The Takeuchi family's words or hearts permeate the desire to feel free to enjoy the unique flavor with a fresh and refreshing scent and a slight bitterness. Japanese Butterbur Simmered in Soy Sauce is also available in Makunouchi bento lunch box, etc. A familiar dish. Not limited to Japanese food, it seems that it is also recommended to make stir-fried food with meat and marinade with sour taste. With cultivation techniques, you can enjoy the taste of spring quickly and for a long period of time. I think that it is a real feeling as a consumer and a proof that we can eat and connect with a wide variety at the daily dining table. May Chita's Japanese butterbur be delivered to many people!

After harvesting, old strains are plowed in to make soil, and virus-free strains propagated by JA are planted as seed strains. When the seeds are refrigerated for about two months and then planted in the summer, the butterbur grows with the illusion that it has changed from winter to spring, and it seems that it can be harvested from controlled cultivation in autumn. After harvesting the autumn butterbur, the spring butterbur can be harvested from February by forcing cultivation that keeps it warm in a plastic greenhouse after exposing it to the cold and makes you feel early spring. It is said that it has achieved long-term shipment until May by combining controlled cultivation and forcing cultivation. Traditional vegetables, which herald the arrival of spring, are one of the few edible plants native to Japan that grow naturally throughout Japan and have been popular as wild plants. Boyfriends and girlfriends (male and female) are still loved.

【Major features】
JA Aichi Keizairen's efforts to optimize fruit and vegetable distribution are said to have begun in 2019 at the Ichichita Agricultural Cooperative. It seems to be a wide-area agricultural cooperative with 16,000 regular members, whose jurisdiction is 5 cities and 5 towns on the Chita Peninsula. The main fruits and vegetables are butterbur, onions, cabbage, eggplants, figs and mandarins, and it seems that many items are produced. In recent years, the production of fruits and vegetables has been gradually decreasing due to the aging of farmers, and the shipment of fruits and vegetables in 2019 was 10,859 tons, which seems to have decreased by 35% from 2010. This is also the background behind the need for optimization of fruit and vegetable distribution. There is a distance of nearly 40 km from the base of the Chita Peninsula to the tip, and before the merger, each former agricultural cooperative had a collection point, so it seems that it still has 16 collection points. One of the important issues in optimizing the distribution of fruits and vegetables was the review of the collection and shipping system, including the consolidation of collection points. Table As of the end of 2019, a total of 17 items were collected, 7 of which were collected at multiple collection points, and cabbage was collected at 5 collection points. Looking at each collection point, I heard that there are collection points such as Utsumi and Taketoyo that have only one item and a small quantity. Many trucks appear to be picking up multiple items from multiple pick-up points. It seems that there are many trucks that collect 8 items from 5 locations. However, looking at the load capacity of each truck, it seems that none of them have reached full capacity. In addition, it seems that there were some cases where the staying time at the collection point where multiple items were collected was as long as 2 hours. It seems that some trucks that go around many collection points spend more than five hours just to finish the collection. It seems that there were many issues to be solved in order to realize efficient truck operation. It seems that the transportation of fruits and vegetables was carried out by three transportation companies. It seems that these three companies were taken over by JA Aichi Chita, who had a contract with each of the former single cooperatives before the integration. Therefore, even now, the collection point in charge of each trader is decided based on the range of the former single cooperative, and it seems that the coordination and adjustment of luggage beyond that range is not done. I heard that if adjustments can be made between carriers, effects such as an improvement in the loading rate can be expected. In addition, among the fruits and vegetables shipped from JA Aichi Chita, there are those that are distributed independently and those that are distributed by JA Aichi Keizairen. It doesn't seem to be. It seems that it is thought that if unified measures and adjustments can be realized in this respect as well, it will lead to improved distribution efficiency. It seems that it is difficult to make an operation plan for a pickup truck that matches the actual shipment quantity because it is not possible to accurately grasp the shipment quantity in advance. Previously, it was not possible to fully grasp the planned shipping quantity in advance, but now it seems that each collection point reports the planned shipping quantity the day before and prepares a vehicle allocation plan based on it. However, at present, there are cases where there is a discrepancy between the planned shipping quantity and the actual shipping quantity. I hear that improving the accuracy of grasping the planned shipment quantity in advance is an indispensable issue in making an appropriate vehicle allocation plan. Furthermore, it seems that problems in cargo handling and transportation are also raised for each individual item. In the case of butterbur, the pick-up time seems to be limited because the producers bring what they bring to the pick-up area and load it directly onto the truck. For onions, it seems that extra loading personnel will be required if cardboard boxes and net items are mixedly loaded. In cucumbers, it is difficult to sort by class, items, and order. Furthermore, it seems that it is pointed out that it is not possible to grasp the shipping quantity in advance for items with a large shipping quantity, and that for items with a small shipping quantity, it is necessary to go to pick up for that purpose. In order to improve and improve the efficiency of vegetable distribution, it seems essential to understand the overall picture of the distribution system of the target item and the characteristics of production and distribution of the item behind it. Here, I would like to take up the main item, butterbur, and learn from each other. Of the 9300 tons of butterbur in Japan in 2019, 3630 tons, 39%, seems to be harvested in Aichi prefecture. It is a well-known fact that more than 80% of the butterbur sales of JA Aichi Keizai Ren belong to JA Aichi Chita, and it is the number one Japanese butterbur producing area in Japan. Most of JA Aichi Chita's fruits and vegetables are shipped to the Chukyo area, mainly in Aichi prefecture, but butterbur is the number one producer in Japan, and most of it is shipped to the Tokyo metropolitan area and Kinki area, and is shipped over a wide area. Seems to be. It seems that there are two types of cropping, one is seasonal extension and the other is forcible cultivation. It seems that the shipping time for seasonal cultivation is from October to January, and the shipping time for forcing cultivation is from February to May. The number of butterbur producers in 2019 was 61, a decrease of 46% compared to 2008. It seems that the cultivated area and the shipping quantity are decreasing as the number of producers decreases. The cultivated area in 2019 is 38.7 hectares, a decrease of 46% from 2008, and the shipment volume is 1734 tons, which is a decrease of 59% from 2008. The production of butterbur is labor-intensive, it is difficult to expand the scale of producers, and it seems that the decrease in the number of producers directly leads to the decrease in production. In particular, harvesting and shipping preparation are at the peak of labor, and reducing the labor burden on producers in shipping preparation work seems to be a major issue in maintaining wiping production. There are some sad points when I know the reality, but I would like to continue to introduce the representative products of Japan instead of the farmers who grow them with conviction. It is best to check with JA for details on the flow from harvesting butterbur to shipping preparation, collection, and shipping. It seems that the harvest will be done by about 10 o'clock in the morning. After that, it seems that the shipment will be prepared by taking it back to the producer's workplace. Shipment preparation work is a laborious task, and it seems that large producers are introducing an employment labor force. For shipping preparation, it seems that the stems are first trimmed and the same class is selected. After that, it will be wrapped in plastic wrap for each standard. Employment labor has been introduced in this wrapping work, but it requires skill, and it seems that it is becoming difficult to secure the personnel these days. Therefore, it seems that it is promoting the introduction of bagging (jet pack; Automatic bag opening machine. Or a machine that saves labor in bagging leafy vegetables) as a new packaging method that requires less labor and skill than wrap packaging. It seems that each producer will bring it to the collection point in the morning of the day after the harvest. It seems that the collection time is different for each collection point. The shipping trucks go around multiple collection points to collect the goods, and it seems that the collection time of the trucks at each collection point is adjusted. It seems that the collection time of the Tokai collection point, which has the largest number of butterbur, is 10:50 to 11:15, and the collection time of the “Okada” collection point, which has the second largest number of producers, is 11:30 to 12:00. Furthermore, it seems that the quantity of butterbur brought to the collection point is first checked and inspected by the person in charge of the agricultural cooperative. After inspection, it will be loaded onto the waiting truck. Producers seem to lay their own trucks loaded with butterbur on the designated trucks and transship them directly. It seems that such a loading work method is one of the problems in improving distribution efficiency. First of all, I heard that the truck must wait at the collection point and wait for the producer's truck during the set pickup time because it is loaded directly from the producer's truck. Since butterbur is loaded by producer, not by shipping standard, it is difficult to organize and load by shipping standard, it takes time and effort, and loading efficiency seems to drop. In addition, palletization(A method of loading cargo on a pallet, loading it into a transportation facility as it is, transporting it, and unloading it. A pallet is a “duckboard” -like platform used for the transportation, storage, and transshipment of cargo.)is an issue for improving the efficiency of cargo handling throughout logistics, but it is said that palletization at the collection point stage is difficult. It is desirable to switch to a method in which the butterbur that the producers bring in is once unloaded at the collection point, sorted according to shipping standards, and then loaded onto trucks, but the layout of the collection point has become compatible with palletization. I have heard that it is not easy to implement without redevelopment on the hardware side of the collection point. Some of the trucks that picked up butterbur at the Tokai pick-up point will go to the Okada pick-up point to pick up the butterbur. It seems that the number of butterbur that gathers at the Okada collection point is not large, but it seems that multiple trucks are collecting at Okada because the trucks are sorted by shipping area. It seems that the challenge is to establish a collection base, collect cargo from a collection site with only a small amount of cargo with a single truck, and transship at the collection base according to the shipping area. It seems that there are 29 issues that were taken up by JA Aichi Chita in 2019 at the advance collection point and by item. The contents seem to be summarized in the review of the collection and shipping system and the review and consolidation of sales destinations. Except for reviewing and consolidating sales destinations, it seems to be an issue related to collection from producers. The specific contents seem to be collecting the planned shipment quantity in advance, loading the truck directly into the pallet at the collection point, and adjusting the collection time between items. It seems that systematic efforts from production areas to consumption areas are necessary to improve the efficiency of vegetable distribution. It seems that they are starting with an easy-to-start task for stakeholders and carriers in the production area. Looking at the number of initiatives by initiative, the largest number was the review of the shipping system, with 12 items, followed by the review and consolidation of sales destinations, with 10 issues. On the other hand, it seems that there are only two items related to butterbur in the review of the shipping location. I heard that the items for reviewing the shipping system include grasping the planned shipping quantity in advance and consolidating the shipping days for items with a small shipping quantity. In reviewing and consolidating sales destinations, it seems that the shipping market is being consolidated and the freight system is set according to the shipping destination. In the efforts for fiscal 2019, there are some items for which specific countermeasures have been put into practice, such as reporting the planned shipment quantity of eggplants and cucumbers in advance, and consolidating the collection days of cabbage. It seems that many of them were in the process of being considered for conversion. It seems that there were many related parties such as producers and transporters who had to make adjustments even for items related to the collection and shipping system of the production area. Also, it seems that it is not easy to reach a solution that can reach a general consensus in a short period of time. Even if it is a short-term issue related to the agricultural cooperative level collection and shipping system, it seems that there are many issues that need to be tackled carefully in cooperation with the people involved in the field. JA Aichi Keizai Ren has achieved some results with regard to JA Aichi Chita's efforts in fiscal 2019, but considered that the areas of efforts and transporters were limited, and considered cooperation with the Chita area and Nishi-Mikawa area. Seems to be summarizing the need. On top of that, it seems that the two points of priority efforts in FY2020, transportation cooperation that relaxes the areas and items by existing transportation companies, and implementation of centralized vehicle allocation by collecting information are listed. We have set three goals within the fiscal year: establishing a method that can centrally aggregate shipping information, establishing a collaborative system that relaxes the existing areas of the three jurisdiction transportation companies, creating a mechanism that enables collaborative transportation, and establishing rules. It seems that he was doing it. In vegetable distribution, the starting point is the producer, the ending point is the actual consumer or the consumer, and optimization from the starting point to the ending point is an issue. Even if efficiency can be achieved in one part of the logistics process, if it increases the burden on other parts, it is possible that the efficiency of logistics as a whole has not progressed. Moreover, even if the logistics as a whole are optimized, the effects may not be evenly distributed to all parties concerned, and it seems that there may be an imbalance in the distribution of benefits and burdens. If left unchecked, it seems difficult for the system to be widely accepted. I have always heard that optimizing logistics as a whole and adjusting and optimizing the benefits and burdens among the parties involved in logistics are also important issues in improving the efficiency of fruit and vegetable logistics. JA Aichi Keizairen's challenges in optimizing the distribution of fruits and vegetables seem to be wide-ranging, such as proper vehicle allocation based on advance shipping plans, consolidation of collection points, and establishment and utilization of regional distribution bases. Consistent palletization, joint transportation, modal shift, etc. come to mind first in efforts to improve the efficiency of vegetable distribution, but it is known that there are various other issues as well. In addition, in the distribution of fruits and vegetables, the number of producers, which is the starting point, is large, and many of them are small-scale, which is a major feature, which seems to be a factor that makes efficiency improvement difficult. We have heard from everyone that making the flow of goods and information from producers lead to the subsequent improvement of distribution efficiency is the first issue for improving distribution efficiency. For that purpose, the understanding and cooperation of producers are indispensable. At present, the aging and declining number of producers is advancing, and it is certain that producers are also in a difficult situation. Especially in vegetable production, it seems that there are many items in which harvesting and shipping preparation form a large labor peak. In order to improve the efficiency of vegetable distribution, it seems that it is important to reduce the burden of shipping preparation for producers in order to gain their understanding and cooperation. In the past, in order to improve the efficiency of vegetable distribution, it seems that issues and countermeasures were often considered with a large-scale single-item production area in a remote area in mind. Improving distribution efficiency is an unavoidable issue not only in remote production areas but also in intermediate and suburban production areas, but it seems that the issues faced and countermeasures differ depending on the actual conditions of the production areas. Even in Aichi Prefecture, there is a big difference between the nationwide production areas of cabbage and broccoli in the Higashi Mikawa area and JA Aichi Chita, and I hear that it is difficult to improve distribution efficiency with uniform measures. Furthermore, I would like to move on. JA Aichi Chita (Agris) has established the “Agricultural and Livestock Product Safety and Security Measures Headquarters” to respond to consumers' preference for safety and security for agricultural and livestock products. Carry out daily work. It seems that they are working together with the producers on safety. It seems that it has created cultivation standards for agricultural and livestock products sold through JA and agricultural and livestock products handled at JA direct sales offices, and requires all producers to keep a production diary. It is said that the person in charge is instructing and inspecting the sowing time, the type of pesticide, the time and frequency of spraying, the establishment of traceability (tracking of production history), and so on. In addition, for agricultural products, we are also working to supply safe agricultural and livestock products by planning, practicing, inspecting, and reviewing agricultural work, and to introduce agricultural production process management (GAP) methods that lead to cost reduction and quality improvement. It seems that he is pouring. JA Aichi Chita Food Safety Analysis Center is conducting self-inspection mainly by immunoassay (simple analysis), strengthening cooperation with Keizairen ASC, and conducting pesticide residue inspection quickly and surely. This test mainly targets more than 50 types of co-selected co-sold items such as butterbur, onions, cabbage, figs, and oranges shipped to the market, and agricultural products sold at JA's direct production stores, and about 500 samples are tested annually. It seems that it has been done. The inspection method seems to be to randomly take samples from the field just before harvesting for each item and inspect for residual pesticides. In the unlikely event that an analysis value that exceeds the standard is obtained, it is said that the cultivation history of the relevant agricultural product will be confirmed, shipping and distribution will be stopped, and recovery measures will be taken. Furthermore, it seems that the cause will be investigated and investigated including the related producers. I heard that the results will be reported to the relevant organizations. JA Aichi Chita is also actively working on the specially cultivated agricultural product “Ikiiki Aichi” certified by JA Aichi Keizairen as an agricultural product that reduces pesticides and chemical fertilizers (nitrogen components) subject to reduction by 50% or more from the local conventional cultivation standards. It seems that it is. I've heard that cabbage, leaf lettuce, cucumber, mandarin orange, and kiwifruit are currently certified. In addition, it is said that it supports eco-friendly agriculture by collecting used horticultural vinyl and pesticides that are no longer needed by changing the production crops and properly treating them through specialists. Now, I would like to introduce the area where the producer lives, though it is simple. Located in the northwestern part of the Chita Peninsula. It faces Ise Bay in the west and has a coastline of about 15 km, bordering Tokai City in the north, Higashiura Town and Agui Town in the east, and Tokoname City in the south. The terrain is flat on average, but it seems to be a hilly area from 30 m to 65 m from the central to the eastern part of the city. The climate is mild throughout the four seasons, and the coastal industrial areas and residential areas are separated by blessed greenery. It seems that the land is easy to live in. The city was born in 1970. There are coastal industrial areas such as power plants and refineries along the coast, and inland areas such as Pekoros and butterbur seem to have developed as a thriving agricultural city.  In addition, it seems that there are many tourist assets such as the plum grove of Souri Pond and Shinmaiko Marine Park at the beach, and many cultural assets such as the oldest Okada post office in the prefecture. There are coastal industrial areas such as power plants and refineries along the coast, and inland areas such as Allium cepa “pekorosu”
and Japanese butterbur seem to have developed as a thriving agricultural city. In addition, it is famous as a town with many tourist assets such as the plum grove of Sori Pond and Shinmaiko Marine Park at the beach, and cultural assets such as the prefecture's oldest Okada Post Office. I heard that people began to live in the city area in the forked area of ​​Shinchi, about 8,000 years ago, in the early Jomon period. It seems that Morinishi shell mound, Ogusa north shell mound, and Ogusa south shell mound are known as the ruins following the bifurcated shell mound. In the Yayoi period, farming rice cultivation began in addition to primitive collection, fishing, and hunting, and it seems that the pottery has changed to a neat shape. From the middle of the Kofun period, salt production became popular in various parts of the coast, and it seems that it was eventually sent to the capital of Nara as a tribute. An old roof tile from the Hakuho period was discovered at Hokaiji Temple in Hachiman, and it seems that it now conveys the remnants of an ancient temple. In addition, the city area is part of Japan's largest group of Chita ancient kilns that prospered from the end of the Heian period to the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, and many ancient kilns are said to be distributed. In the Edo period, the heights of 16 villages were set, and it seems that life has become stable due to the construction of reservoirs and the development of newly reclaimed rice fields. However, the area of ​​cultivated land did not increase compared to the increase in population, and it seems that people went to work with skills they learned such as making black hoe and roof tiles, blacksmithing, and manzai. In the latter half of the Edo period, people's demands for education increased, and it seems that a private elementary school was held in every village. The village seems to have begun to change with the civilization and enlightenment of the Meiji era. In particular, Okada Village, which has been steadily developing as a production area for Chita cotton, seems to have adopted the first town system in the Chita city area in 1903. Even in the Taisho and Showa eras, agriculture, fishing, and textile industries were the main industries, but I heard that the form of the town has changed significantly due to the reclamation of the coastal area that began in October 1962 and the accompanying expansion of companies. The city system was enforced in September 1970, and as the surrounding cities of Nagoya City, which is now the center of the central region, thermal power generation, oil refining, and city gas supply to the south 3 wards and south 4 wards of the southern coastal industrial area of ​​Nagoya. , Shipbuilding, grocery, and feed manufacturing companies are said to be operating. JA Aichi Chita held the “2021 5th Jumbo Pumpkin Contest”, and Mr. Toshinobu Takeuchi (Mr. Takenori's father) from Chita City won the championship at 75.0 kg. He seems to have won the championship for the second time in a row following last year's 4th tournament. It seems that 89 people participated in the contest. The top three contestants were given a certificate and a trophy with a pumpkin decoration, and the top ten were given oranges and Chita beef curry as supplementary prizes. The contest seems to aim to help people understand the importance of agriculture and food on the Chita Peninsula through the cultivation of jumbo pumpkins. By setting up a place to display the pumpkins that have been applied for, it is said that it will help to interact with local residents, support agriculture on the Chita Peninsula, and revitalize the region. The jumbo pumpkins that entered the contest were on display at JA Aguri Town Genki no Sato Fureai Square until September 12. I think there are many people who are interested, so I would like to mention the details of last year. On September 19, 2020, it seems that the award ceremony for the general “jumbo pumpkin” contest was held at JA Aguri Town Genki no Sato in Obu City. Mr. Toshinobu Takeuchi of Chita City won the contest with 77.5 km. JA Aichi Chita seems to have been holding a jumbo pumpkin contest for elementary schools in the jurisdiction for four years as part of its food and agriculture education activities. Since last year, a new “general section” for union members has been added, and a two-part contest has been held. 73 people participated in the general section. It seems that the top three players in the contest were given a certificate, a trophy with a pumpkin decoration, and agricultural products such as oranges and pears as a supplementary prize. In the elementary school section, 12 elementary schools in the jurisdiction participate. Ogawa Elementary School in Higashiura Town won the championship at 48.7 km. It was around August 2014, but it seems that the flowers of Agave americana bloomed from the end of July on the bank of the mandarin orange field. The flower stalk that stretches to about 7 m stands out even from a distance, and it seems that people on the road are looking up. This flower grows slowly, and it is said that it takes 30 to 50 years for the flower to bloom in Japan. It seems that the plant that bloomed this time was inherited from an acquaintance when Mr. Takeuchi was 10 years old and was planted in his garden and transplanted to the bank of the field where the land readjustment was completed about 15 years ago. Currently, the stock seems to be spreading in a corner of the bank. In 2012, the flower stalk grew from one plant and bloomed, but it seems that it collapsed before it bloomed. This year, it seems that the flower stalks, which began to grow around May, are supported by stanchions to prepare for flowering. It starts to bloom from the bottom and the flowers are likely to be visible until mid-August. Mr. Toshinobu said at the time, “It's a rare flower, so I want a lot of people to see it.” Let's move on. Japanese butterbur is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae family that is distributed nationwide from Hokkaido to Okinawa. One of the few vegetables native to Japan. It is said that it has been cultivated since the Heian period, and it is a famous story that butterbur is used for food and young shoots of butterbur are used for medicinal purposes. It is said that there are about 200 varieties including wild species, but about 70% of the varieties currently in circulation are “Wase Aichi Fuki”. This butterbur seems to have been discovered in the area of ​​Tokai City, Aichi Prefecture, during the Meiji era. It seems that it spread to the surrounding area in a short time after the local village headman succeeded in self-cultivation. In addition, the irrigation canals constructed in the 1955s seemed to have boosted their widespread use. Since then, the Chita Peninsula seems to have become a major producer of Wase Aichi butterbur. I hear that the shipment volume of JA Aichi Chita butterbur, which controls farmers on the Chita Peninsula, accounts for about 40% of the national share, and that Tokai City and Chita City are responsible for most of the production. Currently, it is mainly cultivated in greenhouses and can be harvested from autumn to spring. It seems that if you plant a root stock that has been frozen and stored during the summer around August, it will germinate because you mistakenly think that spring has come. I've heard that this will allow harvesting from around October. If the greenhouse is kept warm, it will not be affected by the cold of winter, so it will be possible to continue harvesting until spring. It seems that those harvested from October to January of the following year are distinguished from “autumn butterbur” and those harvested from February to May are distinguished from “spring butterbur”. Spring butterbur is fragrant and seems to be close to the seasonal taste of outdoor cultivation. Toshinobu Takeuchi, who has a 50-year career as a butterbur farmer, is also the chairman of the butterbur department of the Spring Vegetables Department of the Chita Horticulture Promotion Council, which is made up of producers from the Chita Peninsula. He set up 35 greenhouses and worked hard with his son Takenori to grow butterbur. In March, when shipments peak, it is said that the days of harvesting will continue. According to his father, he has been busy all year round since he was able to harvest spring and autumn butterbur. It seems that he also cultivated mandarin oranges and rice for several years after he took over the family business. However, the liberalization of agricultural imports has progressed since the 1970s, and he seems to have decided to do it with a single wipe. His son wraps his mowed butterbur in Zizania latifolia (rather than knitting straw) to ripen his role. Originally, it was used as a frost shield for butterbur, but now it is used as a cushioning material when it is no longer needed. The harvested butterbur is brought to the workshop attached to the house. Here, sorting is performed according to the size standard. Takenori will sort by the familiar hand, such as L size if it is 1,000 mm or more, 2L size if it is 1150 mm or more. It is said that they are trying to make the sorting and packing work after harvesting more efficient. The sorted butterbur is wrapped in wrap and packed in cardboard. The butterbur is easy to break, and if it gets scratched, it won't be for sale. Therefore, it seems that the whole process from harvesting to sorting and packing is done carefully by hand. It seems that more than 100 boxes of cardboard containing 4 kg of butterbur may be shipped a day. As mentioned above, even though it boasts such a large amount of butterbur, the overall decrease is due to changes in the Japanese diet. It seems that one of the factors is that the number of butterbur is decreasing on the dining table of ordinary households. Mr. Toshinobu said that the song of the Lunch box also appeared in the lyrics of the nursery rhyme. It seems that he answered with a laugh that it used to be such a familiar vegetable.

The effect of fuquinolide (flavor component) is to promote digestive juices, so it activates and improves gastrointestinal function. If you infuse the butterbur and drink it, it seems to have the effect of helping the respiratory system, such as calming the cough. Squeezed juice can also be expected to have a hemostatic effect. Furthermore, it is well known that it has an intestinal regulating effect.

“Wase Aichi” is fragrant, fresh and pale green, with fast leaf growth, thick stems, and eye-opening.
The Chita Peninsula is a peninsula that protrudes south from Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, in the central region of Japan. The Chita area consists of a peninsula protruding south from the south of Nagoya City and islands such as Shinojima and Himakajima. It is surrounded by Ise Bay and Mikawa Bay, and has a mild climate, with a normal temperature of around 15 degrees Celsius and normal rainfall. The amount is around 1,500 mm.

The Mr. Takenori family considers it important to keep the water drained while keeping it well drained. Straw is laid on the roots to retain water, and the house is opened and closed so that it does not get stuffy. Throughout the year, work such as soil preparation, staggered planting, vinyl covering and shading will continue according to the cropping type and climate. The planting work in the summer seems to be the most difficult, but by replanting the plants every year, it is said that high quality is stabilized and the outbreak of diseases is suppressed.

The contribution of Japanese immigrants to Brazil is, above all, agriculture. I heard that it was the Japanese who popularized potatoes (Batata: Rodrigo Pinheiro da Silva, a former soccer player from Curitiba, Parana, Brazil, who immediately remembered him), tomatoes, fruits, flowers, and poultry farming. There is. And it seems that the giant Japanese agricultural cooperative Cotia Industrial Association and the Nanbaku Agricultural Cooperative Central Association (Sur Brazil) were particularly powerful in supporting the development of Japanese agriculture. Both agricultural cooperatives reigned in the postwar Brazilian agricultural industry. It was established on December 29, 1929 as a Jukely union by 49 Japanese farmers in the Jukely district north of São Paulo. In August 1933, the name was changed to the Jukely Agricultural Producers Association following the enactment of the Brazilian Union Law. Although internal conflicts continued, it seems that when Genichiro Nakazawa became the managing director in February 1939, the development progressed steadily (until November 1973, excluding the war period, until December 1984, when he died from the same month. Chairman). After Brazil declared war on Japan, Japanese were banned from becoming union officers, but Nakazawa expanded the business volume as an assistant to the board of directors without hindering the operation of the union, and in 1946 the entire state of São Paulo. Has come to be the scope of activity. In 1954, it expanded not only to São Paulo but also to Parana and Minas, so it was renamed as Cooperativa Central Agrícola Sul-Brasil, “Sur Brazil Agricultural Cooperative Central Association”, etc.). Reorganized into a single cooperative and a central association in 1969 to comply with the “New Union Law”. In the 1970s, it continued to develop, such as developing the Cerrado and expanding into Tohoku, and it seems that it became a huge agricultural cooperative along with the Kotia Industrial Association Central Association. However, I heard that it was disbanded on March 30, 1994 due to a slump in business due to an increase in debt due to the turmoil in the Brazilian economy in the latter half of 1980. In addition, agricultural cooperatives were born one after another in the Japanese community from the latter half of the 1920s to the 1930s, when the Consulate-General of Japan in Sao Paulo gave a subsidy to encourage the establishment of the Japanese industrial union as a model. I heard that.

Since Fagopyrum vulgare became widespread during the Genroku (October 23, 1688 to April 15, 1704) era, spicy radish as a condition was actively cultivated, and dried daikon radish and dried leaves were added to rice during the Edo period. It seems that breeding has also progressed. Nowadays, all-purpose radish such as dried daikon strips, pickles, and simmered dishes have become a representative vegetable indispensable to Japanese life. The Nakate Miura system (Miura Daikon) was completed on the Miura Peninsula in 1923. The Miura District Agricultural Association was established in 1902, and it seems that improvement activities have become active. Under these circumstances, the local “Koenbo (Hasse Town)” and “Nerima (Tokyo)” were crossed, and “Nakate Miura” was completed and became “Miura Daikon”. It seems that breeding is continuing.

【Major features】
Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, is famous as one of the leading outdoor vegetable producing areas in Japan, where radishes, cabbage, and squid are cultivated, taking advantage of the warm climate with an average annual temperature of 15.5 degrees Celsius and annual sunshine hours of 2100 hours. The Miura Agricultural Cooperative aims to establish distinctive agriculture that responds to competition between production areas and diversifying consumer needs through the development of new varieties, the introduction of production technology with less environmental impact, and the development of processed agricultural products. Seems to be. For example, Miura radish is famous for daikon radish, but we are working to expand the production of “lady salad”, which has been developed as a variety, in order to make a new daikon radish for small and tastier salads. Its characteristic is a beautiful red color with a pink tinge on the outside and pure white on the inside. You can eat the whole skin, and it seems that the size is 300-350 g per bottle. In addition, it seems that “Radish distilled spirits” using Miura radish as a processed product are also on sale. Since 1977, breeding has started with the aim of “expanding radish consumption” and “miniaturizing and better taste”, and “Lady Salad” was born, which was developed exclusively for salads (by application). This product was cultivated by crossing Miura radish with American and German radishes. By eating the whole skin, you can get more anthocyanins than white radish. It seems that about 140,000 cases have been shipped from mid-October to the end of March. In developing radish varieties for different purposes, in addition to lady salads, they are also developing “kozakura radishes,” “awazakura radishes,” and “new lady salads.” Within the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Cooperative, radish (about 786 ha: shipment is lady of pleasure Miura radish at the end of December, Japanese white winter radish from early November to February, spring radish from late February to early April), cabbage (Approximately 740 ha: Early spring cabbage Late November to mid-March, Spring cabbage March to late May), Summer watermelon (Approximately 386 ha: July to August), Pumpkin (Approximately 126 ha: June to August), Melon It seems that farming centered on open-field vegetables such as (55 ha: late June to July) is being carried out. Of these, winter-spring radish and early spring / spring cabbage are designated production areas of the country, and watermelon is a designated production area of ​​the prefecture. Recently, Wax gourd, Bitter ground fruit, summer welsh onion, tomatoes, etc. are also cultivated, and it seems that mandarin orange picking and strawberry picking are also carried out. According to the 2005 Agriculture and Forestry Census, the area of ​​cultivated land is about 1190 ha (of which about 1170 ha is ordinary fields), and of the 11.1 billion yen in agricultural output in the same year, radish is 48.5%, cabbage is 26.2%, watermelon is 12.4%, and pumpkin is It seems that 3.6% and melons accounted for 1.8%. Aiming for natural taste and healthy vegetables, in terms of sales, it is said that it is further focusing on special products in cooperation with Yokosuka Hayama Agricultural Cooperative. The Miura City Agricultural Cooperative Shipping Association is organized in 3 locations at the Misaki Branch, 9 at the Hasse Branch, 3 at the Kamimiyada Branch, and 3 at the Matsuwa Branch. Seems to hold. Of these, the spring cabbage shipping group “Matsuwa” formed a spring cabbage shipping group of 68 farmers in the Matsuwa area in 2002, and in collaboration with “Miura D.S.W Co., Ltd.”, deep sea water off Miura. Cultivated spring cabbage (irrigated during the seedling raising period and transplanting period, and sprayed on the foliage once or twice after planting in the field), and shipped with the indication “Use deep sea water off Miura” on the shipping box. It seems that it is. As an aside, Matsuwa mackerel is the brand name of chub mackerel landed at the Matsuwa, Minamishitaura Town, fishing port in Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. I heard that it got its name because it was landed at the Matsuwa fishing port. Start fishing at dawn. It seems that a single fish can be put into an ice-covered fish tank without touching it. It seems to be famous as a luxury mackerel brand that grows in the Bungo Channel and is named alongside Seki Saba, which is landed in Saganoseki, Oita Prefecture. It is said that July and after is the season when it is delicious with fat, but the catch is small and it is prized, and it seems that market officials call it “golden mackerel”. If it is sold at a fish store, it will be nearly 10 times the price of a regular Scomber japonicus. The Matsuwa mackerel season is from August to the end of December. Why don't you try it when you visit here? Now, let's move on and briefly explain the traditions and cultural properties of Miura City.

Nationally registered tangible cultural property : Former Hasegawa family house owner / stone warehouse / Garden gate and inner wall: Registered tangible cultural property, Mito, Hasse Town, December 5, 1st year of Reiwa. The genealogy of the rise and fall of the Miura Clan, which dates back to the feudal era of the Middle Ages, is nothing but the history of Miura's prosperity and rise and fall for about 450 years. The story of the clan's activities and sorrows, including Genji, Hojo, and Ashikaga, during the heyday of the Kamakura Period and the destruction of the Muromachi Period, is an honor of Military Family. The fierce battle with Soun Hojo-Ko at Arai; Misaki Castle, the Aburatsubo that became the end of the Miura clan, lasted for three years. Yoshiatsu; 道寸 Miura-Ko, Mr. Arajiro's parent and child's bravery, and the tragic story that most of the road dimensions and officers decayed into Aburatsubo Bay at the time of the fall of the castle are still in the appearance of a quiet cove. I'm keeping it. Ancient, Jomon, Yayoi, and Kofun period ruins are widely distributed in the city. In the early Kamakura period, the Miura clan, including Yoshimori WADA-Ko, was active. Also, during this period, three palace of cherry blossoms, camellia, and peaches were opened in Misaki, and many important people including Minamoto no Yoritomo-Ko visited. A banquet is held by planting cherry trees on Jogashima and Hozoyama in Misaki. During the Edo period, it was a busy port town and was gradually developed as a fishing port, which laid the foundation for the formation of a city as a pelagic fishing base in recent years. In 1590, when Mr. Gohojo was destroyed by Hideyoshi-Ko's attack on Odawara Castle, Ieyasu-Ko left the Tokai region in response to Hideyoshi-Ko's intention, and the former territory of Gohojo, the six Kanto countries Kozuke,. It is reported that the territory was changed to Kazusa, Shimosa, Sagami, Musashi, Izu and entered Edo Castle. Ieyasu-Ko placed the Hatamoto in a place that can be reached overnight from Edo, and in the distance, mainly selected the meritorious people of the Tokai era as daimyo and placed them on the Tokaido line. Miura District; The Miura Peninsula is under the direct control of all but some of the flagship territories, and Nagatsuna Hasegawa-Ko was invited by Suruga as the deputy head of the government, and a camp was set up on the shores of Uraga Bay. In 1594, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's nationwide land survey was conducted all over the country, and Kokudaka of rice was seized in Miura District. His servant, Masafusa Moriya(Former Takeda retainer)-Ko, was involved in the inspection of Kikoba Village as a substitute for Nagatsuna-Ko, the deputy chief of each. It is believed that many of the indigenous people who have been indigenous to the area since ancient times have been incorporated into Ieyasu-Ko's Military and agricultural separation policy and have become village officials. On the other hand, the Shogunate placed four ship magistrates, Masatsuna Mukai-Ko, Kagetaka Ohama-Ko, Takanori Mamiya-Ko, and Magobei Chiga-Ko, in Misaki, the southern tip of the Miura Peninsula, as a restraint at the mouth of Edo Bay. Mr. Mukai(Mr. Imagawa, Mr. Takeda, Mr. Tokugawa)was given the position of magistrate of the ship, and his power was famous in the sea of ​​Sagami. In 1615, when the TOYOTOMI army was settled by the Siege of Osaka, the three were assigned to Edo, leaving only Mr. Mukai, who left the footsteps of the clan on the Miura Peninsula for a long time. “Misaki, Hashirimizu Guardhouse” : The Shogunate established various checkpoints to maintain security, and set up a maritime security action at Misaki and Hashirimizu as a maritime security at the mouth of Edo Bay. It is said that ascending ships were monitored in Misaki and descending ships were monitored in Hashirimizu. Direct retainer of a shogun acts as a magistrate at both bansho, and concentricity is in charge of the practice. The magistrate of Miura and Hashirimizu Bansho not only takes charge of all the work related to the sea, but also the deputy head of Miura District, Nagatsuna Hasegawa-Ko and Nagashige-Ko (nephew of Nagatsuna) died between 1596 and 1614. The camp is abolished. It is reported that in 1648, both magistrates also served as deputy officials except for a part of Miura District, and oversaw the village administration by paying the annual tribute rice under the direct control of the shogunate. As for the change of lords, the lords who rule here have changed with the times since Ieyasu-Ko entered the Kanto region. In 1590, Hideyoshi-Ko unification of the whole country and Miura District became under the direct control of Mr. TOKUGAWA. Land inspection is conducted in Nobi Village and Sugaruya Village in 1591. In 1600, the De Liefde was washed ashore in Bungo, and Mr. William Adams was sent to Uraga. Hemi Village to Mr. Anjin Miura (Mr. Williams Adams) from 1600 to 1614. After the fall of Osaka Castle (the destruction of Toyotomi) in 1615, Mr. Mamiya and others Misaki were withdrawn to Edo, and Mr. Chiga and Mr. Ohama were also withdrawn to Edo. Reconstruction of Shinbuji Yakushido in Numama Village in 1622. 1632 Tadakatsu Mukai-Ko, ordered to Hashirimizu number, Yoriki six horses, concentric thirty people are entrusted. In 1639, itabi-type Koshinto was built at Sogenji Temple in Kugyo Village (the oldest Koshinto in the city). 1641 Masakata Mukai-Ko, Otsu, and Morisaki were given 1,000 koku and became a Hashirimizu ship magistrate. 1660, Shinzaemon Sunamura-Ko begins development of Uchikawa Shinden. 1665, Shinzaemon-Ko Build a monument on the Yawata River tide embankment. 1667 Sunamura-Ko completes 585 Ishiyo Uchikawa Shinden. 1674 Mukai Shogen Masakatsu-Ko died (Tadakatsu's sixth son), buried in Otsu Village Teisho-ji Temple A fish wholesaler in Edo Odawara, Honmoku Kanazawa Territory and Miura 17gaura argue for entry and exit. 1679 Uchikawa Shinden divided into two (later Zenroku group, Yobei group). 1683 Takeyama Fudoson moves from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain 1688 Higashiurawa's Subashiri (fry of mullet) fishing is subject to 13 tax; 貫: 1300両= 13000匁= 約48.75 kg. 1691 Uraga Tomyodo's expenses are charged to the dried eel wholesaler 1692 Uraga is divided into Higashi Uraga and Nishi Uraga. 1696 Misaki and Hashirimizu magistrates are abolished. 1703 Minami-Kantou, Tokai earthquake, tsunami wrecked Uraga, Higashi-Uraga's dried eel wholesaler was damaged, and the gate of Daimei-ji Temple in Kanaya village was destroyed. 1720 The Shimoda magistrate is abolished and a magistrate's office is set up in Uraga. First magistrate Hori Okinokami Toshio-Ko, Yoriki 10 people, Concentric 50 people 1721 Inspection of kaisen begins at Uraga guardhouse. 1739 Higashi-Uraga's dried eel wholesaler, unpaid due to past luck, pleaded with Uraga magistrate's office again. 1740 Boso Mikuni's dried eels have been declining to the top of the hierarchy that they should be landed in Higashiuraga. 1750 Matsudaira Yamato no kami Tomonori-Ko occupies 32 villages in Miura District. 1777 Shogoro Edoya asks Uraga to open a laundry shop (prostitute business). After that, on January 1, 1955, Misaki Town, Minamishitaura Town, and Hasse Village merged to form “Miura City”, which continues to this day. “Minamishitaura Town Agricultural Cooperative" will be added on April 1, 1969. “Japanese ⌈Aokubi (greenhead)radish」”, It is said that it was first cultivated as Miura radish since the Meiji era. Initially, the surrounding area was from the sea, and transportation was carried to Tokyo by ship, but at the end of the Taisho era, transportation was shifted to automobiles. Along with the advancement of cultivation techniques under the guidance of agricultural associations, voluntary unions were formed by producers. Mainly on sale in the Tokyo market. In the latter half of the Showa 30's(1950s), the number of farmers who own private and transport vehicles increased, and individual shipments increased. Agricultural cooperatives will strengthen joint shipping and sales, and in 1978, 3 million cases, more than half of which will be jointly shipped, will be reflected. Introduced in 1979 in light of consumption trends such as miniaturization, weight reduction, and sweet taste. Since it sells higher than “Miura radish”, it became mainstream in the latter half of the 1970s.)and agriculture centered on open-field vegetable cultivation in the suburbs of the Tokyo metropolitan area. 野菜生産出荷安定法,(Act on Stabilization of Production and Shipment of Vegetables), 昭和四十一年,法律第百三号,(Act No. 103 of 1966): We are striving for planned production and shipment such as vegetable price stabilization business. Radish grows lush even in winter and is shipped mainly from December to March. It is said that the shipping time is decided by dividing into the conventional Miura radish (White), Winter radish and Spring radish, and the cultivation method is decided for each variety. Producers strives for proper use of chemical fertilizers, healthy soil preparation, and soil conservation. Competitive plant, green manure crop planting, manure building installation. There is no dedication to ensuring a stable organic fertilizer. There are seventeen collection and shipping areas in the jurisdiction, and Producers bring in individually selected radishes. The staff in charge inspects and receives the goods, and the union decides the shipping quantity by market and transports it to the market. For vegetables in Miura, the producers are thoroughly booked in the control management diary. We cultivate open-air cultivation that makes full use of the warm nature of the Miura Peninsula to provide delicious radishes. Require an extraordinary effort and involvement. The boughs that bear most hang lowest. I think so too. The better the person, the more humble. Typical industry: Fisheries centered on the Misaki fishing port(Specified Type 3 Fishing Port; Designated on March 21, 1960. Act on Development of Fishing Ports and Grounds, Act No. 137 of 1950(漁業漁場整備法, 昭和二十五年, 五月二日, 法律第百三十七号,漁業法, 昭和二十四年, 法律第二百六十七号)): The term “Japanese port” as used in this Act shall mean those ports and harbors for which port and harbor area was publicly noticed, pursuant to the provision of paragraph 1, Article 9 of Ports and Harbors Act (Act No. 218 of 1950) including the cases where it is applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to paragraph 2, Article 33 of the said Act, and fishing ports as provided in Article 2 of Act on Development of Fishing Ports and Grounds (Act No. 137 of 1950). In the Taisho era, a tuna longline fishing boat equipped with a diesel engine appeared, and it seems that the motorization and size of the fishing boat progressed rapidly. Kaneda Bay morning market: Direct sales of fishermen, farmers, and producers Seasonal ingredients and specialty products are crowded and crowded. Anniversary, every Sunday 5: 50-7: 30 May-September: Every Saturday 12: 00-16: 00, Ends as soon as sold out. December 29th (Sat) and 30th (Sun) at the end of the year, big sale at the end of the year (held from 5:50 as soon as there are no more products. Reopening date, from 5:30 am on Sunday, June 7, R2 (scheduled to be held every Sunday thereafter). A venerable place that has been held since 1987. Marine recreation, which shows a wide variety of areas, is also adding new attractions as a tourism product. Due to the influence of the Kuroshio Current, the winter is warm, with an average annual temperature of 15.5 degrees Celsius, annual rainfall of 1,500 mm, and annual sunshine hours of more than 2,100 hours, which belongs to the oceanic climate. The cultivated area is 1,791 hectares, of which more than 98% are fields (including orchards,2012). Agriculture centered on open-field vegetables that take advantage of the warm climate is active as a core industry. In particular, Japanese radish: Boasts the largest planted area, yield, and shipment volume in Japan,(Japanese radish with a greenish head)and cabbage(It is one of the best producing areas in Japan and produces autumn / winter cabbage and spring cabbage. It has the second oldest history after radish and is said to have started around 1890. In the olden days, winter cabbage was cultivated, which was flat and tightly headed. In the first half of the 1965's, the soft and sweet spring cabbage that has been cultivated until now was introduced in the winter cropping type. Raising seedlings on the ground is the mainstream. Compared to cell-molded seedlings, it takes time and effort to take measures against pests such as soil disinfection. However, since it does not require special facilities or materials, it can be manufactured at low cost. I heard that spring cabbage, which is planted in severe winter, which cannot be rooted by plug seedling, can also be raised. Since the optimum planting period is long, it is possible to plant plants even if the harvest of the previous crop is around due to typhoons or unseasonable weather.)are Famous as one of the largest production areas in Japan, and are famous as nationally designated production areas(1980). There are many vegetables and fruits, but recently, autumn and winter vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower are also produced. On October 1, 1965, “Hasse Town” and “Misaki Town” merged to form “Miura city Farmers' Cooperative.” Minamishitaura-machi Agricultural Cooperative will be added on April 1, 1969. “Spring cabbage” country designated production area ; Cultivation is the second oldest after Radish and is said to have started around 1892. Previous, the mainstream was the Toran(寒玉, 冬藍) Winter Cabbage, which was flat and tightly headed. The first half of the 1965's(Winter cropping) : Introduced the soft and sweet Spring cabbage that has been cultivated until now : Then, the cropping pattern with early spring was established.Spring cabbage is from 1965, ‘early spring cabbage’ is 1980. Seeds every year from late September to mid-October : Planted from late October to mid-February : It is expected to be harvested from early March to early May. It is characterized by being sweeter and softer than early spring cabbage. It is popular as a variety suitable for raw food such as salads. Cultivation at the right time for growth is essential for spring cabbage. The damage from pests is small, and the number of times the drug is sprayed is small. After spring cabbage, mid-early cabbage will also be shipped in mid-May. Root decay disease and damping-off are diseases that become a problem at the seedling raising stage. Drugs are commonly used to prevent this.Availability of solar heat as a resource conservation method with less burden on the environment-Part of the Miura Peninsula. In connection with that, we are working on a soil disinfection method. Soil solarization ; Apply fertilizer and maintain it so that it can be seeded. By covering the nursery with vinyl, the soil temperature rises. In addition, it can kill bacteria that are sensitive to high temperatures and control weeds. Cost reduction by using old vinyl used for cultivation of Melon and Watermelon. In addition, by covering, the surface of the soil can be kept moist. It becomes very good as a seed condition with summer wisdom. I hear that raising seedlings on the ground is the mainstream in production areas. Ground seedling raising ; Compared to cell-molded seedlings(plug seedling), measures against pests such as soil disinfection are required. This is a lot of work and effort. However, it does not require any special facilities or materials, so it seems that it can be made at low cost. Plug seedling- Spring cabbage that is planted in the cold season when it cannot survive can also be raised. In addition, the optimum period for planting tends to be long. Planting is possible even if the harvest of the previous crop is around due to typhoons and inclemency. In the area, three croppings in two years rotation cropping are performed. And the turnover rate of the field is very high. In order to speed up shipping, “Intercession” in part. It's a task that must maintain the system. For intercropping, the ridges of radish or cabbage are set wider than usual. Planted between ridges before harvesting the previous crop ; Spring Cabbage. The previous radish is harvested from December to January. The planting time is around mid-November before that : Before the previous radish is harvested, it is intercropped in the furrows. There is also an example of planting spring cabbage as an intercropping of early spring cabbage. Harvest ; The stock is sufficiently headed and pushed from above to harden, and this is done in sequence. It is divided into about 3 times to wait for it to grow to large(L)size. Pack the stock in a 10 kg cardboard box(8 pieces L size center)and go to the collection and shipping area. Everyone cooperated(Agricultural cooperative / Municipal / prefectural related organizations)in 2008 to promote and practice GAP(Good Agricultural Practices)- Formed a promotion subcommittee. Workshops have been held since the fall of 2009. Distribute check sheets to each producer. Raised mainly using organic fertilizer ; Surrounded by the sea, it is exposed to plenty of sunlight and is soft even in winter. Approximately 3.1 million cases (Approximately 3,500 large trucks) have been shipped. The union sells sweet, fluffy and soft spring cabbage on an online shopping site. The freshness is the best because it is harvested in the morning and shipped that day. By all means, everyone should try it. It was cultivated from the middle of the Meiji era, and increased rapidly from around 1957 due to the spread of grafting cultivation. The varieties are “Fujihikari TR” and “Matsuri Bayashi 11” for Otama Ball, and “Himekansen” and “Madderball” for Small Ball Watermelon. Wax gourd and Lagenaria siceraria var. hispida are mainly used as rootstocks, and planting is from early April to early May, and there are two cultivation methods: tunnel pruning and non-pruning “Okkabuse cultivation”; Cultivation method that simplifies ventilation work by cultivating in a vinyl tunnel with ventilation holes. In addition, in order to improve the quality, there seems to be some prior cultivation in which a tunnel is made at the tip of the vine during the fruit set period. The harvest period is from late June to mid-August, and the yield is about 5,000 kg per 10 a. Watermelons on the Miura Peninsula have a crispy texture and a unique juiciness, and are highly evaluated by the market and consumers. “Small ball watermelon from Miura city”, The flesh is as crisp as a large watermelon, and the skin is dark green with thick stripes and clear. The pericarp is thin and about 3 mm, but it has sufficient hardness and tends not to crack in a few things. It is known as a variety with significantly less fruit cracking during transportation and physiological fruit cracking during growth. Little is in season in summer, and the quality of the second fruit is the same as that of the first fruit. It has a sugar content of 13 degrees or more and a strong crispness, and has the best taste. The varieties are mainly grown in greenhouses and large tunnels, but they are also suitable for harvesting in August for outdoor cultivation and October to December for controlled cultivation. It has few seeds and is easy to eat, it is sweet to the edge of the skin, and it is kind to nature because the skin is thin and there is little kitchen waste.

Algorithm: For agricultural cooperatives, shipping distribution is one of the most troublesome tasks. It seems that it will grasp the amount of shipments shipped from farmers the next day, decide the shipment quantity for each delivery destination such as the market, and decide how to load the packages on which shipping company's truck. This work is basically done manually. In the case of Miura Agricultural Cooperative, the farmer first informs each shipping station of the next day's shipping schedule, and each shipping station contacts the agricultural cooperative. The agricultural cooperative entered the quantity received from all shipping offices into Excel, decided the quantity to be shipped to about 50 markets from Hokkaido to Osaka, and made a vehicle allocation schedule based on that. With the advancement of IT in agriculture, a system has emerged that significantly shortens the time required to create delivery schedules for shipments, which is one of the most difficult tasks of agricultural cooperatives. It takes only one second to do the work that took eight hours a day. It will be introduced by Miura City Agricultural Cooperative Association (hereinafter Miura City Agricultural Cooperative) and Cybozu Inc(Developed in collaboration with Cybozu Lab Co., Ltd. (Location: Chuo Ward, Tokyo, President: Teppei Sato, hereinafter Cybozu Lab).  Temporarily implemented from April.)in Kanagawa Prefecture. It seems that it will be possible to schedule vehicle allocations faster and more efficiently than humans can calculate using a unique algorithm. I've heard that the part that takes the longest time is the part that schedules vehicle allocation. At the agricultural cooperative, it seems that the work of determining the shipment quantity for each market after grasping the shipment quantity of the farmer is completed in about 2 hours, but it seems that it takes about 8 hours for mid-career staff to make a schedule for dispatching the vehicle after that. Even a veteran takes 5 to 6 hours, which is a heavy burden, so I heard that this part was systematized in the winter of 2018 in cooperation with Cybozu.

Impression that it contains a lot of water. It is recommended for those who are on a diet because it is low in calories and has a satisfying taste. Contains a large amount of anthocyanins in the skin. Since the leaves contain a lot of vitamin C, potassium, calcium, β-carotene, etc., it is more effective to eat the leaves together with the roots. 

In 2013, he applied for the “Project to Expand Japanese Food” sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and was certified as a “model area” by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. While pursuing the future vision of Miura City's agriculture, fishery and tourism industries, we are developing various initiatives.

Breeding for the purpose of expanding radish consumption and “miniaturizing and better taste” is further developing

The Honai region is the production center of Gobioidei, and there are many millionaires who are blessed with mineral resources and are interested in the breeding business. It seems that it was. This sailing ship carried rice from Nagasaki and Miyazaki to Osaka and traded local specialties, so it can be said to be the source of voyage and commercial development. There were many outpatient stimuli, and it seems that the locals also showed an enterprising spirit. Uwa Spinning Company was established in Kawanoishi in 1887 as the first spinning industry in the Shikoku region. At first, it was a small factory with a spinning machine with a weight of over 2,000, but after that, it developed into a factory with a weight of over 10,000. Its establishment seems to have left a great achievement in laying the foundation for the development of commerce and industry in Honai Town. The reason for the establishment of the company was that Mr. Masataka Hyodo, who played a central role, was asked by Sadaoki Yano, who was born in Kawanoishi, about the pattern of foreign yarn imports and the promising spinning industry, and was recommended to establish the company. It seems that it was said.

Yawatahama City, Ehime Prefecture is located at the base of the Sadamisaki Peninsula at the western end of Ehime Prefecture, facing Kyushu across the Bungo Channel (Uwa Sea), and is a port town boasting one of the highest landings in Shikoku. Warm climate and terraced field (A field created in a staircase on a slope such as a hillside. It seems to be found in a densely populated area on a flat land. In the case of paddy fields, it is called a terraced rice field.) Setouchi Citrus cultivation that makes the best use of the coastal topography of the sea is flourishing, including branded oranges known throughout the country such as “Hinomaru”, “Maana”, “Kawakami”, “Mitsuru”, and in recent years “Beni Madonna” “Setoka”, “Kanpei”, etc. It is known as the number one citrus kingdom in Japan for citrus production. No, it is a world-famous production area.

【Product name】
Japanese Fuji persimmon
【Type】
Diospyros kaki Thunb.
【Production area】
Yawatahama City, Ehime Prefecture
【Origin of the name】
Cultivation began in 1928, the year of the enthronement of the Emperor Showa, and it is said that the persimmon was named after the shape of Mt. Fuji, which is characterized by its divine red color and sweetness.
【Major features】
Japan's proud Mt. Fuji was designated as a World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO in June 2013. The name of Mt. Fuji seems to have been expressed in various ways since ancient times. The most common is “Fujiyama”. It seems to mean the one and only high peak that cannot be compared with others. It seems that it means that there is no end of snow on the top of the mountain all year round, but it seems that there is no snow on Mt. Fuji in the summer. It seems that he may have expressed that he never runs out of size. It is famous for the song “Tagonoura Yu, if you look at it out of the house, it's pure white, and the snow falls on the inexhaustible Takamine” by Yamanobe no Akahito in the Manyoshu. Manyo Song Monument in Fujinokuni Tagonoura Minato Park: A song that overlooks Mt. Fuji, carved into eight stone pillars of Matsuno stone (commonly known as “bale stone”) from Minami Matsuno, Fuji City, and arranged in the shape of Mt. Fuji. The inscription seems to be from the Jingu Bunko Hon Manyoshu (Jingu Bunko collection), which is believed to be a copy of 1546. It seems that the cultural value of the inscription is enhanced by engraving the manuscript Man'yogana as it is. It seems that this monument was erected in 1983 at Tagonoura Harbor Fuji Pier (former ferry terminal) after the place name “Tagonoura”. In 2012, it was relocated to the “Fujinokuni Tagonoura Minato Park” that was maintained by Shizuoka Prefecture at that time, and is now popular with visitors to the park. In addition to this, it seems that the characters “Fushi” and “Fuji” are used in the Manyoshu, but since Man'yogana is a kind of Ateji, it seems that it was only called “Fuji”. “Mt. Fuji” seems to come from the legend of immortality, like the story of Taketori(Princess from the Moon, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter: The story of the Heian period. One volume. “Genji Story” has “Princess Kaguya Legend” (area overgrown with weeds) and “Taketori's old man” (picture-matching (with card games,etc.)), and is titled “Taketori Old Man Story”. There seems to be a manuscript. The date of establishment and the author are unknown, but it is believed that it was created by male intellectuals between Jogan (859-877) and Engi (901-923) in the first half of the 10th century.). Some people say that the name "Fukujuyama" has become dull, and that the name comes from ”Fujiyama”, but both seem to be letters. Today's writing of “Mt. Fuji” means a mountain rich in samurai, and is thought to be from the Kamakura period when Bushido developed. Regarding the origin of the name, there seems to be a theory that it came from the Ainu word “funchi” (god of fire = volcano) and the Malay word “fuji” (wonderful). It is believed that Mt. Fuji is called “Fuyo; Nelumbo nucifera” because of the shape of the summit crater. The current shape of Mt. Fuji is formed by three generations of volcanic activity: Mt. Ashitaka / Koomitake volcano, Old fuji volcano, and Shinfuji volcano. It seems that Koomitake volcano stopped its activity more than 100,000 years ago. Old fuji Volcano is the volcano that became the foundation of Mt. Fuji today, and is said to have been active from about 100,000 to 10,000 years ago. The activity of New Fuji volcano, which formed the current Mt. Fuji, is said to have started about 10,000 years ago, and it is believed that more than 100 eruptions were repeated during the 10,000 years leading up to the 1707 Hoei eruption. That's it. Around 10 am on December 16, 1707 (Sun history), Mt. Fuji erupted from the southeastern slope, and the eruption smoke rose to 20,000 m above the sky. Traces of this eruption still remain as the “Hoei crater”. The eruption continued intermittently for 16 days until dawn on December 31, and lapilli and ash were carried by the westerly wind and poured into northeastern Shizuoka prefecture, Kanagawa prefecture, Tokyo, and the Boso Peninsula more than 100 km away. It seems. In Subashiri Village (Oyama Town, Shizuoka Prefecture) at the eastern foot of Mt. Fuji, 37 houses were burned down by the hot volcanic rocks that fell, and the remaining 39 houses seemed to have collapsed due to the weight of volcanic ash exceeding 3 m and repeated volcanic earthquakes. In Minasegawa Village (Yamakita Town, Ashigarakami District, Kanagawa Prefecture), I heard that 12 out of 80 villages collapsed due to ash fall of 80 to 90 cm. A large amount of volcanic ash fell on the town of Edo (Tokyo), and it became dark even in the daytime, and it was said that candles had to be lit. It seems that the ash fall that accumulated 2 to 5 cm became fine dust with each strong wind and soared, and many people suffered from respiratory diseases and even suffered from sequelae. The death toll from the eruption has not been recorded, but it took years to remove the volcanic ash that had accumulated on the cultivated land even after the eruption. The river into which the volcanic ash flowed rises, causing frequent flooding, which seems to have afflicted farmers for a long time. The Hoei eruption is called a “Plinian eruption((Italian Vulcanian eruption) An eruption that is more violent than an eruption that feels like an explosion that blows sticky lava fragments far away, and erupts with a height of 10 km or more)”, and when magma is pushed up from an underground magma chamber, the pressure decreases and foams, and a huge amount of volcanic stones, volcanic ash, and volcanic gas are blown out. However, it seems that the magma did not leak. In the past, it seems that magma was leaked in the “Strombolian eruption(An eruption of less sticky basalt and andesite magma splashing from the crater every few seconds to tens of seconds)”. It has not been clarified what kind of pattern the next eruption of Mt. Fuji will be, but in the “Mt. Fuji Volcano Disaster Prevention Map” (hazard map) created in 2004, the area where the crater can occur, the range where lava flows, and the debris flow are shown. It seems that the range of occurrence has been specified. The scale is so large that there are records that a large amount of volcanic ash has accumulated in the town of Edo. The lateral volcano (elevation 2,693m) created at this time is called Mt. Hoei. Mt. Fuji is the standard Mt. Fuji seen from the Shizuoka side, and Mt. Hoei is located on the right shoulder. However, it seems that Mt. Hoei can be seen in front in Susono City, and on the left side in Gotenba City and Oyama Town. By the way, it seems that Mt. Hoei cannot be seen from the northern part of Fujinomiya City or the Yamanashi Prefecture side, which is just west or north of Mt. Fuji. The time when the activity of New-Fuji volcano started corresponds to the early Jomon period, and it seems that human beings lived around Mt. Fuji. The 1707 Hoei eruption is said to have been the last and largest eruption of recorded history. The country of origin of persimmon is China, which is endemic to Southeast Asia. It is reported that it was mainly native to the Yangtze River basin. It is said that the name of the persimmon was already mentioned in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, which are said to have been introduced to Japan around the Nara period and were written around this time. It was cultivated in the Heian period and was presented as a Dried persimmon. It has been cultivated in various parts of Japan since ancient times, and its name differs depending on the region, and it seems that it had a very rare influence on the climate and folk culture. In Ehime prefecture, it is said to be the birthplace of “Fujigaki persimmon” and “Hachiya, Minokamo city, Gifu prefecture”, and is called “Hachiyagaki persimmon”. “Fuji Persimmon” was found in 1927 at the farm of “Mr. Saburozaemon Benjo” in Yawatahama, Ehime Prefecture, and a large and fast-colored one was discovered in “Hachiyagaki Persimmon”, and this branch was grafted. I heard that it was propagated. It seems that the distribution of seedlings began the following year. It is a persimmon that has been cultivated since 1928, the year of the enthronement of the Emperor Showa, and is characterized by its divine red color and sweetness. Ehime Prefecture “Ehime / Nanyo Citrus Agricultural System” (Region: Uwajima City, “Yawatahama City”, Seiyo City, Ikata Town, Ainan Town) However, on February 15, 2019, it was certified as a Japanese agricultural heritage. This is a system in which the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries certifies areas (agriculture, forestry and fisheries systems) that operate important and traditional agriculture, forestry and fisheries in Japan. Although it is a certified standard, the agriculture, forestry and fisheries system to be applied for contributes to the food and livelihood security of the local community. Agricultural biodiversity applies The agricultural, forestry and fisheries system is rich in biodiversity and genetic resources that are globally important for food and agriculture. Local traditional knowledge system The local traditional knowledge system provides “regional valuable and traditional knowledge and customs”, “original adaptive technology” and “agricultural, forestry and fisheries industries such as biophasic, land and water”. Maintaining a “supporting natural resource management system”. Culture, values ​​and social organization The cultural identity and climate associated with the agricultural, forestry and fishery system to be applied for are firmly established and belong to the region. Characteristics of landscapes and seascapes, having landscapes and seascapes that have developed over the years through the interaction between humankind and the environment. Resilience to change, In Japan, where there are many natural disasters, many agriculture, forestry and fishery systems have endured natural disasters and responded to changes over the long history. Maintaining high resilience to disasters, etc. in order to preserve the agriculture, forestry and fishery system and pass it on to the next generation. Participation of various actors, participation of various actors as well as local residents in order to maintain and revitalize traditional agriculture, forestry and fisheries and related culture and ecosystem conservation systems in response to the decrease of bearers and social changes Inheriting the agriculture, forestry and fisheries system through a new system by. Promote the Sixth sector, utilize the historical value of the agriculture, forestry and fishery industry system, agriculture, forestry and fishery products, traditional culture, landscape, etc., and revitalize the region by promoting the branding of agricultural products and the promotion of tourism, etc. It is mentioned that the agriculture, forestry and fishery industry system is being preserved. Fuji persimmons are astringent at the time of harvest, are de-astringent processed with alcohol, and are shipped as regional brand persimmons. Compared to other varieties of persimmon, Fuji persimmon has few seeds and few fibers, so you can enjoy a mellow texture and elegant taste, so it is also popular as a gift. It's a method of removing astringency, but it's a good idea to stuff the persimmon calyx and calyx together in the tool. When packing, be careful not to scratch it. After stuffing, sprinkle shochu over the entire surface. Place a newspaper or a different straw on the surface and cover it to absorb the evaporated water. It is recommended to completely seal with adhesive tape. Place in a warm place for about 6 days. Spread the persimmons out in a straw mat and dry them. If the fruits are large or small, it is effective to pack the large ones on the bottom and the small ones on the top. It seems that you can use pharmacy alcohol instead of distilled spirits(Shochu). In this case, 150 cc of 30% alcohol is used per 10 kg of astringent persimmon. When the material is scarce, it seems that you can also use a plastic bag. Put shochu on the calyx of the persimmon, stuff it in a plastic bag, and seal it. Place this bag in a warm place in the sunlight or hang it. Atagogaki, Hagakuregaki, Yokonogaki, etc. are hard to come off, so put a plastic bag (0.1 mm) in the tool and pack the persimmons. Let's explain the origin of special products, though it is simple. ”Yawatahama City”, Ehime Prefecture”, It is located in the western part of the prefecture, at the base of the Cape Sadamisaki Peninsula, with a total area of ​​132.65 km2. The north faces the Seto Inland Sea, and the east is Ozu City. Adjacent to Seiyo City in the south and Ikata Town in the west. The southern half of the west side is for Kyushu across the Bungo Channel (Uwa sea). The coastline forms a rias coastline(A submergent coastline with a complex narrow bay.). Scenic landscape. City flower: Narcissus L. (1753)(Narcissus tazetta bulb), It grows naturally in the mountains throughout the city, and the fragrance and appearance of the flowers symbolize the city. The place name is from the Yoro era (717-724), and it is said that the origin is that Hachiman Ogami(From samurai families nationwide, such as Seiwa Genji and Kanmu Taira, the god of luck (the god of martial arts) “Yumiya Hachiman”) was erected on the beach of this place. The district was based on the delta area of ​​the Senjo River that runs through the center, and reclamation work was already carried out during the Tensho era (1573-1592). Since then, the city has been expanded from sea to sea due to repeated landfills. Goby(Gobioidei)cultivation and shipping industry have been active in the former Honai area since the Edo period. In the Meiji era, commerce and industry such as mining, shipping, and spinning developed under the new government's policy of promoting the breeding industry. “The development of the wholesale market for marine products and the expansion of production of mandarin oranges and other citrus fruits”. After World War II, the fishing industry developed dramatically and is famous as a base for the trawl fishery. After that, while expanding the facility as a connecting port connecting Kyushu and Shikoku, the production of citrus fruits, mainly mandarin oranges, will become the main crop of the city. In the latter half of the 1970s, the fish market facilities in Okishinden were improved and it became a popular marine product distribution base. From 1980, the Nanyo Water Supply Authority started supplying water supply, and the water shortage in summer was alleviated. On March 28, 2005, the former Yawatahama City and the former Honai Town will be added to create a new Yawatahama City. 

It is sweetened by obtaining a manufacturing process that changes tannin from soluble to insoluble by treating it with alcohol such as shochu. The flesh is smooth orange and seems to have few black spots (skibuol) and seeds compared to other persimmons. Tannin (a method that efficiently decomposes into fragments with mercaptoethanol) is a type of polyphenol that is the main component of persimmon astringency, and has antibacterial and antiviral effects that inactivate pathogens such as influenza, norovirus, and O-157. Seems to be considered.

It is a native variety and is also called “Koshu Hyakume Persimmon”. It is a bell-shaped astringent persimmon, and it is a big fruit that weighs more than 500 g. Currently, in Japan, it is the fourth largest persimmon variety in Japan after “Fuyu”, “Hiratanenashi”, and “Wase Tone”, with a 6% share. It is mainly made in Fukushima, Miyagi and Yamanashi prefectures.

The Kunigi / Ujina area is the only area in Japan that produces “Fuji persimmons”. The light of the sun shining down, the light reflected from the beautiful sea, the light reflected from the glaring terraced fields, the light reflected from the maintained garden road, the light that comes from the sweat of effort raised with strong will and passion. A fusion of producers and nature, this product is wonderful.

JA Kochi Prefecture has 12 JAs (JA Tosa Aki, JA Tosa Kami, JA Tosa Reihoku, JA Nankoku City, JA Nagaoka, JA Toochi, JA Kochi Haruno, JA Tosashi, JA Cosmos, JA Tsunoyama, JA Shimanto, JA Kochi Hata) and the federation function were integrated and born on January 1, 2019. Taking advantage of the highly productive, high-quality, warm, rainy and sunny climate in the jurisdiction, horticultural agriculture is being developed mainly in winter and spring vegetables in the plains. In the mountainous areas, horticultural agriculture that takes advantage of the cool weather conditions in summer and unique rice cultivation are being carried out, and agriculture that takes advantage of the characteristics of the region is spreading. In recent years, we have been actively engaged in agriculture that is friendly to humans and the environment, such as pesticide-reducing cultivation using natural enemy insects (those that are higher than those that are lower in the food chain).

Mihara Village, Hata District, Kochi Prefecture, is said to be the farthest from Tokyo in terms of time. Villagers value the connections between people that have been forgotten a little in modern times, do not go against nature, take care of seasonal ingredients, and live in a way that preserves the traditional “food” culture and daily activities. Here is the original scenery of Japan that used to be everywhere. Among them, Tosa inkstone is known all over the country for its good quality, and is called “Tosa Tankei Inkstone” and is gaining high popularity. In 1966, calligrapher Mr. Kenkichi Araya discovered his inkstone gemstone in Shitagiri, Mihara Village, and production began. Made from good quality black slate(Mesozoic Cretaceous Formation about 60 million years ago), it is as highly regarded by calligraphers as Chinese Tankei stone. War of Onin (1467 in the Muromachi period) Emperor's chief advisor Norifusa Ichijo-Ko escaped from the war from Kyoto, and went down to Tosa Kunihata Villa, where the Ichijo family was, and now Tosa Shimanto City (former Nakamura City), Tosa He started the Ichijo family and later built a cultural city called Little Kyoto in Tosa. It is said in the literature that Ichijo, a literary and noble calligrapher, found a good quality inkstone here and used it for a long time. Declining demand is a major challenge for many traditional crafts. Tosa Inkstone in the village is using this issue as a springboard to create new ways of working and living for craftsmen.

【Major features】
Kochi Prefecture is located in the southern part of Shikoku. The Shikoku Mountains are connected to the north, and the fan-shaped terrain facing the Pacific Ocean to the south has a total area of ​​7100 km2, accounting for 38% of the total area of ​​Shikoku. I hear that 84% of the prefecture's land area is occupied by forests, and the proportion of mountainous areas has reached 95%. On the other hand, the average annual temperature is 17.0 degrees Celsius, the annual rainfall is 2548 mm, and the annual sunshine is 2154 hours. Under such location and natural conditions, paddy rice, vegetables, fruits, livestock products, etc. are produced for agriculture, and Kochi Prefecture Agriculture is a facility gardening with high production efficiency that intensively uses narrow cultivated land. It seems that it is the core division of. In addition, ginger, eggplant, garlic, japanese ginger, and shishito pepper occupy the largest share in the whole country, and okra and cucumber also occupy a high share in the whole country. Kochi Prefecture Agricultural Cooperative Hata District Agricultural Economic Center, which has jurisdiction over Sukumo City, Shimanto City, Tosashimizu City, Kuroshio Town, Otsuki Town, and Mihara Village, is relatively active in producing open-field vegetables such as okra and broccoli. It seems to be a region. Regarding the shipment volume of okra in 2018, it seems that Kochi prefecture as a whole accounted for 1113 tons, of which about 40%, 457 tons. Even in the Hata district of Kochi prefecture, the production of okra is active in Sukumo City, and I hear that the producer subcommittee called “JA Kochi Prefecture Hata District Sukumo Subcommittee” is the center of production. Okra is native to the African continent and has been cultivated in Egypt for over 2000 years, and it is said that it entered Japan from the end of the Edo period to the beginning of the Meiji era. It seems that Sukumo City was established as an okra producing area around 1975. Until then, it was mainly paddy rice, but it seems that okra cultivation using paddy fields has begun as a crop that can generate stable profits. The reason is that it was thought to be suitable for warm and humid areas because it is vulnerable to cold and resistant to heat, dryness, and humidification.Initially, it seems that 30-40 households started outdoor cultivation. In 2013, there were 141 producers and the cultivation area reached 14 ha, but recently it has decreased due to the aging of the producers, and in 2018 it is said that the number of producers is 96 and the cultivation area is 9 ha. The main cropping types are house and open field (including tunnel) cultivation, but it seems that open field cultivation accounts for the majority. Sowing is done from February to April, and it seems that it will be harvested in about 70 days. It is said that it continues to ship from house cultivation to open field cultivation, mainly from April to early November. The optimum temperature for germination rate is 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, and it seems that the germination rate tends to decrease as the temperature decreases. The pale yellow flowers bloom(When giving a gift, it has a good meaning as a gift for a loved one.)about 60 days after sowing, and it seems to be harvested about 5 days after the flowers fall. In the hot summer months, the pods seem to grow about 4 cm a day. It is said that they are harvested every day because the fiber develops when the harvest is delayed and the taste is significantly impaired. Especially during the peak season from July to August, I hear that the harvest is done twice in the morning and evening. Therefore, it seems that the shipment volume will increase from July to August, and after September, the shipment volume will decrease as the temperature drops, and the shipment volume will be small in November. I also heard that the plant height at the end of harvest will be about 2 m. In order to ship early in the open field cultivation, it is said that mulching and a water bottle duct (hot water bottle: Originally from China, it seems to have been called “warming pan”. “Shoken 
Journal” (a diary written by Kiko Daishuku, a priest of the Rinzai sect in the middle of the Muromachi period, at Kaieji Temple in Sakai(大坂), where he spent his last years. An article from 1484-86 still exists). From the description of “warming pan” on October 9, 1486, it seems that it was already in Japan at least in the middle of the Muromachi period. Furthermore, it is written that it was imported during the Kamakura period.) are installed in the tunnel to raise the soil temperature, improve the germination rate and promote growth. Since continuous cropping reduces soil fertility and causes pests such as Nekobu nematode(Pratylenchus; penetranscobb's root-lesion nematode, Meloidogyne incognitasouthern(incognita); root-knot nematod), which reduces the yield. Therefore, when cultivating in the same field, paddy rice is cultivated for 3 years and then okra is cultivated to suppress the occurrence of Meloidogyne incognitasouthern. At the same time, it seems that they are trying to maintain the soil fertility. In addition, as an eco-friendly agriculture, producers have devised a cultivation method and are working on a difficult cultivation method called eco-cultivation that does not rely on pesticides as much as possible. JA Kochi Prefecture Hata District The variety shipped within the jurisdiction is “Early Five”. The characteristic of this product is that it has a clear pentagon and the meat quality is soft. From Takii & Co., Ltd., the plant height is medium and low, the internode length is medium and short, and the leaf size is medium and small, which is a relatively compact grass shape, so it seems that it is easy to cultivate in a house as well as in tunnel cultivation and open field cultivation. The pod color is dark green and seems to have excellent color gloss. Since the pods are less bent, it is said to have high marketability. In the case of direct sowing, there is no need to worry about late frost. Then sow. It is recommended to sprinkle 4 to 5 grains in one place and cover the soil to 2 to 3 cm. If the soil temperature in the field cannot be secured sufficiently at the time of sowing, raise seedlings. Sprinkle 4 to 5 grains in a 9 cm plastic pot and cover with soil about 1 cm. The germination is aligned by controlling the soil temperature at about 25 to 30 ° C. When there are about 3 true leaves, it seems better to plant them in the field, being careful not to cut the roots. Sufficient compost is applied in advance and deeply cultivated to create soil with good water retention and drainage. Topdressing should be started when one or two fruits are harvested, and care should be taken not to run out of fertilizer. Over-humidity in the early stages of growth tends to cause poor growth and dieback, and conversely, extreme drying tends to cause core clogging, so management is performed to maintain appropriate humidity. In addition, it is said that after the flowering and pod setting period, irrigation will be carried out as appropriate to maintain the grass vigor. In addition, it is said that it can maintain the yield until the latter half of cultivation and expect high yield because it has strong heat resistance and stamina at the same time as it pods a lot from the low node. In the jurisdiction, it seems that all the fruits are jointly selected to unify the quality. Producers will start harvesting in the field at sunrise, and will put the harvested products in containers and bring them to the fruit sorting plant. After that, the fruit sorters at the fruit sorting plant sort, pack the net with a machine, and stop the top of the net with a paper seal. According to the standard, 6 to 7 L's and 8 M's are packed, and each package weighs 5.6 kg before being delivered to the pre-cooler. We mainly ship M products with a length of 8.5 to 10.5 cm. In addition, the fruit sorting plant seems to be operating from April to November with 30 fruit sorting staff and 24 machines. The shipping volume is 2.6 tons per day on the days when the peak season is high, and the average is 1 ton. It seems that the products are packed and then delivered by truck. The main delivery destinations are Tohoku, Keihin, Chukyo, Hokuriku, Keihanshin, and Chugoku-Shikoku, and I hear that most of them are shipped to Chukyo and Keihanshin. It has been pointed out that the fruit sorting plant used to be a cause of quality deterioration because it had no air-conditioning equipment and had to perform fruit sorting work in the summer when the temperature inside the plant was high. For this reason, the subcommittee is discussing and introducing air conditioning equipment in FY2016, and is working on temperature control so that quality does not deteriorate. “Okra”, a specialty of Kochi prefecture, seems to be classified according to plant height, shape (round pods and seeds, pentagonal species, polygonal species), and pod color and length. There is a large difference in plant height depending on the variety, and some trees grow quite large in the tropics, and some pods have a length of nearly 20 cm. Looking at the main cultivars in Japan, green pentagonal varieties account for the majority, but it seems that there are also native varieties of round pods and red pods at direct sales offices. The optimum temperature for cultivation is as high as 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, and it is a perennial plant in the tropics, but it is an annual plant in Japan. JA Kochi Prefecture's Eastern Open-Air Vegetables Subcommittee has cultivated broccoli and cabbage as back crops for paddy fields. However, because it is a complementary item by producers who mainly grow paddy rice, the shipment volume is small and it is vulnerable to competition with other production areas, and the sales unit price seems to be unstable. Therefore, it seems that it was desired to introduce new promising items to replace them and to make them into production areas. Under these circumstances, he focused on “Chinese broccoli,” which can be cultivated in wet fields, has little competition with other production areas, and is expected to be in demand in the market. It is a kind of Chinese vegetable that is a member of cabbage and broccoli and is also called Chinese broccoli. I heard that the subcommittee started cultivating on a trial basis in 2009, and in 2011, set up the “芥藍; Kairan” department within the subcommittee and started full-scale production. However, since it is a new item, there are many unclear points in terms of cultivation, so the average yield is low and the number of growers seems to have been a problem. It seems that there is a reality that we have been working on securing the target yield by establishing cultivation technology and making “芥藍菜” a production area by expanding the area. In consultation with JA Kochi City, the rice cultivation department in the Kera and Otsu areas was selected as a cultivation promotion target in order to dig up new producers in 2015. In addition, I heard that they used the workshops of each subcommittee to explain the characteristics and outline of cultivation and enlightened them to introduce new products. At the beginning, 6 people showed interest in new planting, so as a result of individual interviews, 4 people started cultivation at 45 a. In order to acquire the skills of new growers at an early stage, we gave priority to on-the-spot guidance, and it seems that fertilizer and irrigation were properly performed and the plants grew smoothly. It seems that the number of producers in 2015 was 15 and the cultivated area expanded to 165 a. Since it is a newly introduced item, it seems that the cultivation management technology adapted to the area has not been established. Therefore, it seems that the appropriate fertilizer management model was formulated by organizing and analyzing past fertilizer management and yield data. In addition, it seems that the planting and harvesting methods were reviewed, and the cultivation calendar was revised and presented. I heard that at cultivation seminars and field study meetings, the level of the entire subcommittee was improved by instructing management methods according to the growth stage as well as basic cultivation techniques. The outbreak of “Plasmodiophora brassicae” reduced the yield, which seems to have been a big problem at that time. It seems that it has been seen in broccoli cultivation, but it was difficult to control it because of soil infectious diseases. Therefore, as new measures, correction of soil pH (degree of acidity and alkalinity) with alkaline materials such as converter slag and “decoy radish” : lump-reduced radish is a resistant variety, so it develops after primary infection (root hair infection). It does not seem to (skin layer infection). Therefore, it is said that it will reduce dormant spores in the soil and lead to suppression of root hair disease. Also, due to the effect of “flusulfamide agent” etc., the decoy effect on the spores sleeping in the soil cannot be expected. However, it seems that a decoy effect can be expected in the fields damaged by Plasmodiophora brassicae, where the bacteria are actively active. I heard that a field demonstration test is being conducted on a control method that reduces the density of pathogens in the field using. As a result, the control effect was confirmed in the interim survey using the test plant, and it is planned to continue the survey in the future. Furthermore, it seems that it is shipped mainly to the Kanto market, where demand is high, but it seems that there are some cases where the freshness is slightly reduced around October at the beginning of harvest. Therefore, it is said that the production subcommittee is working together to maintain quality, such as improving the harvesting / adjusting method, packaging method, and pre-cooling temperature. As for the packaging method mentioned earlier, partial packaging seems to be a patented technology developed by the Kochi Agricultural Technology Center, although the mechanism is not clear from the name alone. It seems that it was developed by its predecessor, Mr. Yoshitaka Suzuki, in cooperation with packaging equipment manufacturers and distributors. As the name implies, it seems to refer to a partially bonded packaging form. It seems that it means to wrap it with a very small gap without sealing it. Fruits and vegetables are constantly breathing, so if they are completely sealed, oxygen will be lost and they will not be able to breathe. On the contrary, it seems that if you are in normal air, you will breathe too much and consume energy. By putting air (oxygen) in a bag to make the inside of the bag low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide, respiration and production of aging hormones are suppressed. In addition, it is a well-known fact that the rate of decrease in freshness slows down. Therefore, it was known that lowering the oxygen concentration would make it last longer. It seems that the big advantage of partial seal packaging is that it can be realized at low cost. It seems that the main body of the packaging machine is expensive, but since it is possible to realize partial seal packaging just by changing the relatively inexpensive tooth mold, it is possible to introduce it at low cost, and I heard that it was widely adopted by each agricultural cooperative and market in the prefecture. Duplicate, but please forgive me. Freshness preservation technology by partial seal packaging: Developed “partial seal packaging” as a simple and low-cost freshness preservation packaging method. Obtained a patent in 2001 (Patent No. 3259166). A method of adjusting gas permeability by leaving fine voids in the welded part when mechanically packaging fruits and vegetables with a film. By changing the size of the void, it seems that the amount of gas permeated in the bag can be adjusted to a small amount. The inside of the bag becomes hypoxic and high carbon dioxide, the respiratory action of fruits and vegetables is suppressed, and a high freshness-maintaining effect appears. Since this packaging can be carried out simply by replacing the center seal roller of the packaging machine, it seems easy to introduce the technology to the production area. Welsh onions were shipped in Styrofoam containers, but the development of this packaging method has made it possible to ship in cardboard boxes, significantly reducing shipping material costs. I often see them lately. This method has been introduced as a practical technology in the production areas of garlic chives, green onions, and green onions. Also for Chinese Kale introduced this time. Exports of agricultural products are subject to harsher conditions than domestic distribution, so the freshness of agricultural products has declined significantly, and it seems that they are forced to use airmail, which has high transportation costs. At the Kochi Agricultural Technology Center, in the research project “Establishment of super-partial freshness-preserving packaging technology for fruits and vegetables” from 2008 to 2009, freshness-preserving packaging for sea mail, whose transportation cost is 1/10 of that of air mail. Developed the technology. We have improved the partial seal packaging to handle shipping that takes about a week, and have also conducted export tests for net melons, high sugar content tomatoes, garlic chives, green onions, etc. to Taiwan, Malaysia, and Hong Kong. In Japan, there were scenes of encountering high temperatures, but after being delivered to the Leafa container, it remained in a low temperature and high humidity environment of around 3 ° C and 80%, and it was found that it was hardly placed in high temperatures even after arriving in Taiwan. That's right. It seems that the softening inhibitory effect of netmelon and high sugar content tomato, and the green retention effect of garlic and green onion were confirmed. I heard that the handling of luggage was rough by sea, and some cardboard boxes were crushed or torn. In addition to this, the person in charge was in the process of developing freshness-preserving packaging technology for okra, broccoli, brassica flower, asparagus, etc.

Bolting is easy, using young leaves and growing flower stalks, but it is also possible to eat from a young age. Isothiocyanate derived from Brassicaceae does not exist in vegetables as it is, but in the state of tasteless and odorless glucosinolate (mustard oil glycoside) and indole-3-carbinol (C9H9NO) in the cell. Clearly isolated. In addition, since cells are destroyed by eating, they are produced by the action of an enzyme called myrosinase that exists in different places. Since test results have shown that it has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, expectations for the prevention of chronic diseases in cruciferous vegetables are increasing.

I hear that the roots are broccoli cultivated on the Mediterranean coast, which has been mutated or improved to its present form. In Japan, Shizuoka was the first to cultivate, and it seems that it is spreading mainly in the Kanto region after that.
