual temperature is about 10.9 ℃, which is a cool climate. In winter, although the temperature is low, there is little rainfall and it is the region with the least snow in Aomori Prefecture. It seems that nature, agricultural land, commercial land, industrial land, and residential area are arranged in a well-balanced manner. Although the area (residential area 58.97 km2 population density (residential area) 4.11 ha) is small, it is the most populous town in the prefecture and has a high population density, enabling efficient administrative management and great development potential. Known as a town with. It is attractive to be working on various measures to create a town where it is easy to raise children. He visits all families with babies up to 4 months old and provides information and advice on parenting. It seems that there is an environment in which child-rearing families can live with peace of mind, such as free medical expenses for children, no waiting-list children in nursery schools, and extended childcare. Part of the kindergarten childcare fee for children after the third child is subsidized. For low-income earners, the entire amount of kindergarten childcare fees minus kindergarten enrollment incentives is subsidized. In addition, if there are three or more children under the age of 18, it seems that the childcare fee will be free if the third and subsequent children use the kindergarten, nursery school, certified childcare center, etc. that will shift to the new system. Since January 2019, the town has been making efforts to cover the entire school lunch fee as part of reducing the financial burden on parents and supporting child-rearing. In principle, use 5 after-school children's clubs (3 directly managed by the town and 2 outsourced to the private sector) in the town for free. In addition, two after-school children's classrooms in the town can be used free of charge. Extended childcare Including all 13 daycare centers, holiday childcare, temporary childcare business, community childcare support center, and post-illness childcare are carried out by the town consignment business. Subsidize part of the medical expenses covered by insurance for fathers or mothers of single-parent families and their children. However, there seems to be an income limit. A school bus is operated to secure transportation for some children who have difficulty commuting to school on foot, such as being far from school. We provide some assistance for school supplies to those who are in need of financial reasons to send their children to elementary and junior high school. Subsidize enrollment incentives for parents of children enrolled in kindergarten, depending on their income situation. A scholarship is lent to those who have excellent qualities but have difficulty in attending school due to financial reasons. Monthly fee, university / graduate school 40,000 yen, junior college / college / vocational school 30,000 yen, high school 10,000 yen. The redemption period seems to be full redemption (interest-free) from one year after the month of graduation to twice the loan period. Koyo / Shimoda Elementary School District Child-rearing generation settlement subsidy system, as one of the measures against population decline and declining birthrate and aging population, a subsidy is provided to households who have moved to the subsidized area in the town by acquiring a house or remodeling their parents' home. Part of the cost is subsidized for the merged septic tank installed by individuals for the treatment of domestic wastewater outside the sewerage business licensed area. Unoccupied house bank There is a system that introduces information on unoccupied houses to those who wish to settle in the town, with information received from owners such as “I want to sell unoccupied houses” and “I want to rent unoccupied houses”. For the elderly, we subsidize vaccination costs for voluntary vaccination against seasonal influenza and pneumococcus. In addition, routine immunization is carried out for infants, children and students according to the Immunization Law. It seems that all basic medical examinations (refreshing adult medical examination, National Health Insurance specific medical examination, and late-stage elderly medical examination) can be taken free of charge. However, cancer screening is at your own expense. We are effectively continuing and expanding the “Issuance of Health Handbook”, “Health Education”, “Health Counseling”, “Health Examination”, and “Visit Guidance” based on the health promotion business. It also aims to foster district organizations and revitalize their activities. Hachinohe area cooperation for domestic patent applications, etc. Strategically for small and medium-sized enterprises in the central metropolitan area (Oirase Town, Hachinohe City, etc. 8 municipalities) by protecting intellectual property rights and developing new products and products Part of the cost is subsidized for the purpose of utilizing intellectual property and revitalizing the industry. Assistance to relatively small amount of machinery such as attachments for agricultural machinery to snow-resistant pipe houses to expand production of agricultural products in winter and farmers who are trying to save labor and expand farming. Part of the expenses related to environmental conservation efforts is subsidized for farmers who promote organic farming and low pesticide farming and carry out environmentally friendly farming. From the start of agriculture until the management stabilizes, it seems that the government funds (up to 1.5 million yen / year, up to 5 years) are provided to new farmers (under 50 years old in principle). In order to secure employment for workers within 3 years after graduation and involuntary turnover, new graduates are hired for business establishments in the town where these people are newly hired as regular workers (regular employees). If you do, you will receive an emergency employment incentive of 30,000 yen per month, and if you hire a non-voluntary employee, you will receive an emergency employment incentive of 20,000 yen per month. Factory location incentives are 100%, 80%, and 60% of the fixed asset tax amount over a three-year period. The employment promotion incentive is 110,000 yen per local employee once. I heard that the delivery will be the year after the operation. It is said that those who wish to start a business or those who have just started a business are providing “specific start-up support” so that they can acquire the four knowledge of management, finance, human resource development, and sales. In addition, it seems that businesses that receive this “specific start-up support” can receive various types of support, such as expanding special provisions for start-up-related guarantees. To conclude, there are two stations of Aoimori Railway Co., Ltd., which are surrounded by water and greenery, and can be reached by car at Misawa Airport, JR Hachinohe Station (Shinkansen), and Hachinohe Port Ferry. All of the terminals can be accessed within 30 minutes, making it highly convenient for commuting to work, school, and outings. In addition, although it is a northern country, there is little snowfall and it is a comfortable place to live in winter.

Physiological disorders such as element deficiency are less likely to occur and damage from pests is relatively small, but due to the long growing days, the period requiring careful management is longer than that of Japanese radish. In addition, since coloring is improved in corrosive soil, it is possible to produce good products even in peatlands. Plant-derived β-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body, keeps the mucous membrane of the skin normal, and is expected to be effective in improving immunity and restoring eyesight. As a variety, “Koyo No. 2” is a long-selling variety that has been cultivated for over 30 years and is known as a representative variety. This variety seems to be easy to cultivate and popular due to its hardness, mechanical harvesting and resistance to sorting and transportation. In addition, “Aibeni (Sumika Agrotech Co., Ltd .: Koraibashi, Chuo Ward, Osaka City: The skin is inconspicuous and the skin quality is beautiful, so it looks good)” and “Ayahomare (Fujii's Seed Co., Ltd .: Jusohigashi, Yodogawa Ward, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture)(Founded 81 years: The above-ground part is upright and a little vigorous, resistant to illness and lush until harvest. Also, since it is highly inhalable, it seems that there is almost no occurrence of blue neck.)I heard that it is cultivated all over Japan. Furthermore, it is rich in dietary fiber, which is a characteristic of root vegetables, and is effective for constipation due to its water-soluble pectin.

In particular, Hokkaido is the most popular, followed by Chiba, Aomori, Tokushima, Saitama, and Ibaraki. The main production areas are Hokkaido for autumn carrots, Chiba, Saitama and Ibaraki for winter carrots, and Chiba and Tokushima for spring and summer carrots.

Sixth industrialization: A long-established Japanese company founded about 90 years ago. I would like to pay tribute to the products filled with love from the traditions of farmers and the cultivated land that has been passed down from many ancestors.

Glutinous Rice is known nationwide as the largest planted area in Japan. About 90% of paddy fields produce glutinous rice, and one-third of the glutinous rice produced in Hokkaido is Nayoro. I heard that it was around 1970 that eight ancestor farmers gathered and started full-scale cultivation. “Policy of reducing acreage (under cultivation)”: This policy was influenced by the rule of the United States after World War II, and as the westernization of the Japanese dining table progressed, the number of Japanese who This is because there was a surplus in rice, which has continued to increase production. It was implemented for nearly 50 years until 2017, but will be abolished in 2018 It overlaps with the year when. Was started. At that time, ordinary rice from Hokkaido was rated low, and Nayoro, which was the northernmost part of rice cultivation and was not blessed with weather conditions, was hit hard.

“Nayoro Chiebun Sunflower Field” is a summer tourist attraction in Nayoro City. The location of the movie “Dog that protects the stars” released in 2012. Japanese manga by Takashi Murakami. It was serialized in “Comic Action(Futabasha Co., Ltd.)”. Famous as a work recommended by the Jury of the Manga Division at the 12th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2008. The catch phrase is, “I'm sure there is hope beyond what I continue to hope for.” The title “Hoshi Mamoru Inu” is a dog that keeps looking at the stars that can never be obtained, and is a word that compares “a person with high hopes”. A moving drama made into a movie starring actor Toshiyuki Nishida. I cried too. A clumsy and kind-hearted middle-aged man who has lost his job and family goes on an unaddressed journey with his dog. It is the whereabouts of a kind-hearted man who is lonely and indulges in reading and is abandoned by his family after restructuring.

Nayoro City, Hokkaido (JA Dohoku Nayoro)
【Derived from the name】
There are various varieties of Ebisu such as Hokkori Ebisu and Chestnut Ebisu. However, unfortunately, it seems unclear why the name of the variety was changed to “Ebisu”.
【Major features】
Nayoro City, where the (JA)Dohoku Nayoro Agricultural Cooperative is located, is located in the center of the Nayoro Basin in northern Hokkaido, between the Teshio River and the Nayoro River. It is longer from north to south than east to west.  Geographically, it is located at 44 degrees north latitude and 142 degrees east longitude, which is quite north of Hokkaido, and is located north of Asahikawa City on National Highway No. 40. It is said that it is prospering as the core area next to Asahikawa in the Kamikawa jurisdiction. The Nayoro area has a climate peculiar to the basin, which has the largest “temperature difference” in Hokkaido, and it seems that the temperature difference between summer and winter is actually about 60 degrees (maximum 39.3 degrees to minimum minus 38.5 degrees). It is characterized by a large temperature difference between day and night regardless of the season, and this temperature difference increases the sugar content of crops and suppresses the outbreak of pests, so it seems to be suitable for safe and secure clean agriculture. Taking advantage of its climate, it is widely known as one of the leading producers of glutinous rice, which boasts the largest acreage in Japan, pumpkin, asparagus, and sweet corn for fruits and vegetables. In 1967, six local producers(Chiebun, Furen, Nayoro)introduced Ebisu pumpkin to this region to make Nayoro pumpkin. I heard that it started with the launch of “Ebisukai”, the predecessor of the current producer subcommittee “JA Dohoku Nayoro Pumpkin Subcommittee”, and selling the product as “Nayoro Ebisu” to the market in Honshu. At first, it seemed to be a series of hardships, such as the cost of transportation being higher than the price of pumpkin and the fact that it rotted during transportation. However, as a result of efforts, it has been gradually recognized that it is a good product, and it is said that it is being traded at a higher price than products from other production areas. As mentioned above, the climate of the Nayoro area is characterized by the temperature difference between day and night, which exceeds 30 degrees in the daytime and drops to around 20 degrees in the night, which gives the sweetness and softness of the pumpkin. It seems that it is highly evaluated because it leads to the pulling out, texture and good taste. Currently, the JA Dohoku Nayoro Pumpkin Subcommittee has 115 producers producing raw food. In addition to raw food, it seems that it also produces pumpkin for processing. JA pumpkins are sown from early May to early June, planted from May 15 to mid-June, and harvested and shipped from early August to late October. With the motto of introducing Wase varieties and responding to consumer needs such as taste and quality, it seems that they are cultivating for raw consumption (fresh) and processing. As for raw food, it seems that the planted area has increased because it is highly evaluated for its good taste, but in recent years, I heard that the area has been decreasing due to labor shortage. It seems that the production subcommittee is engaged in various activities such as selection of varieties according to shipping time, discussions on markets outside Hokkaido, and sales promotion activities. For processing, nine varieties were cultivated at the time of 2016, and there is no production subcommittee, so it seems that JA has its own initiative. In the past, there was a time when the maximum acreage was expanded to about 280 hectares, but it seems that the acreage is decreasing due to labor shortage as well as for raw food. The big difference from raw food is that the process from harvesting to shipping is simplified, and the work seems to be labor-saving. In the past, it was cultivated only for processors, but now it seems that it handles direct transactions with trading companies for processing. In addition, non-standard products generated during sorting for raw food are also sold as pumpkins for processing. All pumpkins for raw consumption are sorted at a co-selection facility. It seems that the equal class is A product and Ⓐ product, the weight of one ball is 1.05 kg or more, and the 10 sphere standard may be treated as a non-standard product depending on the market price. JA has been operating a co-selection facility since 2014, and it seems that it is possible to centrally manage pumpkins harvested in the field by producers from fruit selection to shipping and shipping destinations. A barcode sticker is attached to all shipping cardboard, and it is possible to check the date of fruit selection, the producer, and the production history at the shipping destination. Furthermore, it seems that the selection of equal classes by camera image processing has improved dramatically compared to before it started operation. In addition, it seems that securing the number of workers in the facility and safety management operation were outsourced to an outside contractor at that time. It is said that about 300,000 cases (3,000 tons) are shipped during the season (early August to the end of October). The shipping destinations are about 23 companies and mass retailers nationwide from Hokkaido to Kyushu, and it seems that about 80% of the total is shipped by truck and the rest is shipped by JR container. Although it is a pumpkin for processing, it seems that there are two shipping categories, crowded sphere and non-standard products. Many are said to be used as raw materials for frozen products such as delicious croquettes and cut pumpkins. Regarding non-standard products, those weighing 1 kg or more are sold to processors, and those weighing less than 1 kg are packed in boxes as small pumpkins and shipped by trailers (large trucks). It seems that the production subcommittee selects the varieties and shipping time of pumpkins for raw consumption and informs the market in advance of the varieties, which leads to advantageous sales. In addition, it seems that the Nayoro brand has been highly evaluated for a long time by carefully selecting and shipping using yellow boxes. In addition, I heard that in order to respond to consumers' interest in safety and security, soil diagnosis of all fields and production history of all households are recorded. In addition, it seems that it has a system in which it is possible to identify the shipping date and producer by bar code management even after shipping by conducting a residual pesticide inspection by extracting all varieties. Regarding pumpkins for processing, the shipping destinations of crowded balls are divided to some extent depending on the variety, and it is said that they are shipped according to the needs of processors and trading companies. In addition, it seems that they are incorporating large varieties that are not suitable for raw consumption for processors. Regarding non-standard products, those weighing 1 kg or more are mainly for processors, but I heard that some of the small balls are exported to Asia. “Ebisu Pumpkin” : In Japan, the cultivation of sticky Japanese pumpkin was the mainstream. However, in the 1960s, the taste of Western pumpkin, which had a strong sweetness and was chewy, became popular and gradually spread. In 1964, when the Tokyo Olympics were held, Takii Seed Co., Ltd. (at that time, Nagaoka Mating) announced the Western pumpkin “Ebisu”. It has a strong sweetness and a good taste, and it does not easily boil. In addition, it has gained a position as a standard for pumpkins with good taste, and has become synonymous with pumpkins.It is famous as a long-selling variety that maintains the top share of pumpkins even now, more than half a century after its announcement. Takii & Co., Ltd. seems to have a history of working on F1(Refers to excellent varieties obtained by crossing parents of different strains and varieties.)in order to break through the current situation in order to improve adaptability to new cropping types and yield. It seems that they have collected a large number of native Western species that exist all over the country and found excellent combinations. As a result, in 1962, we succeeded in cultivating a good hybrid of Western pumpkins that is well adapted to early delivery. As a result of trial production for three years since then, it has been introduced as a Wase economic variety far superior to “Hoko Pumpkin”. Ebisu is a very delicious variety with a slightly sticky meat quality due to its good taste and fresh appearance. The flesh color is dark yellow, and the thickness is said to be quite thick. The average weight of one fruit seems to be 100-200 g heavier than “Hoko”. The flesh is thick, so it looks small. The fruit shape is slightly stroked and shoulder-friendly compared to “Hoko”. The color of the pericarp shows beautiful light green leaflets on a fresh dark green background with a black tinge, and it seems that it can be distinguished from other varieties at a glance. It seems that it is easy to make with stress and many flowers. The vines grow wonderfully even at low temperatures, and it seems that the first flowers bloom about 3 days earlier. I heard that it can be planted even earlier. The number of nodes between female flowers depends on the seedling raising conditions, but it seems to be about 4 to 6 nodes, which is clearly more multifloral than the 7 to 8 nodes of the conventional species “Hoko”. It is said that the first fruit of each child grows well and fat by normal cultivation of parent vine picking core. In the case of “Hoko”, it seems that the parent vine is not fat and tends to be distorted even if the fruit is set within 10 sections and the child vine is within 5 sections. Since “Ebisu” is stressful, I heard that even the first fruit in such a low node could be fattened to a splendid fruit of 800g. In addition, it blooms quickly and the best fruits can be expected from the most flowers, so the harvest starts at least 5 days earlier than “Hoko”, and the initial yield is said to be higher. “Ebisu” is slightly more viscous than fragrance and can be eaten especially softly up to the peel, and is more suitable for simmered dishes and sweets than fragrance with a chewy texture. In the first year of general commercialization in 1966, the market popularity was extremely high, and the market conditions were always far ahead of “Hoko”, and it was well received by consumers, and cultivation increased all at once in FY42. As soon as the market people raise their hands to recommend “Ebisu”, which is gaining popularity in the market, to encourage “Ebisu making”. This is the end of the introduction of this product. Let's move on to the topic of production areas for reference. Nayoro City is located almost in the center of the Nayoro Basin formed by the Teshio River in the north and Hokkaido, and borders Omu Town and Shimokawa Town in the east, Horokanai Town in the west, Shibetsu City in the south, and Bifuka Town in the north. The city area is close to a square with 29 km east-west and 34.5 km north-south, and has an administrative area of ​​535.20 km2. National highway No. 40 runs north and south, National highway No. 239 runs on the east side, and the Soya main line runs north and south, forming a wide living area as a transportation hub and developing as a central city in north and Hokkaido, rice field. In recent years, limited express trains have operated on the Soya Main Line, and the Hokkaido Transit Expressway has opened to the Shibetsu-Kenbuchi Interchange, shortening the time to the Central Hokkaido area centered on Sapporo City, mainly in fields such as tourism and industry. It seems that the economic effect is appearing. Since the climate is the Sea of ​​Japan type and belongs to the inland area, the temperature difference between summer and winter is as large as 60 degrees or more, and from May to October it is relatively hot and bright, and the rainfall is average for all roads. It is below. In 2018, the average annual temperature was 6.1 degrees Celsius, the maximum temperature was 34.5 degrees Celsius, the minimum temperature was minus 24.6 degrees Celsius, the annual sunshine time was 1,438.8 hours, the rainfall was 1051 mm, the snowfall was 5,12 m, and the deepest snow depth was 1,40 m. In winter, due to the cold weather, you can enjoy the natural phenomena such as “diamond dust(The appearance of water vapor in the air crystallizing and shining brilliantly looks like a diamond, so it is called fine ice. The temperature is below freezing 10 degrees Celsius. And it is said that the weather is fine, there is no wind, and the dawn is desired. Good visibility and moderate humidity are also considered to be important factors.)” and “sun pillars(A mysterious phenomenon that makes it look as if a pillar of light is falling from the sky when certain weather conditions are met. It is thought that the hexagonal plate-shaped crystals contained in the clouds floating in a horizontal state reflect the sunlight to generate a beautiful sun pillar in the world.)” that are hard to see. The history of the city begins in 1899 when the former village names “Tayoro Village” and “Kaminayoro Village” came under the jurisdiction of the Kocho government office, which is one of the three villages outside Kenbuchi Village. After that, in 1902, both villages came under the jurisdiction of the two village head offices outside the village of Nayoro. Former Furencho changed from Tayoro Village to Furen Village in 1938, and the town system was enforced in 1953. It became Nayoro Town in 1915 from Nayoro Village, and after merging with Chiebun Village in 1954, the city system was enforced in 1956. Furthermore, in March 2006, Furen Town and Nayoro City merged to form a new “Nayoro City”, and a new history began. Depopulated Area Independence Promotion Special Measures Law: Municipalities whose areas are depopulated areas announced based on the provisions of Article 2, Paragraph 2 (designated on March 27, 2016). Special heavy snowfall area: Special measures law for heavy snowfall area: Municipalities with special heavy snowfall area announced based on the provisions of Article 2, Paragraph 3 (designated in 1971). Underdeveloped Area Industrial Development Promotion Law: Municipalities with underdeveloped area industrial development districts announced based on the provisions of Article 2, Paragraph 5 (designated in 1962), Nayoro Shibetsu districts (Nayoro City, Shibetsu City, Wassamu Town, Kenbuchi Town, Shimokawa Town, Bifuka Town). The city is a rural area where delicious crops grow. The first hoe was put in by people who migrated from Yamagata prefecture in 1900. At that time, there was a dense forest of giant trees such as Yezo Spruce, populus maximowicz, red spruce, and oak, and the only means of transportation was the Teshio River boat. In 1903, when a railroad was laid from Asahikawa to Nayoro as the “Teshio Line”, lumber companies who were aware of the abundant timber came one after another from inside and outside of Hokkaido, and the primeval forest that was hindering the clearing was Forest. It seems that it has been in the limelight as a treasure trove of. Picea jezoensis, also known as “Teshio pine,” was also exported overseas. I heard that the peak of the lumber industry is from 1906 to 1918. It is said that timber was gathered from the surrounding forest areas such as Nakagawa, Otoineppu, and Uryu, and a huge amount of wealthy timber was piled up around Nayoro Station. The private residence of the Nishida clan (currently Yuki Akarikan: designated manager (Nayoro Bisou Kogyo Co., Ltd.)), which led the timber economy, and the Nayoro Church built in 1909 convey the remnants of those days. The city is widely known as the largest glutinous rice planting area in Japan. About 90% of paddy fields produce glutinous rice, and one-third of the glutinous rice produced in Hokkaido is Nayoro. It was around 1970 that eight farmers gathered and started full-scale glutinous rice cultivation. This is the year when the government started a “reduction policy” to regulate rice production. At that time, non-glutinous rice produced in Hokkaido was rated low, and Nayoro, which was the northernmost part of rice cultivation and was not blessed with weather conditions, was hit hard. Cultivation of glutinous rice was the choice to stand up from such adversity. If glutinous rice, which is usually eaten as a staple food, and glutinous rice, which is often processed, are mixed, the quality will deteriorate. Rice farmers decided to “make glutinous rice that does not mix with non-waxy rice, even if they buy the rice they eat every day,” and in 1979, switched to glutinous rice in all paddy fields. After that, the cultivation of glutinous rice increased in the neighboring Furencho (currently Nayoro City), and it seems that it became the number one glutinous rice production complex in Japan. Glutinous rice produced in Nayoro is soft and sticky, and is characterized by being hard to harden over time. This was accepted, and famous products such as “Akafuku”, a famous confectionery in Ise, “Original Kibidango”, a specialty of Okayama, and “Rice cake of a red been”, a major convenience store maker, were produced. It seems that glutinous rice has come to be used. In order to make Japan's best glutinous rice the pride of the region, the “Motto! Glutinous Rice Project” has also been developed and is gaining popularity. The city where the Dohoku Nayoro Agricultural Cooperative (hereinafter referred to as “JA Dohoku Nayoro”) is located is located in the center of the Nayoro Basin in northern Hokkaido, between the Teshio River and the Nayoro River, rather than east and west. It has a long shape from north to south. Geographically, it is located at 44 degrees north latitude and 142 degrees east longitude, which is quite north of Hokkaido, and is located north of Asahikawa City on National Highway No. 40. It is prospering as the core area next to Asahikawa in the Kamikawa jurisdiction. The Nayoro area has a climate peculiar to the basin, which has the largest “temperature difference” in Hokkaido, and the temperature difference between summer and winter is actually about 60 degrees (maximum 39.3 degrees to minimum minus 38.5 degrees). And, in a climate where the temperature difference between day and night is large regardless of the season, this temperature difference increases the sugar content of crops and suppresses the outbreak of pests, so it is suitable for safe and secure clean agriculture. Taking advantage of its climate in the Nayoro region, it is known as one of the leading producers of glutinous rice, which boasts the largest acreage in Japan, squash, asparagus, and sweet corn for fruits and vegetables. “Picnic corn” is a new variety developed in recent years, and is a highly rare sweet corn with a small cultivated area nationwide. It is a corn with a strong sweetness that has an average sugar content of 18 degrees, and it is delicious even when eaten raw, and because it has a lot of water, it can be enjoyed like a fruit. Developed by PIONEER ECOSCIENCE CO., LTD., It is an improved variety called “Mirai(It is a popular variety with a very strong sweetness and soft grain skin, which is also called miracle sweet corn. The sugar content is higher than other varieties, and the average sugar content is around 12 degrees. Even if you eat it raw, you can enjoy a strong sweetness, but if you heat it, you can enjoy it even more, and if you boil it, you can enjoy even more sweetness and juiciness. The arrangement of the grains is uniform, the fruit is well contained, and the grains tend to grow to the tip.)”, which has a yellow grain, and is characterized by its soft and crispy texture and strong sweetness. History of Seed Subsidiaries: August 1984 Pioneer Highbread Japan Co., Ltd. was established as a joint venture between Pioneer Overseas Corporation (USA) and Joy Brothers Co., Ltd. (Japan). From the perspective that the interests of agricultural producers must meet the needs of consumers, the Horticultural Seed Department has added value while always thinking about what the value of agricultural products will be for consumers in the future. It is said that they are simultaneously selecting attractive varieties for breeding, developing and disseminating cultivation techniques that are not based on common wisdom, and proposing food to consumers at the same time. Last but not least, it is said that pumpkin was introduced to Japan about 500 years ago, and it seems that its pronunciation was dull and became “pumpkin” because it was introduced from “Cambodia”. In the Nayoro area, several types such as “Ebisu”, “Ajihei Pumpkin” and “Ajiou Pumpkin” are cultivated. Nayoro's Ebisu pumpkin boasts one of the highest production volumes in Japan, and because of its trust, it is now sold all over the country. If you see it at the store, please come!

At the time of its release, it was often shunned because of its unprecedented dark green skin, but I heard that it had a better taste than conventional varieties, contained a lot of glutamic acid, which is an umami ingredient, and became very popular for simmered dishes. Even in the production area, it has high environmental adaptability, hypertrophic power, and high yield, and it has gained popularity for its high-profit, early-production cropping type, and it seems that it has spread nationwide regardless of the cropping type.

Nayoro Snow Quality Japan's No. 1 Festival is said to have started in 1952. It will be held for three days in mid-February and will attract about 20,000 tourists. The best snow quality in Japan is related to the cold climate of Nayoro, and the humidity is low in winter, and the temperature is 5 to 25 ° C below freezing. It seems that the city has the best snow quality in Japan in order to produce finer snow like silk than powder snow and to appeal the wonderful silky snow.
