On January 26, Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries announced the results of the first bid for “Government-Stocked RICE” produced in 2022. 205,550 t, which is 99% of the planned annual purchase quantity, was sold. Following the 2021 production, it seems that the first bid filled almost all of the planned purchase quota. It seems that the number of successful bids for the first time is the largest since 2011, when the pre-bid system was adopted before the harvest season. Government-stocked rice generally seems to have a lot of bids if there is a prejudice. It seems that there is a strong view among market participants last year that the price of rice produced in 2020 will be followed by the decline in 2021 production. It seems that there was a bid of over 380,000 t from qualified participants such as JA and rice wholesalers in the planned purchase limit of about 207,000 tons. The number of bidders was 131, which was the highest number since 2011 for the first time. On the other hand, the number of successful bidders was 30, which seems to have been lower than expected. The wholesale price of new rice for the 2020 production has fallen for the first time in six years, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries seems to have expected that the supply and demand of the 2021 production may loosen. It seems that bidding for rice stocked by the government, whose price will be decided early, will be strong again if there is a strong view that the price will drop this fall. The first bid for 2021 rice produced by the government was held on January 26th. The planned purchase quantity is 207,000 t, which is the same as the rice produced in 2020, but there are some changes. One is that the minimum retail application quantity has been raised from 10t to 100 t as a purchase requirement (until the second round on February 16, 2021). In addition, it seems that the quantity of so-called B category, which is purchased using a grain discriminator, has increased five times from 500 t to 2500 t. The priority quota for each prefecture is about 185,314 t, and the general quota is about 21,686 t. It seems that there were many frames for each production area. Regarding rice stockpiled by the government, due to a shortage of warehouses for rice produced in 2020, some successful tenderers had to bring rice produced in their own prefecture to a distant warehouse. In preparation for annual rice production, tent warehouses are being built in each production area, where the main food rice is quickly inspected and shipped to the consumption area, and the company is moving to secure storage space for government-stocked rice in the sales warehouse of the production area. It seems that there was also. Well, there was some movement this year, but it's more attention, and next year it's spotlight.

Amanatsu is a special product that has begun to be cultivated in the Ashikita region of Kumamoto prefecture, and boasts the highest production in Japan. Every year around December, the mountains turn bright yellow, and when the New Year is over, it seems that the harvest will start all at once in the cold. The former Sashiki Tunnel, which connects Tanoura Town and Ashikita Town with a tunnel located in the center of Yatsushiro City and Minamata City, started construction in 1901 and was completed in 1903. With a total length of about 433.5, a width of about 5.5 m, and a central height of about 4.4 m, it was the sixth longest in Japan at that time and the second longest in Kyushu, and it seems that it was an important road tunnel from a historical point of view. Stone pilasters, band stones, and brick portals were constructed on the left and right sides of the wellhead. The bricks are stacked in France, the arch inside the tunnel is the longitudinal stack of bricks, and the side walls are the British stack. The tunnel is about 15 minutes from the Ashikita interchange on the Kyushu Expressway. It is a brick tunnel and was designated as a registered tangible cultural property on August 21, 2002. It is designated as a registered tangible cultural property. During the construction of this tunnel, it seems that a cave-in accident occurred in the past and several people were killed. After that, the old Sashiki tunnel was opened safely. However, it becomes a psychic spot where ghost sightings and mysterious accidents occur frequently. The main reason for this is that it may be due to a psychic disorder that has been transmitted to me. It seems that a mysterious phenomenon is occurring in this tunnel with a high probability. Now that the new Sashiki tunnel has been built, it seems that few people use the old tunnel, but many people still visit for the purpose of trying their luck. Moreover, it seems that you have to be careful when driving because the road is narrow. In addition, it seems that there was a tendency to make the old Sashiki tunnel the final destination of life in search of a place to hang himself and die, including self-immolation in the heart of parents and children. If the specter and the spirit of a dead person walk, they must have been worshiped in the sense of a traveler's guardian deity (traveller) long before we were born. とろりと白く膏を流した葦北の海の向ふには, 今沈む夕日を銜んで紫は濃く碧は薄く幾重にも重なり, 並ぶ凸凹の形面白い天草の島山. 登場の地の標柱, 1913. 9/30: 午後 徳冨蘆花 【死の陰に】Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy(露)の What to do? は, 半分讀みかけて抛(はふ)り出してあつた. 決して閑却(かんきやく)する譯でも, 蔑視(べつし)する譯でもない. 否彼翁と自分の間はあまりに肖(に)て居る. 讀む要はないまでに肖て居る. 讀まなくてもよいが, 顏は見たい。【小説 冨士】 第四卷 徳冨蘆花

Trademark registration means registering the naming and logo attached to products and services with the Japan Patent Office, which is an external agency of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan. It seems that not only the product naming and logo but also the company name may be registered as a trademark. When you apply for trademark registration with the Japan Patent Office, an examination will be conducted as to whether or not the trademark registration can be approved. If, as a result of the examination, it is determined that the trademark registration may be permitted, the trademark will be registered by paying the registration fee to the Japan Patent Office. If it deserves approval, the trademark right will be granted to the applicant who applied for trademark registration. The applicant is a trademark owner in the sense that he / she has the trademark right. In addition, the trademark right is the right to use the registered trademark exclusively for the goods and services specified in advance. A third party who is not the trademark owner may not use a trademark that is the same as or similar to the registered trademark for the designated goods / designated services that are the same as or similar to the designated goods / designated services. If a third party who does not have any rights uses a trademark that is the same as or similar to the registered trademark for the designated goods / designated services that are the same as or similar to the designated goods / designated services, the trademark rights will be infringed. In addition, if a third party infringes the trademark right, the trademark owner may file a claim for damages or an injunction against the third party in court. For example, for trademark infringement acts, as relief by civil proceedings in court, seeking injunction of infringement acts, claiming damages, claiming return of unjust enrichment, for credit recovery It is possible to request measures, etc. Apart from this, if it is a criminal case, criminal penalties may be applied as a result of the trial. The injunction request has the following injunctions against trademark infringement (Article 36 of the Trademark Law). Requests for infringement to stop the act, requests for prevention of infringement for those who may infringe, disposal of the infringing material, removal of equipment used for infringing, and other infringement Request for measures necessary for prevention. Of these, 3 can only be billed with 1 or 2. Also, when requesting an injunction, it is not a requirement that the infringer have intentional or negligent infringement. Regarding 3, if the infringer uses a registered trademark or a trademark similar to it only for the product tag, the question is whether it is possible to request the disposal of the removed product, but the product and the tag are Regardless of the circumstances that make it inseparable and inseparable, if the product itself does not have a trademark at all and can be easily separated, even the product with the tag removed is requested to be discarded. It's difficult. If trademark infringement has already become a reality and there is an urgent need to do so, such as when there is a possibility of significant damage if left unchecked, a provisional disposition will be given to the court to suspend the infringement. It is possible to file a petition. A claim for damages can be made against a person who manufactures, sells, or imports a counterfeit product that infringes a trademark right. In order to claim damages, it is necessary to prove many facts, but it is often difficult to prove the facts, so the law provides a calculation rule for the amount of damages (Article 38 of the Trademark Law). In addition, regarding the intentional or negligence of the infringer, which is necessary as a precondition for claiming damages, it is presumed that there was negligence in the act of infringement (Trademark Law, Article 39, Patent Law, Article 103). It facilitates claims for damages against infringers. Provisions for calculating the amount of damages Part 1 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 1 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 1 of the Trademark Law stipulates the method for calculating the amount of damages based on the recognition of lost profits. In cases where counterfeit products are sold, trademark owners, etc. are within the range of their own ability to use, etc. (1) Lost profits due to a decrease in sales volume, and in the part beyond the range of ability to use, etc. (2) Lost profits due to loss of licensing opportunities are recognized. Based on this idea, this provision refers to the amount of profit per unit quantity (generally, so-called marginal profit) of a product that the trademark owner, etc. could have sold without infringement. The amount obtained by multiplying. By the quantity of the counterfeit goods transferred by the infringer according to the ability of the trademark owner, etc. (referred to as the “use-appropriate quantity”) (loss margin of (1)) And, if a quantity of counterfeit products exceeding the quantity suitable for use is transferred, the license equivalent amount (lossy profit of (2)) for this quantity can be calculated and the total can be used as the damage amount. There is. However, if there are circumstances in which the trademark owner, etc. cannot sell all or part of the transferred quantity, the quantity corresponding to the circumstances (referred to as the “specified quantity”) is the calculation of lost profits in (1). It is deducted from the quantity that is the basis of (2) and is used as the basis for the calculation of lost profits. This “circumstances where it cannot be sold” is, for example, recognized that the infringer's sales are mainly due to the infringer's own sales efforts, and that all demand for counterfeit products goes to genuine products due to differences in quality and price. It cannot be done, the original trademark is used in addition to the trademark similar to the counterfeit product, and the consumer purchased it because it is an infringer's product, the existence of competing products and their influence, and the trademark is a counterfeit product. It is planned that the infringer will claim and prove it because it contributes only to a part of the total added value of. In addition, if the trademark contributes only to a part of the total added value of the counterfeit product, or if it is not recognized that the trademark owner, etc. could grant the license to the infringer (No. 2 parentheses in the same paragraph). As a result, the amount of damage in item 2 may not be recognized. In certifying the amount equivalent to the license in Item 2, the amount that will be agreed between the parties on the premise of the fact of infringement can be taken into consideration (paragraph 4 of the same Article). “Damage amount” = (“Infringer's transfer quantity within the limit of use-appropriate quantity”- “Specific quantity”) x “Profit per unit of right holder” + “Quantity exceeding use-appropriate quantity or specific quantity” License equivalent amount * If it is not recognized that the trademark owner has granted the license to the infringer, the damage amount will not be recognized. 2) Provisions for calculating the amount of compensation for damages Part 2 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 2 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 2 of the Trademark Law states that when an infringer is benefiting from an infringing act, the profit is It stipulates that the amount is estimated as the damage amount of the right holder as it is. In order to calculate the damage according to the same paragraph, it is necessary that there is a situation that profit would have been obtained if there had been no trademark infringement by the infringer. In addition, the profit gained “by the act of infringement” is limited to the portion (the portion that contributed) that the trademark contributed to the sales of the counterfeit product. Therefore, the ratio of the contributed portion (contribution rate) may be taken into consideration when calculating the amount of compensation for damages. “Damage amount” * = “Profit gained by infringer” * Contribution rate affects the calculation of damage compensation amount. Provisions for calculating damages No. 3 (Relief under Article 38, Paragraph 3 of the Trademark Law): Article 38, Paragraph 3 of the Trademark Law states that even if the infringer did not benefit from the infringing act, or something. It stipulates that even if the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of the same Article cannot be applied for some reason, the infringer can be claimed for damages equivalent to the license fee. Paragraph 3 of the same Article is considered to be a statutory provision for the minimum amount of damage. Therefore, it may be realistic to make a claim based on this section due to the difficulty of proof. In addition, when certifying the amount equivalent to the license, the amount that will be agreed between the parties on the premise of the fact of infringement can be taken into consideration (paragraph 4 of the same Article). However, if the infringer proves that the use of a mark similar to a registered trademark did not contribute to attracting customers at all, it may be considered that no damage has occurred. “Damage amount” = “License equivalent amount” Example: “Transfer quantity of infringer" × “License equivalent amount per unit of right holder” “Sales of infringer” × “License fee rate” there is a possibility. Provisions for calculating the amount of damages Part 4 (Relief pursuant to Article 38, Paragraph 5 of the Trademark Law): Under the “TPP Agreement”, the introduction of a statutory damages system for trademark rights or an additional damages system is required for unauthorized use of trademarks. There is. Along with this, Article 38, Paragraph 5 of the Trademark Law stipulates that the amount equivalent to the cost normally required for acquiring and maintaining a trademark right can be the amount of damage suffered by the trademark owner, etc. There is. The scope of unauthorized use of a trademark under the “TPP agreement” is to mutually change the display of the trademark, hiragana: japanese cursive characters, katakana, and romaji: latin alphabet characters consisting of the same characters with only the typeface changed, and the same names and ideas. This is the case when a trademark that causes the above, a trademark that consists of figures that are equated in appearance, or any other trademark that is recognized as the same as the registered trademark is used. Unjust enrichment claim: If a trademark right is infringed, it may be possible to exercise the unjust enrichment claim. Request for Credit Restoration Measures: For a person who has damaged the business credit of the trademark owner, the court may order the measures to restore the credit at the request of the trademark owner (Article 39 of the Trademark Law). , Article 106 of the Patent Law). Specifically, if it can be evaluated that the infringer's inferior goods have damaged the business trust of the trademark owner, measures such as posting an apology advertisement can be requested. Pursuit of criminal liability: A person who infringes a trademark right is punished by imprisonment with work for not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than 10 million yen, so if the trademark right is infringed, the pursuit of criminal liability can be considered. (Article 78 of the Trademark Law). In addition, imprisonment and fines can be imposed (both are imposed). For corporations, there are so-called punishment provisions that, in addition to the punishment of the performer, a fine will be imposed on the corporation that is the business entity if the infringement is committed in relation to the business (trademark). Law Article 82). From the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan Patent Office website, as of April 2021. In other words, requesting other companies that have used their registered trademarks to compensate for damages caused by infringement of trademark rights, or to stop selling products or services that use the trademarks. Can be done. Conversely, if you infringe the trademark rights of another company, the trademark owner will request you to compensate for the damages or stop selling products or services that use the trademark. To put it simply, trademark registration means registering a name or logo attached to a product or service so that only the company can use the name or logo. Is there a lot of disadvantages such as pay attention to public opinion? It may take nearly a year from trademark registration application to acquisition of rights in recent years. However, if certain conditions are met, it seems that it can be shortened to about 3 months by requesting an accelerated examination. It costs money to acquire and renew the rights. Depending on the conditions at the time of filing, it often costs a little less than 100,000 yen to 100,000 yen from application to registration. There is also a cost to renew the rights period every 10 years. However, there are cases where various subsidies from local governments and ministries can be used. The cost required to acquire the right is not cheap, but considering the cost when the store name, product name, etc. cannot be used and the product has to be changed, I think that the cost is worth the 訴訟費用. Now, I would like to introduce the production area (wholesale area) and the neighboring local governments, though it is simple. “Ashikita Town, Ashikita District, Kumamoto Prefecture”, Located in the southern part of the prefecture.

In 1580, the Sagara army attacked and repelled the Shimazu navy(藤原北家菊池家流甲斐氏- 響之原合戦覚書). In 1597, Dutch ship stopped at this port prior to Hirado and requested trade. The ‘Tomi Gobansho’ was set up during the Hosokawa clan era. There were many ‘Kako(Sailor)’ in the uras of Ashikita. Sailors often travels to the Kinki region, which is an advanced area of ​​the Japanese fishery, due to the clan's request. There are many opportunities to see and hear the fishery in other places, so we are actively introducing it. The joint net spread(Combined net; Nets like those currently used)from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji era. “Geishu sink” : Aki Province, Hiroshima Domain. It happened that a fisherman in Hiroshima started in Ashikita. A fishing method called a drifting ship, in which a bottom trawling net is pulled by a sailing ship.

Current Amakusa City-Ariake Town, Former Amakusa District, Kumamoto Prefecture: Amanatsu(In the garden of TSUKUMI city in Oita prefecture (formerly kitaamabe district): Discovered Citrus Natsudaidai in the garden of Mr. YUTAKA Kawano in 1950. Known as a variety with low sourness.)sport cultivar discovered by Mr. Kyoichi YOSHIDA in 1965. In 1967, he joined the park with the guidance of Ariake Amakusa Agricultural improvement extension office. At the same time, the seedlings were cultivated and investigated, and the characteristics that the logs did not change were confirmed. Over time, it was Registered as seedling name No.285 in 1975. Investigate the characteristics of kawano citrus natsudaidai and seedlings in terms of both tree vigor and appearance - Kumamoto Fruit Tree Experiment Station. Confirm that the shape of leaf and flower and the size of fruits are almost the same(Comparative trial). Don't forget that it is also fertile.

It is said that the original citrus summer citrus was sown with fruit seeds that had drifted to the coast of Yamaguchi Prefecture during the Edo period. From that summer tangerine, Amanatsu was discovered in 1935 as a sport in an orchard in Oita prefecture. The shape does not seem to be much different from that of Natsudaidai, but it is characterized by its quicker removal of acid and stronger sweetness than Natsudaidai. Cultivation began in earnest in warm regions such as Oita and Kumamoto around 1955, and it seems that it has become known nationwide.

Elegant sweetness, refreshing acidity and bittersweetness, it is still a popular mandarin orange: citrus natsudaidai. If you like sour taste, it's good early, and if you like sweet and rich taste, it's good after being stored for a while. The sale period seems to be from January to the end of March. It seems that Amanatsu and Beni Amanatsu, which can be enjoyed from spring to summer, go from Kumamoto to Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture every year, load them in containers, transport them by freight, and store them in the refrigerator. It seems that the staff of the Taura Citrus Association will go on a business trip and select fruits from April. From around May, it seems that Nagano (produced in Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture) storage Amanatsu is on sale.

One liter of gasoline is subject to a consumption tax in addition to a tax of 53 yen, which is called a volatile oil tax. At a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on January 25, 2022, Liberal Democratic Party heavyweight Mr. Hagyuuda will implement price restraint measures to curb soaring fuel prices such as gasoline and kerosene for the first time. It would be great if people involved in agriculture could benefit from this as much as possible. If the industry itself is not lively, the future of Japan will be dark and we cannot entrust the holy Japan to the children of the future. Without mixed agriculture, Japan's development is unlikely. Looking at the changes in statistics, the gasoline price, which was 50 yen per liter as of April-August 1966, soared to 177 yen in 1982 after two oil shocks. After that, a reverse oil shock struck, and gasoline prices fell, but due to the effects of the subprime loan problem, they soared again in 2008. Immediately after that, the Lehman shock occurred and the situation was plummeting. After that, it will rise again, but it has fallen to 109 yen in March 2016 due to the US lifting the ban on crude oil exports. From the consumer's point of view, 1995-2005 was relatively cheap and stable until about 17 years ago. But what about now? Isn't the car away from the general public, especially young people, accelerating because of that influence? I personally like the constitution of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. for a long time. Especially in 1946, when bicycles were the main means of transportation. Mr. Soichiro HONDA, who met the power generation engine of a radio owned by the former Army, remembered his wife who went shopping far away and was conceived to use it as an auxiliary power for a bicycle. He seems to have converted about 500 engines into auxiliary engines for bicycles and put them on the market. With unprecedented convenience and a flood of orders, he quickly began developing his own engine, and in 1947 he introduced the A-type engine as the first product to bear the Honda name. Complete. The Japanese car industry that followed him is still great and should not be depressed.

The main production areas of ginger under the jurisdiction of JA Kochi Prefecture are the Kozai district, Niyodogawa district, Kochi district, and Kami district. Kochi Prefecture is the number one producer of this excellent agricultural product in Japan. After harvesting from October to November, it is stored in a constant temperature / humidity storage and shipped throughout the year. Kochi ginger, which is loved all over the world, has few fibers and is characterized by its firm texture and mellow taste. In addition, the strength of the aroma when grated illuminates its presence as a condiment. The storage method is not suitable for long-term refrigerated storage, so it is better to dry it until the skin turns white, wrap it in newspaper and place it in a cool and dark place, or grate it or cut it into small pieces and then freeze it. Greenhouse new ginger, but the main production areas are the Kobata district, Kochi district, and Tocho(Tsuchinari)district. New ginger cultivated in the house is produced by heating the inside of the greenhouse during the cold season, and it seems that it is harvested mainly from March to September while relaying the production area. Unlike ginger, which is on the market all year round, it is pure white and beautiful, and it stimulates your appetite even more. This excellent produce is characterized by a soft texture, mild spiciness and a rich aroma. Unlike ginger, it has less spiciness, so I think it is suitable for people who are not good at spiciness. Haruno Town, Kochi City is the main production area for new greenhouse ginger, and until last year, about 40 producers were cultivating 12 hectares. I hope that the supply and demand of agricultural products will catch up, the number of producers (farmers) will increase, and that it will contribute to the creation of attractive towns and Japanese agriculture.

【Features】
The origin of ginger is said to be tropical Asia, and it is used all over the world as a medicinal and spice. It is said that it was introduced to Japan from China before the 3rd century, and it is stated in the “Kojiki(It is generally said to be the oldest history book in Japan. According to the foreword, it was established when Yasumarnd Ono was compiled in Wado 5 (712 AD) and presented to Empress Genmei. It consists of three volumes, upper, middle and lower, and describes the article of Empress Suiko from the myth from the creation of heaven and earth.)(Teiki: 帝紀(A Chinese style description of everything from the throne of an emperor to the death of the emperor. Who was the predecessor, what was the name of the emperor, who was the empress, how many children were there, what was the nationally important event at that time, where is the imperial tomb, etc. Carefully listed.) / Kyuji: 旧辞(The myths, legends, and song stories before the reign of the emperor are described in a slightly broken Chinese style. In addition, the history books of each clan, which are said to be the basic materials of Kiki (Kojiki and Nihon Shoki).)” that it has been cultivated for a long time. When varieties of traditional ginger are classified according to size, they are roughly classified into O(Large)ginger, Chu(Medium)ginger, and Ko(Small)ginger, and when classified by cultivation / harvesting method, root ginger and leaf ginger are roughly classified into Ya ginger(gingerroot). In Asia, it is often used mainly as spicy vegetables for cooking, sliced, finely chop and used for scenting fried food and food cooked by boiling, and also used as conditions for pieces of vegetables and grated ginger. There is. Ginger grilled pork is a very popular Japanese food menu, which plays a role in flavoring and sterilizing meat. I've also heard that ginger is used more often as a spice in Indian cuisine than onions and onions, which have a strong odor. On the other hand, in Europe and the United States, processed products such as ginger cookies, ginger bread, and ginger ale are common. Ginger is a vegetable grown in warm regions. In Japan, Kochi prefecture, Kumamoto prefecture, Chiba prefecture, etc. are the main production areas, and it seems that they are not cultivated much in the north of Kanto because the temperature is not suitable. Although it is distributed year-round, the leaf ginger circulation period is around June to August. Kochi Prefecture accounts for about 40% of the total shipment of ginger in Japan. It seems that root ginger is cultivated mainly in Kochi and Kumamoto prefectures, and leaf ginger is mainly cultivated in Chiba prefecture. With the spread of ginger in tubes, which is easy to handle, the market distribution volume of fresh ginger seems to be declining. Most of the imported products from overseas such as China and Thailand are processed products such as pickled ginger of sweet and sour ginger and red pickled ginger pickled in plum vinegar. It seems that “Zingiber siccatum”, which is used as a Chinese herbal medicine by drying ginger other than edible, has been exported from the Mikawa region and Omi(Omi ginger, which is said to have been introduced from Shiga prefecture to the Kanto region, is a representative variety of Zingiberaceae. The tubers are hypertrophied and weigh about 500 g to 1 kg. The appearance is pale yellow and shiny, and the meat quality is soft. It has a refreshing aroma, is less spicy and is easy to eat. Suitable for pickled ginger and condiments. For large ginger, the tubers cut by hand into 150-200 g pieces are dried for 2-3 days. It seems that it is good to plant the buds diagonally upward at a ridge width of about 70 cm, a spacing of about 20 cm, and a depth of 5 to 6 cm. When the shoots are growing, add fertilizer and earthing up, and lay straw because it is vulnerable to drying. The standard harvest time is from October to November when the foliage turns yellow, and the harvest season is from October to November.)in Aichi prefecture since the Meiji era. Besides being used as a spicy vegetable, it is also produced worldwide for medicinal purposes. The English ginger comes from the Sanskrit word “horn-shaped”, which seems to be derived from its shape resembling a deer antler. In cultivation, it seems essential to avoid continuous cropping in order to control Meloidogyne and Pythium myriotylum(It seems that it overwinters mainly in the form of follicles together with the damaged tissue and is transmitted to the soil. In addition, seed tuber transmission by diseased tubers is also performed. Secondary transmission is caused by zoospores released from the bacterial cells into the water, so it seems that it may occur frequently when the field is flooded. It is infected when the soil temperature is 15 to 20 ° C or higher, and it seems that the outbreak will increase if there is a lot of rainfall after the end of May. The first train in normal years is in the middle of June, but in the year when the soil temperature is high, the first train will be earlier. It seems to invade stems, tubers, roots and shoots. On the stem, water-soaked lesions appear on the ground and extend to the upper part. Later, the stem seems to turn light brown. The leaves turn yellow from the lower leaves, but the leaves remain open and appear to be withered. When the disease progresses rapidly, it seems that the ground area softens and rots and falls down. It seems that the stems often easily come off the rotting part of the ground when the diseased strain is pulled. It seems that the tubers initially develop light brown and then brown depressed lesions. When young tubers are often infected and the disease progresses rapidly, it seems to soften and rot. However, it seems that the parent tuber is less corrupt. Under moist conditions, it seems that cotton candy-like white hyphae are formed on the surface of the damaged part. It seems preferable to use disease-free seed tubers as needed. Even if the seed tubers are taken from a field where no symptoms are observed in the above-ground part, the tubers in the underground part may be affected. If there are spots, it is preferable not to use it as a seed tuber. Take sufficient drainage measures such as raising the ridges and preventing the inflow of water from the outside. Strive to detect the diseased strain at an early stage. If the disease is found, remove the diseased strain and several strains around it, and isolate the diseased part with a partition with ridges and vinyl coating. In addition, it seems better to avoid continuous cropping in the field where the disease has occurred once, and if possible, do not grow the same crop for 3 years.). Returning to the story a little, ginger is characterized by being imported in various forms, and it seems that the amount of imports in recent years has been stable at around 80,000 tons. According to the import statistics for 2018, fresh ginger was 25,520 tons, salting ginger was 15,378 tons, dried ginger was 653 tons, vinegar-prepared ginger was 17,848 tons, and other prepared ginger was 27,669 tons. I heard that processed products such as salting and vinegar preparation are used for pickled ginger and red pickled ginger. Looking at the import destinations, it seems that most of the salting ginger is Thailand and China, and the rest is mostly China. The export destination of fresh food is not stable, but it seems that most of the other adjusted ginger is destined for Hong Kong, the United States, and Vietnam. Former JA Shimanto (now JA Kochi Prefecture) is located in the Kubokawa area and Nakatosa Town (Nakatosa Town and Ono in December 2005) in Shimanto Town (the merger of Kubokawa Town, Taisho Town and Towa Village in March 2006). The Onomi area (which was merged with Mimura) was in the jurisdiction. The Kubokawa area, where the former JA headquarters was located, is located in the western part of Kochi prefecture, and has a coastal area with a beautiful coastal beauty and a Konandai plateau at an altitude of about 230 m. It seems that it was the center of economy, industry, transportation, and culture in the Takahata area, which points to the southwestern part of Kochi prefecture. The area has a large temperature difference between day and night, and is a plateau in a cool and dense fog-prone area, so it is considered to be a suitable place for rice cultivation, and it is one of the prefecture's leading rice-growing areas that produces high-quality rice called “Niida Rice”. In addition, open-air ginger, facility gardening such as garlic, peppers, and Japanese ginger, and livestock such as pig farming, dairy farming, and beef cattle are also popular. Kochi Prefecture seems to have the largest production of ginger in the open field in Japan. Among them, the Kubogawa area is the largest ginger producing area in the prefecture because it is suitable for cultivating high-quality ginger due to fertile cultivated land, heavy fog, and heavy rain in summer, and has a well-established production base. In addition, cultivation efforts have been introduced as crops for conversion due to the decrease in rice cultivation, and it seems that they reached their peak in the 1970s. However, due to the aging of the population and the slump in prices due to the rapid increase in imported ginger mainly from China, it seems that the status quo is currently maintained or is on a slight decline. The varieties cultivated are Large ginger of strains such as Tosa No. 1 and Cambodia, which are suitable for conventional cultivation. Before planting, it seems that the ginger harvested the previous year is taken out of the storage and divided by hand, and about 2 gall (about 200 g) is planted in April as one plant. From June to July, when the plant grows, earthing up and laying straw. And it seems that irrigation will be done from July to September. Ginger has an excellent bactericidal effect peculiar to it, but it is a very delicate plant in itself, and it seems that if you use river water directly, you will get sick. For this reason, I heard that groundwater is pumped up and irrigated with sprinklers. It seems that the tuber tends to get bigger if you give plenty of water. Harvest is from late October to early November due to frost. The harvest seems to pull the stems and dig up the ginger. In recent years, the number of mechanical harvests has increased, and it seems that the stems are rolled up and dug with a dedicated harvester. It seems that about 200 grams of parental ginger can produce 2 kg of large ginger from one plant. It seems that ginger harvested in the fall will be temporarily stored in the storage. Sales at JA will be carried out through JA Kochi Prefecture (formerly Kochi Prefectural Horticultural Federation), and from January to December of the following year, the product stored in a low-temperature warehouse as “enclosed ginger” will be sold in the sales plan. It seems that it will be shipped and sold to markets all over the country. It seems that fully matured ginger can be stored for over a year at a temperature of around 14 ° C and appropriate humidity. Shipment seems to be in small packages of 100g and 130 g trays and bags called 4 kg cardboard and shrink.  Previously, cardboard shipments were the mainstream, but in recent years, shrink shipments, which are strongly inquired by mass retailers such as supermarkets, have come to account for about 80%. At JA's shipping site, workers carefully put kitchen knives one by one after washing them with water and finish them from raw materials to products. Members of the Ginger Producers Department are obliged to fill in the production ledger (production history) and submit it to JA, and it seems that they have a system that can respond instantly to inquiries from consumers. In addition, the Kochi Prefectural Agricultural Products Safety Inspection Center conducts a pesticide residue inspection of ginger every month, and in addition to ensuring proper use of pesticides on a daily basis, we respond to consumer demands for safety and security by undergoing strict inspections by third parties. Seems to be there. Ginger seems to have entered Japan as a crude drug that is indispensable for Chinese herbal medicine. The Chinese name is “Shonchan”, and it is still mixed with many Chinese herbs. By the way, in China, it seems to have been used for the treatment of antitussive, expectorant, antitussive, antipyretic, detoxification, digestive function recovery, abdominal pain, stomach pain and so on. These benefits are due to the spicy zingerone(C11H14O3)and shogaol(C17H24O3), the scented cineole(C10H18O), zingiol(C17H26O4), and zingiberene(C15H24). Tosa's “Igosso” (a dialect that means “stubborn person” in Kochi language) has an aging-suppressing effect on ginger made with great care and dedication. There seems to be. Ginger has a strong stake-oxidizing effect peculiar to it, and is said to prevent the oxidation of blood and intracellular lipids. It also seems to protect the body from active oxygen, which is a cause of aging. It is effective for poor circulation and diet, and it has the effect of burning fat in the body because it dilates blood vessels and improves blood circulation, which improves the coldness of females and raises the body temperature by 1 to 2 degrees.

Depending on the size, it is classified into Large ginger (Hachiro, Omi, etc.), Medium ginger (Boshu, Rakuda, etc.), and Small ginger (Native species, Yanaka, Madare, Sunshu, etc.). “Tosa No. 1” is a native species of Kochi prefecture and seems to be produced in many prefectures. Shin-Kochi, Bio, and Hachiro are selected from Doza No. 1 and are the original varieties of the Yatsushiro Agricultural Cooperative (JA Yatsushiro) in Kumamoto Prefecture.

Stretch packaging refers to packaging in which a polyethylene stretch film is wrapped around the sides of an article on a pallet while applying tension to prevent the load from collapsing. Stretch film was developed in the 1980s. With the advent of stretch packaging, even products with a large palletized volume do not require a large shrink tunnel, and by winding the object in multiple layers with a small packaging machine, it can have the same function as shrink packaging. It looks like it was done. I heard that stretch packaging uses a film made of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE). The mascot character, Ginger Shota-kun, is the work of the late Takashi Yanase.

Ecosystem cultivation refers to a method of growing vegetables by reducing the burden on the environment as much as possible without relying on chemically synthesized pesticides as much as possible. It seems that pest control includes predation using insects, which are natural enemies, creating an environment where insects cannot see, and suppressing the outbreak of pests by putting an ultraviolet cut film on them. The cultivation method recommended by Japan is called “specially cultivated agricultural products” and “ecosystem cultivation” together with “eco(ecology)-vegetables in Kochi”.

Ehime Prefecture is located in the northwestern part of the Shikoku region. The south side of the prefecture is the Shikoku Mountains, which crosses the central part of Shikoku from east to west. It is formed. On the south side of the prefecture, which is the western part of the Shikoku Mountains, there are high-altitude mountains such as Mt. Ishizuchi (elevation 1982 m), which is the highest peak in western Japan west of Kinki. In addition, many rivers such as the Shigenobu River and the Hiji River flow from these mountains, and plains and basins are formed in the basin. In addition, the Sadamisaki Peninsula, which is the longest peninsula in Japan, extends from the Kyushu region, and a ria coast can be seen in the Uwa Sea. In all prefectures nationwide, the total length of the coastline reached the fifth, about 1,700 km, as of 2016. Due to the geographically influenced climate of the Seto Inland Sea region, precipitation is relatively low and sunny weather is high, and it tends to be relatively dry. In general, the northwestern seasonal winds are predominant in winter, and the southeastern seasonal winds are predominant in summer. Relatively calm. Here, the saying: proverb. Spring mountain path tells the rain: 春のやまじは雨しらす (the mountain breeze that blows from the southwest is a warm and moist wind, so it is easier to rain if there is a lot of water).

Since the production area of ​​vegetables in Ehime prefecture is smaller than that of other prefectures, it is easy to think that the vegetables produced are small quantities and many items. We are striving to improve the name recognition and advantageous sales of “Ehime vegetables” through consumer promotion activities and planned sales, mainly in the region and prefecture. Speaking of Issun broad beans, “Ryosai Issun broad beans” is a nationally famous variety, but the prefecture has been strongly working on the cultivation of a new variety “Ai no Sora(From the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries variety registration website, Vicia faba L .: Application number, 20843, Application date, 2007/03/27, Application publication date, 2007/08/03, Registration number, 18295, Registration date Date, 2009/06/25, Duration of breeder's right, 25 years, Date of extinction of breeder's right, Name and address of breed registrant, Ehime prefecture (Ichiban Town, Matsuyama City): Breeding of registered varieties Name of the person who did it, Mr. Kenji Nagai, Mr. Yasuo Toi, Restrictions on exports No designated country. Outline of the characteristics of the plant of the registered varieties: Medium grass vigor, medium plant height, medium grass shape, slightly high number of divisional techniques, slightly large number of effective divisional techniques, long internode length, medium stem anthocyanin , Leaf size is a little small, Leaf color is green, Flower color is mostly white, Bottom pod node position is medium, pod density is a little honey, pod number is a little small, pod length is long, The width of the pod is quite large, the thickness of the pod is medium, the weight of the pod is heavy, the color of the pod is medium, the pod is medium, the constriction of the pod is large, the number of seats is 2.5 or more and less than 3.0, the actual number of grains. 2.0 or more, less than 2.5, blue fruit length is quite long, blue fruit width is quite wide, blue fruit weight is heavy, blue fruit greenness is medium, seed umbilical color is black, seed coat The color is light brown, the beginning of flowering is a little early, and the pods are harvested a little early. The application cultivar “Ai no Sora” is distinguished from the control cultivar “Ryosai Issun” in that the weight of the pods is heavier and the weight of the fruits is heavier. Compared to the control variety “Uchikoshi Issun”, the weight of the pods is heavier and the weight of the green fruits is heavier.)” cultivated at the Ehime Prefectural Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Research Institute since 2007. I'm out. This broad bean is a traditional Ehime vegetable that is well-known nationwide for its good taste. “Shimizu Issun” Broad Beans from Johoku - Born in Shimizu Town, Matsuyama City. It seems that it was born by repeating mating and selection. It is a large grain, and when you eat it, a slight sweetness spreads in your mouth, and you can enjoy a smooth, powdery taste. From now on, as a variety unique to Ehime prefecture, producers (workers) will continue to grow with love and hope that they will contribute to Japanese agriculture.

【Major features】
It is well known that Ehime Prefecture, which is the production area for agricultural products introduced here, has been cultivating Taro(a root vegetable like a potato that is eaten in Asia and many countries in Africa)since the early Edo period about 400 years ago, but in 2020, the yield per 10a is 1 in Japan. We were proud of the rank (2380 kg). Shikokuchuo City, which is located in the eastern part of the prefecture and is a production center of satomono, is a zone where the “mountain path wind”, which is said to be one of Japan's three major local winds, blows down. It seems that the cultivation of Taro, which grows underground instead of above ground, has become established, and stable production of Taro, Japanese yam, and crop rotation of paddy rice has been established. It seems that Taro has come to be called “Taro” because it is a potato cultivated in a village (sato), as opposed to the Japanese yan that can be harvested in the mountains. The place of origin is from eastern India to the Indochina Peninsula, and I heard that it was introduced to Japan during the Jomon period via China. Before the start of rice cultivation, it seems to have been the staple food of the Japanese people. Currently, there are more than 200 varieties in Japan, including Colocasia esculenta Group: Dodare(It was named because it is cultivated in a village for grow wild dioscorea japonica (natural yam) in the mountains.), Wase Ishikawa(In Osaka, the round shape has a stronger early growth, so seed potatoes are selected, and early delivery by multi-cultivation has started to spread rapidly. “Dodare”, It is a late-maturing variety that is relatively resistant to cold and is widely cultivated in Kinki, Kanto, Hokuriku. etc.), Celebes(Named because the shape and the striped pattern on the surface resemble shrimp(a group of island in eastern Indonesia between Celebes sea(Sulawesi island) and New Guinea). ), Yatsugashira(Described on the same website on December 8, 2021. The origin is that the taros are not divided around the parent taro and are attached to all sides, and it seems that they have many heads), and Taro Ebi(ebi-imo : Without 'tsuchi-yose: ridging', the putting of soil between the stems coming from the parent potatoes and those from the smaller potatoes, the smaller (small-imo) will not part and they will not acquire the basic bent shape of ebi-imo. To produce heavy ebi-imo, it is desirable to have rich, permeable soil and maintain the soil at an appropriate humidity. Because ebi-imo is likely to be damaged by fertilizer, the decision of when to plant should be taken with consideration of the water in the soil, and it is better to do the planting just after a rain when the soil is wet enough. The name comes from the shape of the taro, which is bent due to the weight of soil after repeatedly covering the potatoes with soil, resembling the shape of a shrimp.)”. I heard that the special product “shrimp-shaped taro variety” in miyazaki prefecture is the largest taro in Japan. Unlike ordinary taro, it has a cylindrical shape and is characterized by its large size. The name is that the appearance of the head on the ground is similar to a bamboo shoots. Before, it was called “Taro Taiwan”. I hear that it was introduced from the south in the Meiji era in the Miyazaki prefecture.). Since Taro is rarely eaten overseas, it can be said that it is a Japanese food. For growth, seed potatoes are buried in the soil, and the first large buds are the parent potatoes. The buds that emerge from the parent potatoes grow to the ground and become thick stems, with leaves, and in the soil, child potatoes and grandchildren can be formed side by side. The difference between parent taroes, child tubers, and grandchildren seems to depend on the location and size of the taroes. The child potato is a grown bud that emerges from the side of the parent taroes, and the grandchild potato can be formed next to the child tubers. Generally, the parent taroes is large, and the child tubers and grandchild potato are small and round. It has a peculiar slimy texture and has a unique texture that is sticky but chewy. The characteristic slimy ingredients are glucomannan(It cannot be digested by human digestive enzymes, and it is said to be good for dieting because it absorbs water in the stomach and swells dozens of times. Furthermore, it has been reported that it has an effect of suppressing absorption of sugar and cholesterol, and many studies have demonstrated that it is also effective in improving blood glucose level, cholesterol and triglyceride level in metabolic syndrome.), galactan(This sugar is a combination of unique proteins and has been confirmed to have the effect of lowering blood pressure and removing cholesterol in the blood.), etc., which can be expected to have the effect of enhancing digestion and absorption, activating gastrointestinal function, increasing good bacteria, and improving the intestinal environment. In addition, research results suggest that the abundant vitamin B1 supports the conversion of carbohydrates into energy, and that vitamin B6 strengthens the skin and mucous membranes. Since taro is vulnerable to drying, water management is important, but it seems that it is also an advantage that the water management process is easy because the water supply facilities of paddy fields can be used in the city. The Uma Agricultural Cooperative, which has the city under its jurisdiction, is a specialty product of the Taro brand in collaboration with the production subcommittee and related organizations amid the nationwide decline in the number of farmers, the aging of producers, and sluggish growth in agricultural income. By the end of 2021, it seems that it will be the main production area with about 320 houses of producers by working on the revitalization of agriculture by the conversion. Ehime Prefectural Agricultural Experiment Station is working on development in collaboration with the National Agricultural Cooperative Ehime Prefectural Headquarters, JA Uma, and producers. Redifferentiated individuals were created from 'Wase Onna' from at the laboratory) (from 78 individuals that were created, selected, and raised by performing callus culture on the meat tissue of Taro's newborn tuber, 1998. “H7-O62” was selected as an excellent strain in 2012 and designated as “Taro Ehime No. 1” in 2000. A preliminary survey was conducted for variety registration from 2001 to 2003, and “Ehime Agricultural Test V2” was conducted in 2004. “Ehime Agricultural Test V2” cultivated by strain selection has a good taste, the shape of Taro is round, and the yield is high. February 22).) ” Was developed. In 2006, it was named “Iyo Bijin” because of the producer's desire to eat the white and round Taro born in Ehime and be beautiful from the inside of the body, and it has also been certified as a “loving brand” by the prefecture. Iyo Bijin has a white and delicate meat quality, a bale-shaped roundness and a sticky texture, and it has no habit of taste, so it goes well with any dish and is very popular. Traditional Taro is a vegetable that can be eaten on a happy day as a lucky charm of the prosperity of descendants. This is because Taro grows in seed tubers instead of seeds, with a parent tuber in the center of the plant, a child tuber from there, and a grandchild tuber on the outside, and many child tubers and grandchild tubers can be harvested from one parent tuber. I heard that. Also, how many tubers are taken from one plant is important, but Iyo Bijin is unusual because its grandchildren are round and large, and the yield is high. The Ehime Taro Wide Area Fruit Sorting Plant, which started operation in March 2019, is attended by 4JA (Uma, Ehime Mirai, Syuso, Ochi Imabari) in the Toyo area, which is the main production area of ​​Iyo Bijin. By setting up the same fruit sorting plant with fruit sorting / sorting / packaging functions and direct sales functions as well as potato separation / root cutting functions, we will unify fruit selection standards, correct JA-to-JA disparities, and unify production and sales. It seems that they are aiming to expand the collection. JA staff at the fruit sorting plant handle the loading into the cargo receiving box, and it seems that producers can ship to the fruit sorting plant while riding on the truck. High quality products and excellent products are selected by visual observation, and it seems that eight people will be selected during the busy season. I heard that about 20 employees are assigned to the fruit sorting plant. Let's move on. Kuchinotsu, Minamishimabara City, Fruit Tree Experiment Station, Citrus Club (Kuchinotsu, Minamishimabara): It takes about 15 years to develop and nurture. Friends of Nagasaki Koi(Yearning)Mikan(Mandarin); “Setoka” : It is famous as a tangor that was bred by crossing “Murcott” with kiyomi orange with Angkor No. 2 of the breeding system. A small-nucleus variety with large fruits, soft and juicy, aroma, high sugar content and good taste. Middle-aged Citrus L. matures from January to February. The fruit surface is smooth, the fruit shape is oblate with a high waist, and the skin is orange to dark orange. Thin, easy to peel, with a medium aroma similar to Angkor or Murcott. The flesh is dark orange, the sac is thin, the flesh is soft and juicy, and the number of seeds tends to be small, about 0-5. And it seems that parthenocarpy(Ovary wall and flower bed enlarge and form fruit without fertilization)is strong. The fruiting is good and it is easy to get results every year. Strong tendency to streptomyces spp., Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri. It is Susceptibility against citrus tristeza virus (ctv), and the incidence of stem pitting(Easily propagated by Toxoptera citricida Kirkaldy, and also propagated by cotton aphids at a low rate)is high. Since one ball is heavy, it is necessary to manually support it so that the branches do not break due to its own weight as it grows. Application No. 10852 Date of application 1998/04/09 Date of publication of application 1999/03/18. Registration number 9398 Registration date 2001/10/18. Plant Variety Protection and Seed Act, Act No. 83 of May 29, 1998 : 25 years of breeder's rights ; National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, NARO.Unique sweetness, chewy texture, and wonderful fragrance. Citrus “Three great elements.” The history of Nagasaki mandarin is that in 1780, the Omura feudal lord, “Sumiyasu OHMURA”, the Satsuma feudal “Nagashima mandarin” (Izumi District (former: Azuma Town) Nagashima-cho, Wenshu mandarin), and Ikiriki Village, Nishisonogi District (currently Isahaya). It is said that the cultivation was started by Mr. Yuiemon Tanaka, Mr. Rinemon Tanaka, and Mr. Tsuguemon Nakamichi of the city, formerly Tarami Town, Nishisonogi District. (Citrus Unshiu has heard that the seeds brought back from China by the envoy to Tang China began to bear fruit and were found in Kagoshima. High-quality “Satsuma mandarin” was cultivated from the Ikiriki region, and saplings began to be shipped nationwide, and it is called “Ikiriki-based Satsuma”. In 1876, it seems that oranges were sold by hand in the castle town. In addition, from around 1887, the production area of ​​mandarin oranges was expanded in Ikiriki Village, and even today, the area is the main production area in Nagasaki Prefecture. From 1961, “Act on Special Measures for Promotion of Fruit Tree Agriculture (Government Ordinance No. 145)”, the Nagasaki Prefecture Citrus Promotion Plan was formulated, and the citrus cultivation area increased rapidly throughout the prefecture. Demand for fruit trees in Japan is generally declining and stagnant, and there is a growing tendency for small quantities to be sold as other items and for good quality. Many fruits, including mandarin oranges, are in overproduction. There are increasing demands from other countries to expand imports of fruits and fruit products. In order to achieve sound development, it is necessary to deal with the overproduction trend of fruits. Induce production that responds to trends. Fostering independent fruit tree farmers who can be the core players in the production area. And it is necessary to further strengthen the constitution of fruit tree agriculture. The system for promoting fruit tree agriculture was strengthened(Partial amendment of Law No. 15, July 1, 1985). From NARO, the fruit of Setoka is a large fruit of 200 to 280 g, the fruit surface is smooth, and the fruit shape is oblate with a high waist. The pericarp is orange to dark orange, thin and easy to peel. It has a medium aroma similar to that of Angkor or Murcott, and has a good taste with a ripening period of February and a sugar content of 12 to 13%. The flesh is dark orange, the sac is thin, the flesh is soft and juicy, and the number of seeds is small at about 0-5. It is also characterized by its strong parthenocarpy. The tree is medium to slightly weak, and the tree is medium to open. The fruiting is good and the results are planned every year. It is strong against Elsinoë fawcettii(Wart-shaped or scab-shaped lesions on leaves, fruits, and branches. Citrus unshiu is weak and rarely occurs in midnight citrus, but lemon is weak. Wart-type lesions occur by the middle stage of spring leaf elongation, and lesions occur even after the end of elongation. Wart-type lesions form up to 1 cm in diameter in fruits, and lesions form above that.), Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri(Occurs on leaves, green branches and fruits. The lesions on the spring leaves are initially round, pale yellow, and water-soaked spots, which later expand to cork in the central part and become rough, and the circumference 0.5 mm width is water-soaked and further around. Produces a fairly wide yellow halo. The lesions on the back of the leaves are also corked and rough, but it seems to be a light brown raised scab. In summer and autumn leaves, citrus leaf miner often invades through wounds such as feeding damage and wind sway, so it seems that lesions generally tend to form along the wound. The petioles are also easily affected and the leaves fall violently. On the fruits and green branches, water-soaked dark green lesions are formed at first, and then they become cork and become light brown raised scabs. Overwintering lesions on leaves and branches are the primary source of transmission, but lesions on treetops in summer and autumn are especially important. In addition, in Spring cankers infected at relatively low temperatures in autumn, the amount of pathogenic bacteria released is even higher than in the lesions of summer-autumn treetops, making it more important as a source of transmission. The leaves are infected with stomata from the new leaf development stage to the growth arrest stage, and then when the tissue hardens, it is infected from the wound caused by the wind and the feeding damage scars of Phyllocnistis citrella. The main infection period for spring leaves is from early May to mid-June. Following the infection of spring leaves, it seems that the infection is repeated to spring branches and summer and autumn treetops. Infection of fruits is from immediately after flower fall to late September, mainly by secondary infection from leaves. Winds and rains accompanied by strong winds with wind speeds of 6 to 8 m or more, especially typhoons in summer, are the most important factors that promote the onset of disease. There is a difference in resistance depending on the type of citrus, and I heard that Satsuma mandarin is moderate.), is susceptible to citrus tristeza virus (CTV), and seems to have a high incidence of stem pitting. As an aside, the mid-late citrus “Setoka” seems to produce a certain amount of softened fruits with low sugar and high acidity, mainly in greenhouse cultivation. Greenhouse-grown “Setoka” is often sold as a high-class fruit in units of one, and it seems that such low-quality fruits may rarely be subject to complaints from consumers. The quality of softened fruits during the harvest period is slightly smaller than that of normal fruits, the skin color is yellow, and the skin is thin. It seems that the fruit surface is smooth and the fruit is soft. Brix in fruit juice is about 30% lower than normal fruit, and acid seems to be about 40% higher. Fruits two months before harvest, which is the coloring period, tend to be late in coloring. Regarding the details of the components in fruit juice, fructose, glucose, and sucrose that make up sugar are all low, and sucrose, which is the main sugar, is about 70% lower. In addition, the content of almost all amino acids composed is low, and the total amount of all amino acids seems to be about 30% lower. The incidence rate by fruit set site is particularly high in the inside, and it seems that it is estimated to be about 12%. The incidence of other parts is 1 to 4%, and it seems to be about 3% on average. In the fruit of softening disease, the photosynthetic product made from the leaves did not transfer from the fruit stalk (fruit axis) to the fruit by the experiment using the stable isotope of carbon, and the phloem (fruit axis) by microscopic observation. It has been confirmed that callose (β-1, 3-glucan), which is a kind of polysaccharide, is accumulated in the phloem in the fruit stalk). It seems that callose blocks the phloem and inhibits the translocation of photosynthetic products to the fruit, leading to quality deterioration. It seems that the methods to prevent the shipment of softened fruits are to remove the inner fruits as much as possible at the time of fruit picking and to pick small fruits that are late in coloring during the coloring period about 2 months before harvesting. In addition, it seems that fruits that are slightly softened by small balls that are yellowish compared to fruits with a normal appearance are excluded at the time of harvesting or home sorting. If a joint fruit sorting plant with an optical sensor is available, it seems effective to eliminate fruits with low sugar content. Consumers should choose a uniform color, a smooth surface, a glossy surface, and a bluish tint on the calyx. Also, the ones that feel heavy when you hold them are delicious with a lot of juice. The shape may be more delicious if it is flat than if it is tall. JA is a nickname for agricultural cooperatives. The symbol mark is a design that combines the green alphabets J and A, and seems to represent the image of a solid earth and a bond between people. JA is a cooperative organized for the purpose of protecting and enhancing farmers' farming and livelihoods and building a better society in the spirit of mutual aid (the spirit of people's solidarity and mutual help). It is an organization established by gathering people (union members) and sharing money (investment). JA provides agricultural management / technical guidance and lifestyle advice, as well as joint purchase of production materials / living materials, joint sales of agricultural and livestock products, acceptance of savings, lending of agricultural production funds and living funds, and necessary for agricultural production and living. It seems that they are engaged in various businesses and activities such as setting up shared facilities and mutual aid in case of emergency. Furthermore, it seems that they are engaged in activities to strengthen ties with the local community, such as welfare activities for the elderly, farming experience learning for children, and farmers' markets. It seems that JA's membership qualifications include regular members (farmers) and associate members. For this reason, I heard that even non-farmers can obtain membership qualifications as associate members and use various businesses if they pay the investment according to the enrollment procedure stipulated by each JA. The citrus fruits that bloom and bear fruit in the steep hills of the warm southwestern Shikoku, where typhoons hit, are the result of strong family farming. The goal of the mechanism to support it was the postwar specialized agricultural cooperative. As of 2016, the agricultural working population of farm household members was 1.92 million, falling below 2 million for the first time due to the progress of farmers leaving the farm, and it is said that it has decreased to nearly half compared to 20 years ago. On the other hand, the number of farm households with employers (regular employees) has increased 1.9 times compared to 10 years ago, and it seems that the composition of the labor force in the farm households has changed from household members to employers. In addition, the number of agricultural enterprises such as agricultural cooperative corporations is increasing year by year, and the number of employees in agriculture as a whole has increased 1.7 times in the last 10 years and exceeded 200,000 in 2015. Although agriculture is becoming more mechanized these days, it is becoming difficult for so-called farmers alone to maintain agricultural production, and it seems that employers have become a valuable force and leader in supporting Japanese agriculture. However, due to the declining population and the declining birthrate and aging population, it is becoming more difficult to secure human resources year by year, and the ratio of job offers to applicants in the agricultural sector has exceeded the average for all industries. To reflect these effects, it seems that the number of employees in 2017 has fallen below the previous year's level, contrary to the recent growth rate. Based on the fact that the actual situation of agriculture that has not been able to secure the necessary human resources has been highlighted, it is said that agricultural organizations and local governments are focusing their wisdom to secure stable human resources in order to break through this situation. As the agricultural working population declines, employers are said to be a valuable force to support Japanese agriculture. In the production areas, it seems that JAs with different farming seasons are building a cooperative system to deal with issues such as securing year-round work for employees and temporary labor force during the farming season. Efforts are continuing in each production area, such as JA Nishiuwa, to secure a labor force by utilizing diverse human resources including foreign human resources. In addition to the alliance with JA Koshimizu (head office location: Koshimizu, Koshimizu Town, Shari District, Hokkaido), JA Nishiuwa has two production areas with different farming seasons, Furano Agricultural Cooperative, and Okinawa Prefecture Agriculture as one of the efforts to secure a labor force. In cooperation with the cooperative, it seems that they are working on mutual introduction and information sharing of farmers (albiters, helpers, workers). For the production area, it leads to the stable securing of work skills and highly conscious human resources, and for the farmers, it seems that it is an initiative that is beneficial to both sides, such as reducing the labor of searching for the next job and the burden of hiring. When accepting farmers, I hear that improving the working environment by improving the working environment, such as securing accommodations and improving the acceptance system based on communication with farmers, has led to securing repeaters. By securing supporters in collaboration with other production areas, we will eliminate the labor-intensive mandarin orange harvesting work and the aging of producers. JA Nishiuwa covers parts of Ikata Town, Yawatahama City, and Seiyo City, Ehime Prefecture, and has a total area of ​​26km2, with a cultivation rate of approximately 20.2%, and 95.8% of the total cultivated land, centered on Satsuma mandarin and 中晩柑; Medium late-ripening citrus. It seems that fruit trees are being cultivated. Within the jurisdiction, it has one of the leading brands of Citrus unshiu, such as Nishiuwa mandarin and Maana mandarin, and is a leader in the citrus kingdom of Ehime prefecture, producing about half of the Citrus unshiu mandarin in Ehime prefecture as a whole. Due to the extremely high weight of the citrus sector, the busy season of agricultural work in the jurisdiction peaks from November to December when the harvest of Satsuma mandarin begins, and continues until the beginning of April when the harvest of midnight citrus ends. According to JA Nishiuwa, among the cultivation of these citrus fruits, labor saving by sprinklers is progressing for management work, but for harvesting, it is necessary to determine the optimum harvest time and handle the fruits carefully, so we have to rely on human power. It seems that it will not be obtained and will be a bottleneck for expansion. As of 2014, the age composition of farmers in the jurisdiction exceeded 60%, and the number of farm households was 579 houses between 2006 and 2015, with an average annual decline of over 60 households. In addition, relatives and local acquaintances who came to help with the harvest are also aging, and it seems that it is becoming more difficult to secure a labor force during the harvest season. JA Nishiuwa seems to have begun to secure a labor force during the farming season from an early stage due to the sense of crisis that it will be difficult to maintain the production area if the labor force continues to decline. Since 1994, it seems that it has been conducting a “mandarin orange arbiter recruitment project” that recruits mandarin orange arbiters from all over the country and engages in harvesting work for about 40 to 50 days during the farming season. Furthermore, in 2014, we launched the “Nishiuwa Mikan Support Team” consisting of prefectures, municipalities, agricultural committees, and jurisdictions, providing information to applicants and providing comprehensive support for farming and farming. It seems that the parties concerned are working together to secure a labor force during the farming season and to secure, train, and retain the leaders. Also, in 2015, it is said that the accommodation facility Mandarin will be in place. The number of employees employed by the mandarin orange arbiter business mentioned above has increased year by year from 32 in 1994 and has increased to 287 in 2018, but it seems that the number has not yet reached the number requested by producers. In order to secure more arbiters, we interviewed arbiters from all over the country, such as "where did you work before" and “where will you go after this?” It seems that they have been actively recruiting in other production areas, such as going directly to the city to distribute and post leaflets and hold recruitment briefings. In the jurisdiction, we do not think of arbiters as a mere labor force, but to have them revitalize the region by interacting with producers and the region, to let them know the charm of Ehime, and to become a fan of Nishiuwa oranges. Was the purpose from the beginning. It seems that this attitude is pervading each producer on the receiving side, which leads to the enrichment of local life for arbiters and is one of the attractions other than wages. From April 2019, it seems that the movement regarding the utilization of foreign human resources has reached a major turning point. The amendment to the Immigration Control and Refuge Law has created new status of residence for foreigners in 14 industrial fields where labor shortages are becoming more serious, making it possible to accept foreigners as workers. In the agricultural sector, the government seems to have expected to accept up to 36,000 people in five years. Under this system, there is no limit to the number of people that can be accepted per business establishment, the range of work that can be engaged is expanded, and employment in the form of dispatch is also permitted. In addition, it is possible to change jobs, and it seems that foreigners who are hired have a higher degree of freedom in working styles than the technical intern training system. Some have been considering accepting it from the previous year, and it was expected that it would start accepting it by the end of the year, but it seems uncertain that the path is unclear due to the corona virus around the world. Now, let me introduce a little about the wonderful jurisdiction (production area). “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. “Ikata Town, Nishiuwa District”, Located on the Sadamisaki Peninsula, the westernmost tip of Shikoku. The Uwa Sea side in the south forms a coast with gentle white sand, and the Seto Inland Sea side in the north forms a ria coast. People's lives are alive in beautiful nature. Known as a hometown blessed with a warm oceanic climate with an annual average temperature of 16 ° C. In order to inherit and nurture this hometown full of warm humanity and pass it on to tomorrow, each of us strives to create a city full of vitality and moisture. The towns of Nishiuwa District (Ikata, Seto, Misaki) merged on April 1, 2005. It is famous as a city of primary industries, mainly agriculture and fisheries. Mandarin oranges and other sweet potatoes are cultivated in terraced fields of masonry inherited from predecessors on steep lands and fields carved out on steep mountain slopes. Lively fish such as horse mackerel and mackerel are landed throughout the year. In the Uwakai, it is said that “dried young sardines fishing” by drift nets is actively carried out.etc. “Seiyo City, Ehime Prefecture”, Located in the southern part of the prefecture. Beautiful mountains covered with lush greenery and the deep blue sea are eye-catching. It is famous as a city with a variety of nature in the vast land.In Old town, industry and human exchange have been actively carried out while sharing the soil of culture.It is a geographically blessed area from 0m to 1400 m above sea level, with a total area of ​​514.34 km2. Forests account for 75% of the total.It has a vast area even in the prefecture, and it ranges from traditional cultural characteristics to industrial characteristics in proportion to the area. I admire the unique and diverse culture. Many cultural heritages such as historic buildings and burial mounds remain in each region. Folk performing arts and traditional events are preserved and handed down. Ehime tea chest mandarin oranges JA Nishiuwa's mandarin orange. There are several fruit sorting plants in the jurisdiction. We also handle oranges with their own characteristics. In Yawatahama City, the Hinomaru co-selection in the Mukainada area and the Maana co-selection in the Maajiro area (Maajiro area and Anai area). Kawakami co-selection in Kawakami Town. Hachikyo co-selection consisting of four districts: Mikame Fruit Sorting Center in Mikame Town, Seiyo City, Yawatahama Co-selection (joint fruit sorting plant), Yanozaki, Senjo, Futaiwa, and Kamiyama. The fruit sorting fields of Yawatahama, Hachikyo, and Hinomaru are in the same place. The co-selection of Mitsuru in Honai Town, Yawatahama City includes “Mitsuru”, which is famous for its black boxes, and mandarin oranges in tea chests. It seems that it was called Honai co-election before. Isozu citrus co-selection, Ikata Town, Nishiuwa District, Minatoura, Ikata Town, Nishiuwa District, Futanazu, Misaki co-selection, other than the above marks If you see just a circle and the letters “Maruwa - ○和”, it's the mark of Nishiuwa.

Tangor Norin No. 8 (citrus fatty mikan), which consumers love and never stop, is on the market from December to April, but its peak is from February to March. The most popular ones are around March, and until around February, house-grown ones are often found in the market. The rich and juicy taste and the scent of fresh orange stimulate the five sense organs peculiar to human beings and attract fans.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Statistics, 14 major fruit trees produced in Japan are surveyed. There is. In addition, citrus fruits with medium late-ripening citrus (including e.g. pomelo: Setoka mandarin orange) added to this Unshu mandarin are famous as the best domestic fruit trees in Japan. In addition, it is one of the top class in Japan in terms of many factors such as the yield of citrus fruits, the number of varieties, and the amount of output, and it has a system that can supply high quality fruits throughout the year, so it surpasses other prefectures in its comprehensive strength. It is a “citrus kingdom”.

The pericarp is soft and can be easily peeled by hand. The endothelium is also soft.  Moreover, there are few seeds. There is little worry of accidentally swallowing seeds, so you can enjoy it regardless of age or gender. It would be even better to make a smile cut (cut into eight) peculiar to citrus fruits. Put a knife horizontally on the setoka mandarin orange, cut it in half, and then divide each into four equal parts. The cut part is easy to peel, so please peel it off and enjoy yourself.

In the Yatsushiro area, winter-spring tomatoes were designated as designated production areas in 1966, and summer-autumn tomatoes were designated as designated production areas in 1978, and the shipment volume of tomatoes by municipality was the highest in Japan. Spring tomatoes have been cultivated for a long time, but modernization of facility cultivation has made it possible to accelerate the planting time, and it seems that the production of winter tomatoes has exceeded the production of spring tomatoes since around 1970. The history of tomato production in the Yatsushiro area seems to have started around 1953. The JA Gunchiku Horticultural Club was established around 1961. It is a historic subcommittee that has been leading the production of tomatoes in Kumamoto, and is still developing. Tomatoes are loved all over the world as nutritious vegetables and are one of the excellent vegetables that are indispensable to the table. In Japan, along with the westernization of food after the war, cultivation technology has developed and breeding has progressed, resulting in a large increase in consumption. The acreage and shipment volume increased along with the large-scale consumption, and the designated production area in 2020 was the core supply production area, which accounted for 51% of the nationwide acreage and 65% of the nationwide shipment volume. From winter to spring, production areas such as Kumamoto, Tochigi, and Aichi prefectures are famous. For half a century, the Yatsushiro area of ​​Kumamoto Prefecture has become the number one tomato kernel supply base in Japan by expanding the introduction of facility horticultural greenhouses, improving cultivation techniques, and improving fruit sorting plants while utilizing the vegetable price stabilization system. Is making an effort in Japanese agriculture. Approximately 80% of shipments utilize the vegetable price stabilization system, and while there are issues such as aging, labor shortages, and increased costs such as labor costs and transportation costs, the vegetable price stabilization system addresses price fluctuation risks. At the same time, we are promoting initiatives such as acquiring GAP, measuring and selling the functional ingredient lycopene: C40H56, introducing environmental control technology, and strengthening the acceptance system for foreign skill trainees, aiming for a production area of ​​choice for consumers and actual consumers.

It is said that about 502 years ago, Iwasaki Shimenokami TADAHISA-Ko of Yatsushiro's Agetsuchi lord of a castle encouraged rush cultivation in the territory. The Iwasaki Shrine, which enshrines Prince Iwasaki, was built on the ruins of the castle, and seems to be gathering the worship of local residents. Most of the Yatsushiro Plain is reclaimed land and is blessed with water, so the area is known all over the world as Japan's number one rush producing area. For a while, the production volume decreased significantly due to the influence of cheap Juncus decipiens produced in foreign countries, but while Japanese culture is being reviewed again, we are working on breeding and developing new rush products to create a new living space. It seems that food development based on utilization and health consciousness is being actively carried out. Products using rush are used not only for cushions, coasters, bags, Japanese traditional paper, but also for interiors and foods, and it seems that the range of utilization is expanding greatly as a special product of the Yatsushiro area. However, in 1997, the rush crash occurred. It seems that some people had difficulty in rebuilding their business due to the disappearance of Japanese straw floor covering from Japanese greenhouses and the drastic decrease in demand, and the large amount of Juncus from China. Don't forget those who have experienced the hellish suffering of the workers. Around 2000, at the Totsurazawa site in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture (around 300-400 AD), indentations of textile woven with wild grass like rush were found from the bottom of Jomon pottery, and unglazed earthenware was discovered. There is an example.

【Major features】
The brand “Hachibee Tomato(Separately, tomatoes that are cultivated in soil rich in salt and minerals peculiar to the reclaimed land peculiar to the Yatsushiro area and have the characteristics of high sugar content, small balls and hard skin are salted tomatoes (trade name: “Sun child” and “salt”. It is branded as “Salt Jiro”), and the sugar content of 8 degrees or more is named “Celebrity” and the sugar content of 10 degrees or more is named “Royal Celebrity”. In addition, non-standard tomatoes are used for processing dried tomatoes, tomato ketchup, tomato juice, and the like.)” produced by the JA, “Juncus decipiens”, the raw material for Japanese straw floor covering, and Citrus maxima 'Banpeiyu’, which is registered as Guinness as the world's largest citrus fruit, boast the highest production in Japan. In addition, facility gardening such as strawberries and melons, “outdoor vegetables” containing a lot of minerals in reclaimed land, “ginger” which is one of the leading production areas in Japan, and “Yoshino Pear” (Kumamoto prefecture), which has the oldest history in the prefecture. It is also famous as the “birthplace of pears.” In 1904, Mr. Kumasaburo YAMADA planted 100 pear seedlings near the former Yoshino Village Hotta (currently Yatsushiro District), and in June 2004. Is holding a grand commemorative ceremony to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Yoshino pear planting.)  And other agricultural products are being shipped to various parts of the country with passion and affection by producers. The JA's agricultural products are both delicious and safe. Toyo Town (Masonry Village), which is the main production area for ginger cultivation in the Yatsushiro area, is located in the central and southern part of Kumamoto Prefecture, between the Yatsushiro Plain and the Kyushu Mountains, about 40 km from Kumamoto City. The climate is relatively warm and rainy with an average annual temperature of 15.3 degrees Celsius and an annual rainfall of 2,437 mm, with an average annual temperature of 15.15 km, north-south 15.27 km, and a total area of ​​64.56 km2. In the same production area, there are not many fields with large-scale infrastructure development, and the main planting is in small fields peculiar to mountainous areas, and it seems that the average area per field is 350 m2 or less. The ginger field that spreads out in the valley-shaped stepped fields has been selected as one of the 100 best terraced rice fields in some areas, but due to the slope, cultivation management is centered on small machines and manual work, and the land conditions are inefficient as a field. It seems that it is. In the area, cultivation began in some areas as a seed ginger producing area from the end of the Taisho era, but with the rice production adjustment in 1970, the cultivation using paddy fields increased sharply, and the ginger producing area became. It was formed and now seems to be a specialty of the town, which accounts for about 40% of the prefecture's shipments. Every year on the 4th Sunday of October, a ginger festival is held to announce the harvesting work of ginger, along with a fair to determine the crops. This festival has been held 37 times this year, and it has become a big event for the whole town, where more than 30,000 people from all over the country gather. It seems that the original culture strain has been introduced as the most important seed in ginger production. Currently, it is growing, and it seems that it is working hard to improve quality and yield by breeding varieties with high productivity and storability and selecting excellent lines. As a measure for irrigation in the summer, which has a large impact on yield, the order and time of use of water sources, valley springs, water tanks, etc. secured by boring, usage fees, etc. are allocated to each district, and arrangements are made to ensure smooth watering work. Seems to be. As a measure for soil preparation, soil analysis is carried out every year, and farming cooperation with other areas is carried out while performing appropriate fertilization. I hear that they are enforcing the management of tolerable soil. In terms of disease control, Pythium myriotylum Drechsler (P. zinziberis Takahashi), which causes the most serious damage to ginger diseases, overwinters mainly in the form of follicles with damaged tissues, is transmitted to the soil, and is a species caused by diseased tubers. It seems that tuber transmission is also performed. Secondary transmission is caused by zooloculants released from the bacterial cells into the water, so it seems that it may occur frequently when the field is flooded. It is infected when the soil temperature is 15 to 20 ° C or higher, 5 After the end of the month, the number of occurrences tends to increase when there is a lot of rainfall. The first occurrence in a normal year is in the middle of June, but it seems that the first occurrence will be earlier in a year when the soil temperature is high.)  In the past (1969-1971), it was heard that torrential rain and humid conditions followed by Pythium myriotylum Drechsler (P. zinziberis Takahashi), which caused catastrophic damage to the survival of the production area. As a result of investigating this factor, the dumping of the diseased ginger into the river was considered to be one of the causes of the spread of the disease. It seems that the water source has been secured and the disease-free bacteria have been irrigated. Furthermore, it seems that thorough preventive management is being carried out, such as introducing soil disinfection technology, changing work shoes for each field when entering ginger fields, and replacing disinfection greenhoses. Well, as a drainage measure in the field, it seems that it is secured so that drainage can be done by thoroughly implementing drainage measures before planting and enhancing drainage in small grooves at small intervals. In recent years, as a measure against pests, moth-proof lights have been installed to reduce the chemical control of night moths, which are the main pests, and it seems that safer and more secure ginger is being produced. As of 2009, in the Asian market, where high growth has continued, demand for high-end Japanese foodstuffs and Japanese food has increased significantly due to the emergence of the wealthy and middle class. In addition to the WTO accession of China and Taiwan in Asia, the EPA: Economic Partnership Agreement between Japan and Asian countries (elimination and reduction of tariffs on goods between two or more countries / regions, improvement of investment environment, etc. The fact that trade liberalization is accelerating, such as the establishment of a series of agreements that establish common rules for the protection of intellectual property rights and strengthen economic ties, is also a tailwind for expanding agricultural exports. It was. Kumamoto Prefecture, which is located in central Kyushu, is geographically close to Asia and is in a favorable environment in terms of logistics. It still remains an important issue in the development of agriculture. The JA, which is located in the Yatsushiro area of ​​Kumamoto prefecture, aims to provide more delicious, safer and more secure agricultural products with NEC (established by NEC Corporation on July 17, 1899) and NEPON Inc. (6, 1948). Introduced “Agricultural ICT Cloud Service” jointly developed by (established on 9th of March) from 2012 to 2013. The situation of the field, which was previously unknown without visiting the site, can be monitored in real time through sensors and smartphones installed in the house. In addition to helping to maintain the optimum environment, it is also used as a management platform for strictly complying with the pesticide use regulations stipulated by law. The result is that the temperature of the field and the amount of carbon dioxide are monitored in real time through sensors in the greenhouse and smartphones and tablet terminals. In addition to helping to maintain the optimum environment, it also suppresses risks such as abnormal temperatures. If you enter the sprayed pesticide into the system, the cumulative spray amount for each ingredient will be calculated automatically. Supports stricter management by raising alerts such as reversing colors just before reaching the specified amount. By analyzing the accumulated data, know-how can be extracted as objective data. It seems that he was able to grasp the tendency to produce good results and use it for future farming guidance.(The agricultural ICT cloud service collects and stores the temperature / humidity of the field, the amount of sunshine, the amount of carbon dioxide, etc. in the cloud through sensors installed in the house, and realizes remote monitoring. If you set a threshold value for temperature etc., it is possible to ring the smartphone and issue an alarm when there is an abnormality. Respond quickly to troubles and avoid damage.)Yatsushiro Specialty Banpeiyu : Registration No. 94, Registration Date March 30, 2020, Registration Application No. 201, Registration Application Date, March 29, 2019, Registered Producer Name of organization, Yatsushiro GI Brand Promotion Council, Address of registered producer organization, Furushiro Town, Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto, Name of representative of registered producer organization, Chairman Mr. Yoshihisa Hayashida. Address of website of registered producer organization, Classification of Specified Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, etc. Class 1 Agricultural Products Fruits (citrus decumana), Names of Specified Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Yatsushiro Specialty citrus decumana, Yatsushiro Specialty Banpeiyu, Production Area of ​​Specified Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Kumamoto Prefecture Yatsushiro City, Furushiro Town, Yatsushiro District, Kumamoto Prefecture, Characteristics of specified agriculture, forestry and fishery products, etc. The average shipping size is about 20 cm in width. Some of them weigh more than 4 kg when they become large, and in 2005, they were certified as the Guinness World Records as the world's heaviest in the citrus pomelo category. In addition, a coloring standard is set at the time of shipment, and as the maturity progresses, a refreshing citrus aroma spreads from the epidermis, and it seems that the taste is excellent with moderate sweetness and refreshing acidity. Due to its size and good taste, “Yatsushiro specialty citrus decumana” has long been popular as a fruit in the Yatsushiro region, which represents winter, and is now highly regarded by the market as a specialty product and as a gift such as year-end gifts. It has been exported to Hong Kong since 2014 and seems to be used as a gift for the Chinese New Year. Production method of specified agriculture, forestry and fishery products (1) Cultivation method: Banpeiyu is used for varieties (a) Artificial pruning is performed during the flowering period to promote fruit set and enlargement (b) Promotion of fruit enlargement (C) Pruning and bagging to improve the appearance. For shipping, it is assumed that the width is 15 cm or more and the actual color is almost complete. However, if the damage caused by scratches or pests exceeds 1/2, it will be used for processed products. Shipping form as a final product: The shipping form of “Yatsushiro specialty citrus decumana” as a final product is fruits and vegetables (citrus decumana). : The Yatsushiro area has abundant soil and abundant water brought by the Kuma River and Hikawa, and is a fertile and well-drained soil. It faces the Yatsushiro Sea and has a warm climate with long sunshine hours. It seems that it is suitable for the production of pomelo because the dew is removed by the sea breeze and it is difficult for frost to fall. In the Yatsushiro area, Yatsushiro Zabon has been cultivated as a garden tree since the 17th century, and there has been cultivation technology for pomelo since ancient times. Therefore, it seems that the technology and management method necessary for large ball production and artificial pollination, fruit thinning, pruning, and bagging for quality improvement permeated the area, and it was established as a production center of Banpeiyu together with geographical factors. In 1965, along with establishing the current shipping standards, it seems that it has been working on quality improvement and regional brand products by using the name “Yatsushiro specialty citrus decumana”. The track record of producing specified agricultural, forestry and fishery products in the production area, the place of origin is Polynesia and Malaysia, and it was introduced to Japan in 1930. It was called citrus decumana because it was later than Banpeiyu cultivated in Taiwan. After introducing it to Japan, it was difficult to find a suitable place for cultivation, but it seems that it was planted in the Yatsushiro area in 1951 and confirmed to be a suitable place. The characteristics of citrus decumana were announced at the Kumamoto Prefecture Citrus Festival in the 1955s, and it seems that planting has increased. In 1965, the Banpeiyu Subcommittee of the Yatsushiro Fruit Agricultural Cooperative Association was established, and the current shipping standards were set. In addition, it seems that cultivation spread rapidly with the donation to His Majesty the Emperor. It was decided as a recommended variety in the prefecture in 1975, and it seems that it has become established as a specialty citrus in the Yatsushiro area as the area increases. It is often used for local events, and it is also useful as a gift such as year-end gifts, and it seems that it has been evaluated by market participants and consumers. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in 2015, about 90% of the national production is produced in the Yatsushiro area, and it is said that the shipment volume in 2018 is 800 tons.  Applicability of Article 13, Paragraph 1, Item 4 (b) of the Act Not applicable. In 1920, it is reported that the high-quality fruit variety “Banpeiyu” was imported from the Malay Peninsula, where it originated, to Taiwan by Mr. Yaichi Shimada, a botanist from Kumamoto Prefecture who was working for the Government-General of Taiwan at that time. Fifteen years later, in 1935, by courtesy of Mr. Shimada, as a result of making a prototype at the Kumamoto Prefectural Fruit Experiment Station, it seems that it was found to be suitable for the climate of Kumamoto, especially the Yatsushiro region. Currently, as one of the recommended citrus varieties in Kumamoto Prefecture, the fruit has a high commercial value and is donated to the development of regional agriculture so that it is encouraged only in the Yatsushiro region. “Yatsushiro City”, Kumamoto Prefecture : It is located about 40 km south of Kumamoto City, the prefecture's capital. It has an area of ​​about 50 km from east to west, about 30 km from north to south, and an area of ​​about 680 km2. The west faces Yatsushiro Sea, and the north is Yatsushiro District, Uki, Kamimashiki, and Shimomashiki. It borders Higashiusuki District in the east and Kuma District and Ashikita District in the south. It is divided into mountainous areas and plains by the “Hinagu fault scarp”.(It is estimated that the latest activity period for the Kouya-Shirahata section is after about 1,600 years ago and before about 1,200 years ago. The average activity interval is unknown, and it is possible that the amount of deviation during activity was about 2 m, mainly due to right lateral deviation. In the Hinagu section, the average activity interval may be about 36 million years to 11,000 years. New The activity period is estimated to be after about 8400 years ago and before about 2,000 years ago. Dislocation It seems that there was a relative uplift of about 3 m on the southeast side and a lateral shift to the right beyond that. It is possible that the Yatsushiro Sea section was active at intervals of about 11,100 to 6,400 years on average. New The activity period is estimated to be after about 1,700 years ago and before about 900 years ago. There is a possibility of the Higo earthquake in 744 AD. It is estimated that there was a deviation of about 3 m during the activity, but the direction of the deviation is unknown.etc.)About 70% of the total area is mountainous and about 30% is plain. In the mountainous area, Kunimi-peak (1,739 m) in Izumi town is the highest peak and forms the backbone area of ​​the Kyushu Mountains. Examples of the hiding villages of the Heike no Ochiudo include Gokanosho in Kumamoto Prefecture and Gokayama in Toyama Prefecture. The city is dazzling with its history and natural scenery. The plains are rich in land formed by the Kumagawa River, one of Japan's three rapids, and the Hikawa River system. An alluvial plain centered on alluvial fans and deltas. In addition, it has a vast plain that has been reclaimed for many years. Utilizing these abundant resources, many agricultural products such as rush(Juncus effusus L. var. decipens Buchen.)and tomato are produced. In addition to the blessed natural conditions, the construction of seaside industrial land and the enhancement of port facilities were planned, and factories of large companies entered the market from early on. It is in the middle of developing as one of the prefecture's leading industrial cities. Developed Yatsushiro Port, the largest international trading port in the prefecture as an Asia logistics base. It is a key point for land and sea transportation. It is famous as an area with abundant nature, resources, and a high base of transportation. Kumamoto Prefecture faces the sea on the west side, and the rest of the mountains are lined up, so the climate varies from region to region. Around the Kumamoto Plain, summer is hot and winter is cold inland. At dusk in Summer, a phenomenon called “Higo evening calm” occurs, in which the area becomes calm. The Amakusa region has an oceanic climate, and the coastal area is famous as the northernmost point of coral reefs. There is a basin in the Kuma region in the south, and it seems that summers are hot and winters are cold. The Aso region surrounded by Asogairin mountain has a mountainous climate, and it is relatively cool in summer. In winter, the temperature drops to below freezing, and it seems that snow can be seen. Precipitation is high in Kuma and Aso, especially near Mt. Aso, reaching more than that in a year. This abundant rain brings water sources to various parts of the prefecture and provides vitality to moisturize the fields and people. In Prefecture, heavy rains occur during the rainy season, and heavy and torrential rains are likely to occur due to the hot and humid southwestern air currents coming from the East China Sea. About two-thirds of the Yatsushiro coastal area seems to be reclaimed new land. In this area, small rivers such as the Kuma River, Hi River, and Sunagawa, which are one of the three major rapids in Japan, pour into the Shiranui Sea. It seems that it is. It was when Kiyomasa Kato, who is famous as a warlord and a civilian, came to Higo as a nation, and even if the feudal lord replaced Mr. Hosokawa, he married Yatsushiro chamberlain Matsui. There is also a military significance as an avant-garde base for Mr. Shimazu of the Satsuma domain, and since he was given the right to reclaim the area near the mouth of the Kuma River, it seems that there are many new areas from the vicinity of the former Yatsushiro town to Hinagu town. In particular, the clan seems to have planned to develop a large new land in the three counties of Yatsushiro, Shimomashiki, and Uto as a remedy for the clan's financial tightness during the period of culture and civil affairs. At that time, Mr. Ryohei Kanokogi, who was appointed as Nozu Tenagaso village headman (Ryuhoku Town, “Kagami Town”, etc.), is still famous for opening 400 towns and 700 towns. It is a village shrine in the modern shrine. The deity is Kiyomasa KATO-Ko. If you worship, you can get a red stamp. Benefits include family safety, business success, civil engineering and construction, and both Bunbu and Budo. Kagami Town, Yatsushiro City is a land opened by reclamation, with about 80% of the total area reclaimed from the sea. It is said that the reclamation work near Kagami Town began around 1688-1704 under the Kumamoto feudal lord Hosokawa in the Edo period. It seems that Mr. Taira prayed to the Holy Spirit of Kiyomasa-Ko as a pioneer of civil engineering work and newly reclaimed rice field development when he approached the construction. And with his son Mr. Kennosuke and others, it is reported locally that he succeeded in three major reclamation works of 100 towns, 400 towns, and 700 towns from 1805 to 1822. In 1822, after the construction was completed, he solicited a spirit from the Jyoike Mausoleum of Honmyoji Temple, which enshrines Kiyomasa-Ko, and built a temple as a guardian deity of a new area in order to reward the blessing of Kiyomasa. Known by the name of “Seishoko”, it was originally a shrine temple for both Shinto and Buddhism, but in 1870, it was changed to a Shinto festival by Ordinance Distinguishing Shinto and Buddhism, and it seems that it was lined up at the village shrine. The Jyoike Mausoleum was also changed to a Shinto shrine in the Meiji era, and seems to be the current Kato Shrine in Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City. He was mourned for his virtues and is now enshrined at Bunsei Shrine in Kagami Town, Yatsushiro. It is said that the tombs of the father and son of Kanokogi Ryohei and Kennosuke remain as historic sites in Kagami Town. The annual festival is September 24th, which is the annual autumn festival. Higo big shinto music : Large grand kagura performance at Ise, Shinko-shiki procession, Shinme, shrine maiden dance, etc. are dedicated, and in recent years, it seems that local children have held portable shrines and judo competitions. In addition, it seems that various structures using rush, a special product dedicated from each district, will appear. In addition, there are festivals on February 24th and July 24th, and it seems to be crowded with stalls. Also, on January 15th every year, it seems that a porridge ritual is held to tell the story of the crops of the year. I heard that there are Kaizu Shrine (Ichikishimahimejin) and Wago Shrine (Watatsumi Ogami) in the precincts. Currently, road approaching a shrine is a roadway commonly known as “Baba street”, but it seems that the large entrance gate, which was built across the road in the Taisho era, retains its remnants. Most of them have been knocked down by several typhoons in recent years, but it seems that large ginko also shows beautiful autumn leaves in autumn, making the local people feel the season. “Hikawa Town, Yatsushiro District” is located in the northern part of the Yatsushiro area, almost in the center of Kumamoto prefecture, about 30 km south of Kumamoto city. It borders Uki City in the north and Yatsushiro City in the south. A second-class river Hikawa flows from east to west in the center of the town, and with National Highway No. 3 running from north to south as the boundary, forests and hills in the east, and Shiranui reclamation that is famous throughout the country as “Hachirogata in the west” in the west. It is a town with a total area of ​​33.36 km2 with a flat area including the beginning. “Banpeiyu” : It is famous as a kind of Pomelo which is said to be the largest fruit in the world.It weighs about 2 kg, and the larger ones weigh more than 3 kg. It is about 20 cm in diameter and is about the size of a child's head. Kumamoto Prefecture is famous as the only production area in Japan, and Yatsushiro is a famous production area. I heard that Banpeiyu was introduced in areas with a warm climate around 1951. Cultivation became popular in the 1970s, and currently it produces more than 80% of the prefecture as a whole. It seems that it begins to bloom from mid-April to early May every year. Other citrus fruits, such as Citrus grandis, amanatsu (Citrus natsudaidai) , and Hassaku oranges, must be pollinated to produce fruit and are mainly artificially pollinated. The flowers bloom for a day, and the farmers chase after the bulging buds and perform the mating work at once. It is necessary to pluck the buds before flowering in order to make a good flower. When the pollination work is finished and the small fruits start to grow, hang small bags one by one on the ones grown in the open field. It plays a role in protecting fruits from an early stage so that they are not affected by diseases and pests. From early to mid-July, large bags are placed on both open-field and greenhouse-grown fruits that have grown vigorously. Furthermore, a special water-repellent sheet is put on it. The property of liquid is easy to evaporate at room temperature. Ingenuity is made to prevent the surface of the fruit from getting sunburned.In order to prevent the large Banpeiyu from falling naturally or due to a typhoon, preparations are made for branching (Hanging branches with strings). In mid-November, about a month later, we will start removing the bags that were covered for the harvest. It seems that the whole fruit is harvested by choosing from those that are colored yellow by about 70 to 80%. The open field is from January to early February. The house is open from late November to mid-January. Instead of shipping immediately, it seems that they will be taken to another greenhouse where they will be stored for about 10 days(In order to mature the bluish bottom to yellow, the balls are turned upside down and exposed to sunlight evenly. Finish with soft flesh with increased sugar content: Lined up in a plastic greenhouse. In today's world, humans rarely see each other, but they are kindly close to each other.). Sorted by appearance and size at three fruit sorting plants in the Yatsushiro area. After carefully packing the boxes, they are shipped to Kyushu, Kanto and Kansai. From November to January, it is mainly used for gifts, and from February to April, it is distributed nationwide with the original taste of the variety. Marmalade, jam, and jelly with an elegant taste are sold at the local product hall and are popular. Candied zabon pickles have long been popular with a wide range of people. It lasts for a long time, so it's okay for 1-2 months at room temperature. Not only can you lightly dry the peeled skin and enjoy it as a bath salt, but you can also expect a beautiful skin effect. It seems that the first fruit selection of “Benpeiyu”, a specialty of the Yatsushiro region, which is one of the world's largest citrus fruits, was held on November 29, 2021 at the JA Yatsushiro Fruit Selection Center (Buiwara Shimo Town, Yatsushiro City). It is popular as a gift for the year-end and New Year holidays, and is shipped all over the country. This fruit is a kind of pomelo, and the popular 2L size seems to have a diameter of 19 to 21 cm and a size of about 2 kg. About 80 houses are cultivated, and about 3500 bundles per day will be shipped mainly to Kanto and Kansai. The first sale in 2021 was held on December 2nd. It seems that mature fruits were brought in one after another by truck on this day, and the grades were sorted according to size and appearance. I heard that it will ship about 200,000 bundles by March 2021 and aim for sales of around 125 million yen.

As one of the recommended citrus varieties in Kumamoto prefecture, the more it is encouraged only in the Yatsushiro region, the higher the commercial value of the fruit, and it greatly contributes to the development of regional agriculture. It has a high-quality scent and a long shelf life, and it is customary to decorate the alcove or entranceway for a while, enjoy the appearance and scent, and then eat it. It is also used in pastries such as jelly with pulp and candied fruit.

Kumamon was first unveiled in the campaign “Kumamoto Surprise” that was launched when the Kyushu Shinkansen was fully opened, but it seems that the designer who was asked for the logo of the campaign actually proposed it as a bonus. That is the mascot that represents Japan now. For utilization, “PR business registration” and “license application” to Kumamoto prefecture are required. Design: Manabu Mizuno (produced by Kundo KOYAMA (born in Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture)), Height: Approx. 200 cm, Weight: Approx. 100 kg, Gender: Boy, Designated date: March 5, 2010, Designated by: Kumamoto Prefectural Office.

On January 6, 2022, Benpeiyu, a specialty of Yatsushiro produced in 2021 of the previous year, departed for Hong Kong.
