Thünen's Isolated Countries on Agriculture and National Economy: Adam Smith knew that the value of things and things was not in their "exchange value (economic value)" but in their "use value", and He aimed for a system of knowledge, but failed, and became the founder of the economics of exchange value. His main work, The Wealth of Nations, is a spirited book. "In agriculture, nature also works with humans. But in manufacturing, nature does nothing, humans do everything." Needless to say, I couldn't "study" rather than do it. Albrecht Theer (1752-1828) was a German agronomist who is internationally acclaimed as the founder of modern agricultural science. In Japan, he is introduced as a person who integrated and systematized agricultural science, including technology centered on economics, and established it as an independent biological science. He is also known for establishing the "organic nutrition theory'' that the nutrition of plants is humus and the "principle of crop rotation'' based on the reproduction of soil fertility through the circulation of organic matter. Therefore, in modern Europe, it seems to be re-evaluated as the bible of organic agriculture. In addition to his duties as court physician, he seems to have been active as a member and special commissioner of the Royal Agricultural Society, which was formed with the aim of improving agriculture. After researching agriculture in England, which was undergoing reforms, he set out again from the reality of German agriculture. research and education. Based on the results of his research, he wrote Principles of Rational Agriculture. In order to run agriculture, it is said that the most necessary things are the ability of the farmer, capital, and land. He argued that agricultural methods should be selected based on the results of chemistry. The agricultural revolution brought about changes such as the abolition of fallow, the introduction of fodder crops, the maintenance of soil fertility through the combination of crops, the cereal-grass farming method combined with livestock housekeeping, and the rolling farming method. Was four times the amount sown, but by the 18th century it had increased dramatically to ten times. Well, what is the end of Japanese agriculture??

Johann Heinrich von Thünen (1783-1850), Representative Works, Isolated Countries on Agriculture and National Economy: A Study on the Agricultural Effects of Grain Prices, Land Fertility and Taxes, 1826: Three field system in Southern Manchuria Shiki Agriculture, 1936 : Manchurian Farm Management and Pioneering Agriculture, 1944 : Farm Management and the Significance of Dispersed Cultivated Land Collectivization, 1957. Thunen's Agricultural Location Theory: As a farmer, Thunen came up with this theory while thinking about what kind of farmland should be cultivated in order to maximize profits. J.H. von Thunen (1826) The Isolated State on Agriculture and the National Economy. He considers the selling price, the wages, and the transportation costs as raw materials, of which the transportation costs, which are determined by the distance from the market, are the factors attributable to the land itself. For urban consumers, the value of each type of agricultural product is the same everywhere. Value of land = Reflected in land rent, difference from land rent in the furthest edge of the market area = positional difference in land rent, transportation costs, land rent, management method. Only low-cost (= extensive). If you don't manage it, the market price will be in the red. Farmers who are closest to the market can produce high-priced crops through intensive management that takes "time and effort" as much as they can save on transportation costs. For example, rice cultivation, which is representative of extensive low-cost agriculture in Japan, is most advantageous if it is grown and sold in the immediate vicinity of the market as it does not incur transportation costs. However, no matter how intensively it is grown, rice cannot be sold at a high price due to the high distribution volume. In the immediate market, there is no choice but to switch to agricultural management (horticultural crops) where higher prices can be expected. Agricultural management system: The rate of decrease in rent bearing capacity is steeper for intensive farming and gentler for extensive farming.

【Describe the features】

In addition to the spatial distribution of water demand, it seems necessary to characterize spatial water flows for the development and implementation of water infrastructure systems. It's a mystical world, not just a spatial illusion. Spatial management of water resources includes determining and enforcing rules regarding water withdrawal locations and quantities. The development and implementation of water infrastructure systems can often require characterization of spatial water flows in addition to the spatial distribution of water demand. When pure, it is colorless, tasteless, odorless, and liquid at room temperature. The high cost of infrastructure to move water, which occurs naturally as sea water, lake water, river water, ground water, ice and snow, and atmospheric water vapour, throughout space and to store it in landscaped locations. , the spatial characteristics of infrastructure systems are unlimited. The importance of infrastructure systems can be high because of the high cost of infrastructure to move water throughout space and store it in landscape locations. Spatial management is also necessary for groundwater. It can flow in certain directions, similar to surface water flow in river systems, but much slower, but more robust. Spatial motion informs the position of the well in a flash. In the spatial externality, wells for pumping groundwater cause a local lowering of the water table. Lower water levels seem to mean longer pumping distances for nearby wells. The optimal spatial placement of groundwater pumps reflects this spatial externality, which itself is a function of rock permeability and pumping rate and volume. This spatial management is proportional to the dynamic issues and interactions of the timing of water demand and the rate of groundwater recharge. Kawaminami Youth Liaison Council: Cooperating in preventing infection. As a measure to prevent the spread of the foot-and-mouth disease virus, in addition to setting up disinfection points, water trucks were used to disinfect roads. Since May 20, 2010, the Kawaminami Branch of Youth Division and various organizations in the town have been volunteering for disinfection work using sprinkler trucks. For nine hours from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. every day, efforts were made to prevent the spread of the disease by disinfecting the roads around the site of the outbreak, focusing on loopholes and roads with few disinfection points. 'Toshio Matsuda', a member of the youth club who drives the sprinkler truck, is doing his best to get the situation under control as quickly as possible. At the time, he spoke forcefully that he would continue to be thorough in the future. Each of the three water trucks disinfects the roads in the town. Wakarenkyo（Youth Liaison Council）was in charge of one of them, and they took turns disinfecting while coordinating work. JA Osuzu, which covers Kawaminami Town and Tsuno Town, Koyu County, Miyazaki Prefecture, is located along Hyuga-nada in central Miyazaki Prefecture. In the west, you can see Mt. Osuzu, which is the origin of the JA name, and in the east, you can see the Pacific Ocean where Japan Current flows. The terrain consists of mostly flat plains and mountainous areas facing Mt. Osuzu. In addition, the average temperature is 17.8°C, which is warm throughout the year, and it seems that many agricultural products are produced in the jurisdiction because of the natural conditions suitable for agriculture. NHK program: Robert Akiyama Produce Urgent! Townspeople Audition Kawaminami Town, Koyu District, Miyazaki Prefecture. First broadcast date: April 22, 2023. Robert Akiyama (Affiliated with Yoshimoto industrial enterprise) will do his best to produce a small rural town that is troubled by its low name recognition! Individual townspeople selected through an audition also participate in creating a work that promotes the town. The stage is Kawaminami town. Surrounded by mountains and the sea, it is a town rich in nature with a population of approximately 15,000 people. Livestock farming is thriving, and the number of cattle and pigs in the town is over 120,000, which is more than the population. Branded pork, farm stays, domestically produced bananas, and superb surfing spots. Although there are many places to see and special products, he is worried that the charm is not conveyed. A comedian stood up to play a role in the PR of Kawaminami Town. Together with the unique townspeople, they are creating a certain work. The surname of another producer, Junshi Saita, has unusual roots in Miyazaki and Fukuoka prefectures. Estimated from taxes and fields. It seems that Kamie, Takanabe Town, Koyu County, Miyazaki Prefecture was a feudal retainer of the Takanabe clan in the Edo period. It is said that he was engaged in farming in Kawaminami, Miyazaki Prefecture. Estimated Edo period. About the Takanabe Domain during the Boshin War Takanabe Domain: Tozama daimyo, approximately 27,000 koku of rice. The ruins of the castle were designated as a national scenic area in 1939, designated as a Takanabe town designated historic site in March 1977, and selected as one of the 100 views of the sun in 1983. Currently maintained as Maizuru Park.). Castle structure: Teikaku-style flatland-mountain castle. Domain lord at the time of war: Tanetomi Akizuki (became lord in 1843 and implemented domain administration reforms such as sugar cultivation, adoption of Western military style, and construction of gun battery. In 1869, Takanabe became the governor of the Takanabe domain.) At the time of the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, Tanenaga Akizuki defended Ogaki Castle on the side of the Western Army, but when the Western Army was destroyed in the main battle of Sekigahara on September 15, he quickly switched sides to the Eastern Army and took charge of Ogaki. He killed the generals of the western army who were in the castle and surrendered the castle, so he was relieved of his possessions. After that, in 1604, he moved his residence to Takarabe Castle (Takanabe Castle), and it can be said that the Takanabe clan was established at this point. After that, Akizuki continued for ten generations until the Meiji Restoration at the end of the Edo period. In the Boshin War, he dispatched troops as a new government army. He sent troops to the Echigo area and mediated the surrender of his relative, the Yonezawa Domain. The Akizuki clan was awarded a prize of 8,000 koku of rice. JA Osuzu has production areas such as Kawaminami Town, Koyu District, and Tsuno Town, which are representative of Miyazaki Prefecture. However, due to the aging of farmers and the spread of crops (lettuce, sweet corn) that compete with carrots in cropping season, there are 57 members (average age 48) and the cropped area has decreased to 89 ha. In many cases, many farmers cultivate carrots in the area as a follow-up crop to rice, and the cultivar for fruit juice is "Kuroda Gosun'' by the Nagasaki Gosun Ginseng Incubation Association because of its color tone. It seems to be From mid-August to mid-September, when the rice harvest is finished, 40,000 to 45,000 grains are sown per roll (row width 120 cm, spacing 7 cm, planting 4 rows), and harvesting starts in early December. It seems that it will be completed by the beginning of March. The actual yield was 3.7 to 3.8 tons against the target of 5 tons per roll (management policy of the promotion center). In addition, most of the harvested carrots are sold to Miyazaki Prefectural Agricultural Cooperative Fruits Juice Co., Ltd. through systematic joint sales through each agricultural cooperative and Keizairen. According to the standards set by the Miyazaki Prefecture Horticultural Brand Inspection Association, it must be bright red, have a sugar content of 7.5 degrees or more, be free from toxic contamination such as residual pesticides, have a length of 3 cm to 8 cm or less, and a length of 10 cm to 23 cm. It seems that it is only defined as a healthy fruit and does not have a class division like market shipment). As a result, the post-harvest adjustment work of the farmers is considerably simplified, and it seems that the shipment is also loaded with soil in a 1-ton container rented by Miyazaki Prefectural Agricultural Cooperative Fruits Juice Co., Ltd. These standards and the simplification of shipping adjustments have reduced the working hours per roll to about 84 hours, compared to 237 hours in Chiba Prefecture, which is also a carrot-producing area in winter. This seems to make it possible to deal with processing raw materials at a level below the market price. Miyazaki Prefecture Agricultural Cooperative Fruits Juice Co., Ltd. has factories in Koyu District (headquarters factory), which is the raw material production area for carrots, and Miyakonojo and Kobayashi districts. Imported in a 1t container. From December to March, which is the harvest season for winter carrots, raw carrots are received, washed, sorted, blanched, refined, and stored frozen as "carrot puree." and sold to other beverage manufacturers. In addition, the company uses 5% of the carrots procured as raw materials for its own brand products, and the rest is used as raw materials for brand products of beverage manufacturers with which it has an Original Equipment Manufacturing (Manufacturer) contract. In addition, many winter carrot production areas in Miyazaki Prefecture ship a part of the harvested amount for processing raw materials on the premise that they are generally shipped to the market for raw consumption. Agricultural cooperatives and other related entities work together to determine the planting area based on the procurement plan of the user, Miyazaki Prefecture Agricultural Cooperative Fruits Juice Co., Ltd., and adopt a system for procuring harvested products. In this way, in a system that is highly dependent on transactions and closely linked, there is no problem if production is carried out according to plan, but if crop conditions change due to unseasonable weather, it is likely to lead to raw material procurement problems. It seems that there is also. JA Osuzu is located along the Hyuga Sea in the middle of Miyazaki Prefecture. To the west you can see Mt. Osuzu, the origin of the name of JA. The land of Osuzu, which is nurtured by the tropical sun and greenery, produces a variety of vegetables and fruits throughout the year. It seems that the agricultural and livestock products produced here are shipped not only within the prefecture but also all over the country. Osuzuyama Prefectural Natural Park centered around Mt. Osuzu, and a group of waterfalls including Yatogi Falls are located within the jurisdiction. On the other hand, there are fishing ports in Kawaminami and Tsuno on the coastline, and seafood is abundant. Tsuno's sea urchin'' and Kawaminami's "Lagocephalus wheeleri Abe, Tabeta & Kitahama（Unlike tiger puffer fish, it has a supple white flesh similar to chicken tenderloin. If you lightly sear it, grill it, and eat it with ponzu sauce, the elegant flavor will spread in your mouth.）'' are particularly famous, and I sometimes eat them. There is also a surfing center in Ikurahama Nature Park, and the straight coastline seems to be one of the hot spots for surfers both inside and outside the prefecture. Also, Tsuno wine, which is brewed from locally produced grapes, has received high praise overseas and is very popular, and during the sales period at Tsuno Winery, which overlooks the Hyuga Sea, it is crowded with many customers. The Miyazaki Prefecture brand certified crops seem to strive to reduce pesticides through thorough cultivation management such as the use of insect nets, insect repellent sheets, and natural pesticides. In addition, the food development laboratory of Keizairen conducts regular inspections of residual pesticides to check whether pest control is appropriate. Participate in the ODD movement (appropriate application of organic matter, deep cultivation, soil diagnosis). Do not apply excessive fertilizers, and apply appropriate fertilizers necessary for the growth and harvesting of crops. Cherry Tomatoes: Acquired brand production area certification on October 22, 2001, product brand name: "Miyazaki Eco Cherry Tomatoes", Mini Tomato Subcommittee 35 producers Area 12.5 ha. Mini Tomato Group 11 producers Area 7.4 ha. The JA Osuzu mini tomato section usually begins shipping Cherry Tomatoes in late September. The variety is Summer Senka Cherry Tomatoes. It seems to be characterized by a glossy dark red color and a beautiful spherical fruit shape. The 2020 crop escaped damage from the typhoon, and it seems that the fine weather continued and the growth was good. In the subcommittee, 36 people planted Summer Senka Tomatoes and Kosuzu Cherry Tomatoes on 13.5 hectares. The first peak is around mid-November, and it seems that 2021 will reach its peak in April-May. According to Takii & Co., Ltd., the cherry tomatoes "summer senka tomatoes" to be introduced this time is a deep red and glossy fruit color. The fruit color is bright red and seems to have a beautiful luster. The fruit weight seems to be 15 to 20 g. The fruit shape is a beautiful sphere and should be well-matched. It has a high sugar content and seems to have a particularly good taste. The sugar content is 8 to 10 degrees, which is stable from the lower stage to a higher sugar content than "Coco cherry tomatoes", and it seems that the taste is particularly excellent due to the fine meat quality. Also, it is easy to cultivate and it seems that there are few glasses. The grass is medium-strength and gentler than "Coco cherry tomatoes", and it is easy to cultivate with less occurrence of abnormal main stems (glasses). From Takii Seedling Co., Ltd., in principle, the market is cultivated in a facility. It is suitable for all cropping types such as controlled cultivation, but it seems that it is always better to carry out rain shelter cultivation (facility cultivation) in order to prevent fruit cracking and improve quality in economic cultivation. In long-term cultivation, it seems that the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied to the original fertilizer is 10 to 15 kg per 10 a when a large amount of original fertilizer is used for long-stepping of 15 or more stages. The nitrogen component is Coco medium: Coconut fiber is crushed into small pieces to remove salt. It looks like soil, but it feels soft to the touch and can contain more air than soil. It contains a lot of air. It is important to include it, and it seems that the roots can grow quickly by supplying a large amount of oxygen to the rhizosphere. Rock wool is another famous medium that uses a solid medium for hydroponic cultivation. It is highly breathable and seems to be one of the most suitable mediums for hydroponic cultivation. The raw material is slag (when the target metal is obtained from ore or crude metal, vein stones and impurities are separated from the metal in a molten state. The amount is increased by 10 to 20% from mainly siliceous oxide melts), rocks, and limestones produced by adding a solvent for the purpose, which are melted at high temperature and fibrous. The best rootstock is a variety that has stamina until the latter half of cultivation. The fruit color is deep red and has a beautiful luster. The fruit weighs 15 to 20 g, and the fruit shape is a beautiful sphere with a good impression. We ship products with good sugar content and acidity, and fine meat quality. It seems that the production area is forcibly cultivated in the coastal area in the fall and winter, and cultivated in the high cold mountainous area to avoid rain in the summer and autumn, and shipped year-round. In addition, Ruyobetsu Village is raising seedlings in a dedicated green house installed in a well-ventilated and well-drained place. Put up an insect net, raise seedlings for about 40 days, and plant seedlings so that flower buds can be seen. It seems that water is carefully managed until it takes root, and watering is performed in small increments and more frequently from the fruit enlargement period to the harvest period. It seems that he is trying to remove the leaves so that the fruits are well exposed to sunlight. Cf Kosuzu Cherry Tomatoes from Vilmorin Mikado Co., is a mini tomato with less cracking and good taste. It has medium leaves with short internodes and strong grass, but it is insensitive to soil moisture and fertilizer, and it seems to be easy to cultivate because it is difficult to grow stems that do not have cores or abnormal stems. The flower clusters often branch into 2-3 branches near the 3rd and 4th stages, and have excellent fruit setting, with 20-25 fruits per flower cluster. The fruit weight is 15-20 g, and the fruits are well-aligned and labor-saving. The fruit color is dark red and slightly glossy, and the packaging is very beautiful. The taste is sweet and rich and delicious. The fruit is hard and has excellent workability during harvesting and adjustment, as well as transportability and shelf life. There seems to be very little splitting. It is also highly resistant to ToMV (Tm-2a), wilt race 1, and leaf blight (Cf9). Moderate disease resistance to root-knot nematodes. Moderately resistant to spot disease. Appears to be suitable for long wintering, semi-forcing and controlled cultivation. On November 21, 2022, at the request of the Promotion Bureau, JA Osuzu held an exchange meeting for new agricultural trainees and three students from Takanabe Agricultural High School outside the prefecture (Shizuoka Prefecture, Tokyo Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture). It seems that the purpose of the training greenhouse is to deepen the understanding of agriculture in Miyazaki Prefecture through the experience of harvesting green peppers, the introduction of new farming systems, and interaction with trainees, and to motivate them to work in agriculture in the prefecture in the future. In the same year, on Sunday, November 27th, the 5th JA Osuzu Harvest Festival was held at the Fujimi Athletic Stadium parking lot in Tsuno Town. This was the second joint event with the Tsuno Town Industrial Festival. Blessed with fine weather on the day of the festival, it was a perfect day for the festival, and it seems to have gained popularity. It was held for the first time in three years due to an epidemic, but it seems that about 5,000 people came to the venue and showed a lively atmosphere. From the same JA, it seems that the livestock department, the agriculture and gardening department, the youth department, and the women's department have opened stores. Among them, the livestock department sold beef and pork at special prices, and it seems that long lines were forming even before the festival started. It sold out in about an hour from the start and was a great success. Sales of fresh vegetables, fried soba, curry, and demonstration sales of joint purchases are also popular. On the side of the Tsuno Industry Festival, Saroma Town, Hokkaido, a friendship city of Tsuno Town, sells grilled scallops. It seems that this place is very popular and there was a line. Kawaminami Town, Koyu District has a total area of 90.12 km2. Located almost in the center of Miyazaki Prefecture facing the Hyuga Sea, it has a population of 15,501 (as of May 1, 2018). It boasts one of the largest agricultural production volumes in the country. Based on the townspeople's rich nature and human kindness, it seems that they are aiming for "town development with a new frontier spirit" in order to remember the strong pioneering spirit of their predecessors and further develop. The Kawaminami Wetland is popular as a wetland that spreads out in the Shimbashi district in the central part of Kawaminami Town. It is close to Route 10, about 50 meters above sea level, and has an area of about 33,000 square meters. It was designated as a national natural monument in 1974, and there are 78 families and 298 types of plants, of which about 110 are wet plants, of which about 50 are rare plants. Around 1989, eutrophication progressed so much that the water surface of Shimbashi Reservoir could no longer be seen, and the risk of loss was high if things continued as they were. Currently, improvement of the wetland environment is progressing, and it seems that the growth and restoration of various wetland plants have been confirmed. In particular, Japan's only wild "Hyugahoshikusa", which was thought to be extinct, has been revived for the first time in about 50 years, delighting the eyes of visitors. In addition to plants, we also confirmed the inhabitation of "Japanese killifish". Since the observation trail was constructed, visitors seem to be enjoying a stroll in the quiet environment. I heard that the patients of the adjacent hospital are also taking a walk for rehabilitation. Tsuno Town, Koyu District is a small town overlooked by the Pacific Sea of Hyuga and Mt. Osuzu. Mt. is the first waterfall group in Japan to be designated as a place of scenic beauty, with more than 30 waterfalls in the clear river that flows between the trees full of greenery. The town is also called the "City of Agriculture" and produces many delicious agricultural and livestock products. The Tsuno wine made from the specialty "grape" seems to be a proud wine that continues to win awards in domestic and overseas competitions. Tsuno Shrine, the Ichinomiya of Hyuga Province, surrounded by the forest of the shrine. It is a historic shrine where Emperor Jinmu prayed for when he moved to the east. In addition, the roadside station "Tsuno", which is connected to Tsuno Shrine by a red good luck bridge, seems to be bustling with many people who come here to buy fresh local vegetables, fruits, meat and fish, and their processed products. It is said that Tsuno Shrine was built when Emperor Jinmu visited Miyazaki six years before he ascended the throne, praying for peace in the land, peace at sea, and prosperity in war. It seems that Omitaka no Mikoto (also known as Okuninushi no Mikoto), who is famous for the myth of "The White Rabbit of Inaba", is enshrined as a deity. There are various Shinto rituals in the company, and it is full of highlights. First of all, before entering the precincts, there is a stone along with the offertory box. This is the "god's stone" that was set up for the Ishimochi Shinji ritual, and it is said that if you visit the shrine while holding this stone and place it in the stone store behind the main shrine, your wish will come true. In addition, stroking the Daikoku-sama statue with wishes is expected to bring healing from illness and prosperous business. It is said that the "patting rabbit", which is derived from the white rabbit of Inaba, has benefits such as good health. Tsuno Shrine also has a wonderful view, and a wide approach lined with trees seems to welcome visitors. Just walking in the orderly and beautiful environment cleanses the soul, but it seems that the priests spend more than an hour cleaning every morning. Throughout its long history, it has been valued by the locals as a place of devotion that has been cherished while being involved with many people. Tsuno Town Kawakita is located in the central part of Miyazaki Prefecture, in the Tsuno River Basin, and faces the Sea of Hyuga to the east. During the Edo period, it was the territory of the Takanabe clan, and it seems that it consisted of Kawakami Township (6 villages) and Tsuno Town (machiba) out of Nobeppu Rokugo, which was controlled locally. Former high and former territory (a domain that existed in Hyuga Province. Present-day eastern part of Koyu County, Miyazaki Prefecture (Takanabe Town, Kawaminami Town, Kijo Town, Tsuno Town, Mimitsu in Hyuga City), Kushima City, and Miyazaki City (Uriuno and Kuraoka areas). Part), owned Kunitomi Town (Kiwaki)), Kawakami Village and Miie 3,867 koku of rice. Mr. Hirabe, the author of Hyuga Topography, surveyed this village in June 1878. According to this book, the village is about 3 ri from east to west, 2 ri from north to south, 18 towns, 1,021 households, and a population of 5. , 047, 580 cows, 1,849 horses, and 53 Japanese boats. It seems that Tateno 25 and Tsuno Town were by far the most numerous towns. In this "Hyuga Topography", Tsuno Town is one character of Kawakita village, but it seems that Tsuno Town was under the control of the townspeople in the Takanabe clan in the Edo period and was distinguished from the village of Kawakita. Miyazaki Prefectural Ordinance No. 17 of 1889 stipulated that Tsuno Town and Kawakita Village would be merged into a rural village, and administratively it was not included in Kawakita Village. From 1920, Miyakonojo Village became Tsuno, and Kawakita became a section of village of Tsuno Town. In 2004, the JA Osuzu Mini Tomato Group was awarded the 34th Japan Agriculture Award for its efforts to create a production center through environmental recycling-oriented cultivation that unites the region. The "Miyazaki Eco Cherry Tomatoes" produced by this group are so popular that they sometimes fail to ship in time for their intense flavor and consistent quality, as if they were born from the tropical sun. It's safer and more secure. Most of the 38 members of the division were certified eco-farmers. The fact that we formed a subcommittee was because the quality was so uneven that it was not recognized as a production area. While discussing with everyone, it seems that if they were going to do it anyway, in order to cope with the price slump due to imported vegetables, they started making ideal mini tomatoes to make something that was completely safe and secure that could never be imitated in other countries. It seems that there was also a thought that cheap is not good. The biggest point is making soil. The Green Gaia Experimental Plant (reduced pesticides and organic farming), which was built by Tsuno Town and others, is one of the trends, but from the standpoint of farmers, we are prepared to take on a lot of labor. The reason for the group's success is that we were able to share the goal of creating a reliable production area with the community. By using, the soil becomes richer than you can see, and environmental recycling cultivation that returns local garbage to the soil is also realized. It seems that they do not use chemicals to exterminate pests that occur in the soil, and use solar heat disinfection that keeps the vinyl greenhouse closed and high temperature during the midsummer off season. Significance of tracing history, Full-scale cultivation in Japan began in the Meiji era. Along with the development of Hokkaido, American corn's introduced and large-scale production begins（It's said that the place of origin is near Latin America such as “Mexico and Guatemala”. Teosinte（grass）, C4 carbon fixation Origin? Traces of corn grown in southern Mexico 8,000 years ago (around 5960 BC), reaserch result.）. There's no doubt that the discovery of the continent of Columbus（Christophorus Columbus）brought it back to the world.It was something I forgot to tell you, but in the germ part there is an element for smoothing carbohydrate metabolism and recovering from fatigue. Again, please pardon my poor English. “Edible Corn”, One of the world's three largest grains along with rice and wheat. The place of origin is said to be tropical AMERICA（Near Central and South America such as Mexico and Guatemala）and has a long history of cultivation. Cultivated before 2000 BC: The ancient civilizations of the Maya and Aztecs developed with corn as their staple food. Propagated to Europe by Christopher Columbus bringing it back to Spain. Since then, it has been cultivated and spread all over the world. In 1579, it was transmitted to Japan by the Portuguese to Nagasaki（Or, Hard grain seeds in Shikoku; Z.m.L.var.indurata）. It goes a long way in history, cultivated in earnest with the development of Hokkaido in the Meiji era.“Gold Rush”, Sweet corn cultivated by SAKATA SEED CORPORATION. In 2004, Charm Corn “Gold Rush” was sold. The grain color tends to be evenly lined with brilliant yellow. Large corn is packed tightly to the end.Since it has good germination and low-temperature extensibility, it is stable from early cropping such as tunnel cultivation. After being harvested in the early morning when the sweetness is deepest: Through the process of cooling to the core in a vacuum state: Shipped to the consumer or market. Gold rush corn is a super sweet corn that is easy to eat for children and elderly people because the skin of the grain is very soft and it is hard to get caught in the gaps between teeth, and it is gaining popularity from consumers. The golden grain, which is the origin of the name, is densely packed with fruits and has a sweet and fresh texture. A yellow variety with an extremely soft grain skin and a refreshing sweetness. The ripening period is 83 to 84 days, and this type has a fairly early growth, and it seems that the 2L size can be harvested stably. Since it has good germination and low temperature elongation, it seems that it can be cultivated stably from early cropping such as tunnel cultivation. Gold rush ripens faster after pollination than conventional varieties, so it seems that the tip is a little immature and the best time to harvest. Sweet corn is a crop with relatively wide adaptability, and it does not choose the field so much, but it maintains a healthy field with drainage, water retention, and fertilizer retention by applying manure and green manure. The standard fertilizer is 25 kg per 10 a for nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potassium. For nitrogen content, 1/2 is applied as the main fertilizer and the remaining 1/2 is applied as the top fertilizer. The planting density varies depending on the region and cultivation type, but it seems that 4,200 plants per 10 a (ridges 80 to 90 cm, plants 27 to 30 cm) are a guide. To improve the germination, ensure that the soil temperature is 15 ° C or higher, and then sow 3 grains per hole. It seems that caution is required because not only temperature but also moderate soil moisture affects germination.

The sweet corn from Miyazaki Prefecture, which is shipped earlier than anywhere else, peaks in mid-May. Even if you eat it raw, it has a sweet and crunchy texture. Also, Tsuno Wine, made from grapes grown within the area, is highly rated overseas. Shortly after the war, Hyakuji Nagatomo old man turned his attention to grapes as a conversion crop. Although it is an image of autumn, Miyazaki has the advantage of being able to harvest in the summer. It was a really big challenge, though. Later, he developed his own techniques, such as identifying windbreaks and varieties, and pruning methods. It seems that he was a man of convictions who entrusted his dream to live as a farmer rather than go to a normal school. At the age of 19, he opened a pear orchard with the ideal of prosperous agricultural management that does not rely on rice farming. Everyone believed that it was impossible to grow fruit trees in urban farms with a lot of rain. However, he learns cultivation techniques under the guidance of the Agricultural Experiment Station and orchard gardening magazines. He cultivated a copse of trees, raised seedlings, and finally planted pears in his rice field.

"Miyazaki Fresh Sweet Corn" carefully nurtured by JA Osuzu's sweet corn section. Harvested early in the morning and vacuum precooled at JA's sorting field (a cooling method that rapidly lowers the temperature of the product to around 5 degrees Celsius by creating a vacuum state and maintains freshness and sugar content, rapidly evaporating the moisture in the vegetables) and take away the latent heat of evaporation. By putting it in the machine, it is delivered to the living person (consumer) while maintaining its freshness. In the jurisdiction, we work hard every day to produce safe and secure sweet corn with the members of the department.

Kawaminami Wetland Plant Community, Natural Monument: June 11, 1974. It is a wetland that spreads out in the Shimbashi district, which is located almost in the center of Kawaminami Town, and is well-known and treasured nationwide. There are 298 types of plants in 78 families, of which 110 are wet plants, of which about 50 are rare plants. From around 1989, environmental deterioration of the marsh became noticeable, and from 1995 to 2010, surveys and maintenance were carried out with the aim of protecting the plants, and from 2010 it was opened to the public. As the environment surrounding the marsh has improved, it seems that the growth and restoration of various marsh plants have been confirmed. Takanabe Shinto Music, Intangible Folk Cultural Property: April 1, 1979. Collectively refers to the yokagura that has been handed down in the former Takanabe domain. Yasaka Shrine and Atago Shrine in Takanabe Town, Hachiman Shrine in Shintomi Town, Hiki Shrine in Kishiro Town, and Shirahige Shrine and Hirata Shrine in Kawaminami Town. It seems that it is a joint event that rotates among the companies. Shirahige Shrine is currently closed. Many kagura in rural areas have been lost, and the tradition of this kagura is a valuable existence. Noboriguchi Fellow Dance, Intangible Folk Cultural Property: January 8, 1980. Young people dressed as slaves hold wooden swords and fans and dance to the music of songs and drums on the day of vain prayers. According to oral tradition, during the reign of the former feudal lord of Takanabe, Tanetada Akizuki（9th feudal lord. 1791-1856）, Matsugoro Yamashita, who accompanied the Sankin Kotai, learned what he had learned in Edo and passed it on to the Noboriguchi area. It was popular from the Meiji period to the early Showa period, but since 1937 it has decreased significantly due to the call-up for military service. In 1968, the Fellow Odori Preservation Society was formed.

The amendment to the Law Concerning Agricultural Committees (Law No. 88 of 1951) came into effect on April 1, 2016, and the most important task for agricultural committees is to promote the optimization of agricultural land use. It is clearly positioned as an essential task. In Sakaide City, flat land and hilly and mountainous land are mixed, and it seems that the use of farmland and the type of farming are different depending on the region. In hilly and mountainous areas, there is concern about the expansion of idle farmland due to the aging of cultivators and damage from birds and animals. While efforts are being made to prevent and eliminate such problems, since land-based agriculture centered on rice and vegetables is popular on flatlands, regional planning (Bill for Partial Revision of the Agricultural Management Base Strengthening Promotion Act (No. 56 of 2022), based on the provisions of Article 19, Paragraph 1 of the Agricultural Management Base Strengthening Promotion Law (No. 65 of 1980) after the revision, municipalities, based on the results of discussions with farmers, etc. For each person in charge of agriculture as a goal for efficient and comprehensive use of agricultural land. This refers to clarified and published maps, etc. that indicate the agricultural land to be used.）in the farmland based on It seems that it is necessary to work on usage adjustment utilizing the space management business. Sakaide is an area that has been associated with salt since ancient times, as evidenced by the excavation of salt pottery from the Yayoi and Kofun periods. Then, in the Edo period, Eizaemon Kume (1780-1841), who established the city as a town of salt, appeared. He was born in Kagawa as the son of a boat rudder craftsman. Calling himself "Michikata", he made a name for himself as a master of artillery and artillery. In 1824, when the finances of the Takamatsu clan were declining and the people were suffering from poverty, he decided to restore the finances of the clan and cultivate salt fields off the shallow coast of Sakaide in order to save the people. Yorihiro Matsudaira（1798-1842, Father: Harunori Tokugawa, 7th lord of Hitachi Mito Domain Father-in-law: Yorinori Matsudaira, 8th lord of Sanuki Takamatsu Domain. 9th lord of Sanuki Takamatsu Domain). In 1826, he became Fushin-bugyo (shogunate official responsible for public works) at Sakaide new rice field. In addition, the approximately 20,000 ryo from the clan was not enough, and a total of approximately 1,940,000 people were mobilized with their own funds. Three years later, in 1829, approximately 132 ha of salt fields, including Higashi-Ohama and Nishi-Ohama, were cultivated. successful. He is famous as the person who created Japan's first survey map before Tadataka Ino (1745-1818), a great man from Kujukuri Town, Sanmu County, Chiba Prefecture.

On December 13, 2022, 14 third graders from Kuwayama Elementary School (Okamoto) are experiencing broccoli harvesting. With the cooperation of local producers, each elementary school in Toyonaka Town, Mitoyo seems to do this every year. Before the harvesting experience, a staff member of the Kagawa Prefecture Seisan Agricultural Improvement and Extension Center explained about the history and characteristics of broccoli. Listening to the story, the children learn that local broccoli production is thriving. I am deeply impressed by the magnificence of the teaching staff, who consider the field of food education, which is greatly influenced by the growth process, to be a valuable experience, and impose hands-on experience. In addition, the main production areas of broccoli in the Kagawa irrigation district are Takamatsu City, Sakaide City, Mitoyo City, and Kanonji City. Among the 863 million tons of annual water volume newly developed for the Sameura Dam by the "Yoshino River Comprehensive Development Plan" centered on the construction of the Sameura Dam (Kochi Prefecture) located upstream of the Yoshino River, the tunnel runs from the Ikeda point in Tokushima Prefecture in the middle of the Yoshino River. 247 million cubic meters of water per year that is distributed to Kagawa Prefecture. An 8-kilometer water tunnel runs through the Asan Mountains, leading to the former Zaita Town, Mitoyo County, and from there, a main waterway extending from east to west is planned to carry water into the prefecture. It is a lifeline that solves the water shortage that has been plagued since ancient times and plays an important role in people's lives and industrial activities. Broccoli is a representative vegetable of Kagawa Prefecture, and the shipment volume was the third largest in Japan in 2018. The production area extends throughout the prefecture, and in areas other than the islands, it seems that cultivation using water from Kagawa is being carried out. After being picked in the morning, they are immediately packed in ice and shipped, so they are characterized by their deep green color and excellent freshness. In addition, it boasts a soft texture and sweetness, and its high quality has earned it high praise from market participants both inside and outside the prefecture.

The JA Bank food and agriculture education support project that JA Bank Kagawa has continued since 2008. In this project, in order to promote the understanding of agriculture among elementary school students, the supplementary teaching materials "Agriculture and Our Life" will be presented to children on March 13, 2023. JA Bank prepares it every year with basic themes such as food, agriculture and environmental education for upper grades, mainly 5th graders. It is mainly used in social studies classes and comprehensive learning. After the presentation ceremony, we donated 9,430 books to 153 elementary schools in the prefecture and 77 books to special needs schools and classes through the JA Kagawa branch. A4 size, full color 28 pages, introducing rice, vegetables, fruit production, changes in agricultural technology, distribution, issues in Japanese agriculture, new initiatives, etc. with photos, illustrations, and graphs in an easy-to-understand manner. Issued by the JA Bank Agri Eco Support Fund, which is sent to elementary schools nationwide. The Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Cooperative has decided to appoint actress Ai Iinuma from Kagawa Prefecture for the JA Bank promotion from April 2023. She is planning to develop promotions such as TV commercials, YouTube advertisements, shopping street banners, and over-the-counter promotional materials. Ai Iinuma was selected as the grand prix out of about 9,000 people in Yasushi Akimoto × TBS TV's actress discovery and training audition "TBS Star Development Project The Day I Became an Actress_". One of the actresses who has been attracting attention in the future after seizing the lead role in "This First Love is Fiction" and entering the entertainment world. She is from Kagawa Prefecture, her birth date is August 5, 2003. She then won first place in a three-month acting battle. She starred in the drama stream "Papa to Musume no 7 daily interest rate", and she has also decided to appear in the Sunday theater "Atom no Ko" from October. In the middle of March 2022, I learned from the media that Kagawa Prefecture in the Shikoku region is planning a project to export rice produced in the prefecture as “Pre-packaged rice” overseas in collaboration with a major company. As the domestic market is expected to shrink, it seems that it is attracting attention as a new initiative aimed at expanding consumption of rice produced in the prefecture by looking overseas. According to the people concerned, Kagawa Prefecture and others have agreed to supply rice produced in the prefecture to the “Pre-packaged rice” factory that a major company is planning to build in Saga Prefecture. Pre-packaged rice is also being exported by the national government because it does not require phytosanitary inspection when it is exported and even foreigners who do not know how to cook rice can easily cook it in the microwave. According to the plan, rice produced in the prefecture will be supplied through JA Kagawa prefecture from next year when the factory in Saga prefecture starts operation, and it will be made into pre-packaged rice and exported overseas. In 2025, when the Saga factory will start full-scale operation, it is said that about 1500 tons of rice will be processed into packed rice annually together with rice produced in other prefectures. JA Kagawa Prefecture is recruiting producers to participate in this project soon. In addition to providing guidance on low-cost rice production suitable for export, it seems that it will conduct market research overseas. There has been almost no export record of rice produced in Kagawa prefecture, and it is attracting attention as a new initiative aimed at expanding consumption by looking overseas. To give an example, it was decided that the Pre-packaged rice manufactured at “Japan Pack Rice Akita” in Ogata Village, Akita Prefecture, which started full-scale operation in July 2021, will be exported overseas for the first time, and in 2022 as the first step. On January 27, it seems that loading into a container for Taiwan was carried out at the factory. As domestic demand for rice for main food is declining year by year, we have found a way out in overseas sales channels. About 12,000 meals were exported. After customs clearance, he left Akita Port on January 8, 2021 and arrived at Keelung Port in Taiwan on the 16th. It is sold at a department store in Taiwan on the Internet, and it seems that the selling price was expected to be about twice that of Japan (120 yen per meal). According to the Ogata Village Akita Komachi Producers Association, which is responsible for exports, the company wants to export to Taiwan once every three months, aiming for about 100,000 meals a year. Exports to Shanghai, China were completed in February. It seems that it is also considering exporting to Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States. The aim is to increase consumption of rice, which is the staple food of the Japanese. It seems that he settled in Ogata village half a century ago and wanted to grow rice and increase consumption. Consumption is declining, while nuclear families are becoming more common and people's lifestyles are changing. The chances of cooking rice at home are decreasing, and more people are eating convenient pre-packaged rice. I have considered building a factory twice so far, but it seems that the investment amount has been greatly abandoned. This time, subsidies from the national and prefectural governments and loans from Akita Bank have been completed. At last, the prospect of construction was reached, and gluten-free foods and foods for food allergies were developed, but it seems to be a product that fills the gap. Consumption is increasing year by year, and the market is expected to grow even more in the future. About four years ago, in February 2018, TableMark Co., Ltd. (Head office: Tsukiji, Chuo Ward, Tokyo), the largest manufacturer and seller of PACKED ASEPTIC COOKED RICE in Japan. It seems that the annual production will be 250 million meals and 50,000 tons. The company aims to complete the Mizu no Sato factory (Toka Town) in Uonuma, Niigata prefecture in August 2018, and invests 2.1 billion yen to produce 7,500 meals per hour. Was added. Six lines are already in operation at this factory, and when the additional line is completed, the production capacity will reach 46,500 meals per hour. At the Spring / Summer New Product Press Conference held on January 25, Tablemark Co., Ltd. offered 3 extra-sized servings of 300g per meal and pre-packaged rice using milky queen rice from Ishikawa prefecture as new products for packed rice. It is on sale from the 1st of the month. We are also introducing Pre-packaged rice using Koshihikari in the commercial field. It seems that the commercial-use rice is not made exclusively for it, but is the same as the commercially available Koshihikari rice-packed rice, and the packaging design is only one color. According to the company, there have been inquiries about pre-packaged rice in order to save the trouble of re-cooking rice at restaurants and hotels, and it is focusing on management by making a full-scale sales offensive in this field. Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Cooperative was established in April 2000 by the merger of 43JA in Kagawa Prefecture. After that, it merged with 2JA and contributed to Japanese agriculture again as a prefectural single agricultural cooperative in April 2013. The average cultivated area per farmhouse in the prefecture is 0.9 hectares, which is less than half of the national average (2.1 hectares). Under favorable climatic conditions, lettuce and Japanese red Kintoki carrot (the bright red color is dazzling, the production volume is the highest in Japan. It is said that the oriental species was introduced from China from 1603 to 1867. The red color is japanese traditional. It is prized for New Year's dish and Kyo-ryori (local climate of Kyoto), and is also characterized by being sweeter and softer than the orange-colored western carrots that are widely distributed. The main production areas are the sandy areas of Sakaide City and Kannonji City. At the end of the year when demand is high, farmers will be forced to ship), and they produce nationwide agricultural products such as lettuce. Kanonji City, which is a celery producing area in Kagawa Prefecture, is located in the western part of the prefecture, bordering the Seto Inland Sea in the north and the Sanuki Mountains in the south. While making high use of the blessed natural conditions of the Setouchi-style climate of warm and light rain, the micro-scale of management is complemented by advanced use of land and capital-intensive management such as facility horticulture, and vegetables, fruit trees, and livestock are produced based on rice and wheat. It seems that they are developing highly productive agriculture centered on complex management such as. In the Ariake area, where celery is particularly popular in the city, tomatoes and cucumbers are cultivated mainly in celery and are popular with consumers, using well-drained sandy areas along the coast. Celery production seems to have started in 1970 in the Ariake district of Kanonji city. At that time, the cultivation was institutionalized, and we were considering the items to be introduced, but there was a request from the Kanto market for celery production, and we started cultivation with 5 houses producers. In 2017, the JA Kagawa Prefecture Kanonji District Celery Subcommittee produced 22 houses, with a cultivated area of 830 ares (including 590 ares of celery and 240 ares of mini celery), and a cultivated area of 37.7 ares per house. Production was strong at 640 tons (480 tons of celery, 160 tons of mini celery). It seems that the aging of farmers is progressing in the prefecture, but the average age of producers is as young as 40s, and many bearers are growing, making it a vigorous production area in the prefecture. Kanonji celery seems to be cultivated mainly in combination with tomatoes. Cellular is planted from mid-September to the end of November, and the harvest seems to be from early January to early May. The peak harvest season is March. I heard that cultivation is generally done in an unheated greenhouse. Minicellly is planted from early September to the end of November, and harvested from mid-November to early June. It is generally cultivated in the open field or in an unheated greenhouse. The main varieties are celery 619 and mini celery top-selling (vigorous and disease-resistant. The plant is slightly upright, the first node is long, the core leaves grow well, and large plants can yield high yields. The petioles are wide, thick, and have few streaks. The color is light green with good freshness. It seems that the celery is about half a month later than “Cornel 619”. It seems that small stocks of about 1 kg are also possible). Raising seedlings was carried out collectively at the Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Support Center, a subsidiary of JA Kagawa Prefecture, in an effort to reduce the work of producers. However, from around 2006, in Cornell varieties, seeding due to the effects of warming caused poor germination of seeds due to high temperatures during the seeding period, and the occurrence of twisting symptoms similar to viral diseases in planted seedlings (Colletotrichum simmondsii RG). Shivas & YP Tan? Fine, necrotic spots are formed on the core leaves of new leaves, and in the case of severe damage, spindle-shaped brown spots appear on the outer leaves and stalks. Also, curls of leaves and twisting of stalks. It seems that it may be accompanied by malformations such as. Diagnosis is made by confirming the characteristic necrotic spot spot symptoms that occur in the core lobe. Furthermore, when the symptom site of the core lobe is observed with a microscope, it is colorless single vesicle, spindle-shaped to oval. It seems that it is possible to confirm the saplings). Therefore, in cooperation with related organizations such as the extension center of the prefecture, it seems that they started self-seeding by jurisdiction seeding farmers for line selection in 2010, and started cultivating selected seeds in 2011 the following year. It seems that the selected seeds are fixed seeds in the area and are raised at the Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Support Center. Since the selected seeds germinate well and the occurrence of twisting symptoms is small, it seems that it was possible to plant with good quality seedlings, which led to the improvement of quality. Currently, selected seeds and commercially available seeds are used in combination, but the weight of selected seeds is increasing, and further quality improvement is being seriously addressed. In addition, the JA seems to be promoting the introduction of a hydroponic soil cultivation system for each producer in order to save labor. The hydroponic soil cultivation system does not require special soil or facilities, and it seems that it can automatically perform watering and fertilizer application work and reduce the amount of fertilizer used compared to the conventional soil cultivation method. In addition, there is no need to add fertilizer or soil conditioner at the time of planting, which seems to save labor. Furthermore, since crops absorb water and fertilizer efficiently, they are less likely to be stressed, and are expected to increase yield and sugar content. About half of the producers have introduced it since that time, and it seems that not only labor saving but also quality improvement has been realized. Cellular is soft rot, spot plant disease, wilt disease for diseases, armyworm, aphid, Penthaleus erythrocephalus Koch for pests. Is reddish brown). Therefore, it seems that they are aiming to supply safe, high-quality and excellent agricultural products by disinfecting the soil before planting and controlling it in a timely and appropriate manner. Harvesting is done in the morning so that it reaches consumers in a fresher state, and after sorting and boxing by each producer, it is brought to the collection point and shipped to the market on the same day. At the collection point, quality inspections are conducted by inspectors. It seems that once a week, a shipping awareness meeting is held for shippers to unify the awareness of producers and maintain and improve quality. In addition, the name and number of the producer are written on the shipping cardboard, and it seems that a system is in place to respond promptly when there is a problem. The main shipping destinations are the Keihin and Sendai markets. Every February, the officers of the subcommittee visit each market to hold sales review meetings and sales promotion activities to expand contract transactions with an awareness of reproduction prices. In addition to continuous and stable shipments, the subcommittee has unified its intention to set March as the peak shipment period, and seems to be striving for advantageous sales aiming at the off-season of other production areas. In addition, it seems that consumers are always on the side of consumers by strictly adhering to safe use standards for pesticides, recording, checking and storing, and thoroughly raising awareness of food hygiene to prevent contamination by foreign substances. The area of cultivated land by field in 2018 was 29,900 hectares (40th in Japan), and the area of cultivated land per house was 78 ares, which is less than half of the national average. Despite these conditions, autumn-winter crop cultivation has prospered for half a century as a back crop of paddy fields, and typical autumn-winter items are lettuce, current price increases, great crops, and wheat, which is active as a staple food. Broccoli seems to have been introduced in the prefecture for the first time due to the demand for diversified vegetable items in the latter half of the 1965s, which is the latter half of the high growth period. Cultivation began in Tadotsu Town, Nakatado District, and after that, it was cultivated throughout the prefecture, but it seems that the production volume declined temporarily due to the increase in cheap imported broccoli from China and the United States. On the other hand, in the Mitoyo area, it seems that the product value was increased by innovating production technology and devising shipping forms such as ice-packed shipping. I heard that this initiative spread throughout the prefecture and became a representative of autumn / winter items. With the support of mechanization, JA, and the cooperation of the production subcommittee, the current planted area is one of the five largest production areas in Japan. Comparing the broccoli cultivation area in the prefecture in the last 10 years, the production in 2008 was 565 hectares, while the production in 2018 was 1170 hectares, more than doubled. It seems that the background was the fall in rice prices, the abolition of rice and wheat subsidies for management income stabilization measures (former farmer household income compensation system), and the entry of baby boomers into agriculture. In addition, it seems that the acreage has expanded due to the improvement of the support system by JA, the rise in transaction prices due to the high leveling of quality, and the expansion of end consumption. In any case, Kagawa has a small cultivated area and cannot be mass-produced, so it seems that it is trying to differentiate itself from domestic and overseas competing production areas by producing high-value-added crops such as high quality and individualization. The mild climate of Setouchi, also known as the Mediterranean Sea of Japan, seems to be the best environment for growing fruits and vegetables. And it seems that the secret to producing beautiful products is the careful manufacturing of each producer. The tomatoes of the skilled producers introduced this time belong to the Solanaceae family and are perennials in the tropics, but they are annual plants in the temperate zone. The place of origin seems to be said to be the western plateau of South America. It was introduced in Japan in the early 18th century, but it seems that it was treated for appreciation at that time. Until the early Showa period, production was insignificant because it did not suit general tastes, but I heard that the cultivated area increased from around 1935. It was prototyped in a glass greenhouse in Kusugami Town, Takamatsu City around the end of the Taisho era, and it seems that the cultivation area increased with the spread of vinyl greenhouses in the early 1955s. In particular, the spread of ripe round ball varieties “Momotaro Tomato” has led to increased consumption and an increase in cultivated area. In addition, it seems that the variety of tomato cultivation has expanded and the consumption has increased significantly due to the spread of quality-enhancing ingredients such as high sugar content tomatoes, medium-sized tomatoes “midi tomatoes”, and mini tomatoes. It is widely known, and it is said that Tang dynasty and “TOMATO” are used in Japan after the Meiji Era. “Momotaro tomato”, Treetop A large pink ball that does not hurt even when shipped after it is fully ripe. A long-established store from the Edo period --Developed by foundation takii & co., Ltd in 1835. However, new producers are cherry tomatoes (cultivation started around 1985, and it seems that it spread rapidly throughout the prefecture with the advent of minicarols. It reached 43ha in 1990, and it seems that it is gradually decreasing since then. Cultivation is soil cultivation. It has shifted to hydroponic cultivation from, and now 60% seems to be hydroponic cultivation. The main production areas are Tadotsu Town, Sanuki City, Zentsuji City, Takamatsu City, Higashi Kagawa City, etc. The variety is CF Chika (dark red and glossy). A certain fruit color, stable from low to high sugar content, excellent taste. Fruit color is deep red and glossy. Fruit weight is 15 to 20 g. Fruit shape is beautiful spherical and good to match. Goku Wase species Excellent yield in the low temperature period), TY Chika (excellent in taste, glossy fruit color) Stable from low to high sugar content. The fruit color is deep red and glossy. Fruit weight is 15 to 20g. It seems that the fruit shape is a beautiful sphere and the fruit is well-matched. The shape of the calyx is also beautiful, and it looks good when packed. It also seems to be rich in lycopene, a functional ingredient. It seems that the Wase species, which has a stable yield and an early ripening period, has few fluctuations in yield throughout the cultivation period, and stable shipment can be expected). It seems that the production area of large tomatoes is sluggish due to the high selection rate. That is why it is valuable. The main production areas are Sanuki City, Takamatsu City, Kanonji City, etc. Nakayama Sunflower Complex: The blue sky, the mountains of Asan, and over 310,000 pretty and elegant sunflowers. The spacious and spectacular view from the top of the hill is just like summer. Not only for sightseeing, but also as a shooting spot, many people visit from inside and outside the prefecture and from abroad. Also, it seems that 200 yen will be paid as a beautification cooperation fee at the entrance. National high school as a whole to be held in Manno Town, Nakatadori County, Kagawa Prefecture in August 2022 (Venue: Manno Town, Kagawa Prefecture / Sports Center Manno, Manno Town Manno Junior High School, Mt. Kasagata, Mt. Ryuo, Mt. Okawa, Encampment: Manno Town / Kotonami Miraikan, Opening Ceremony on August 5th (Friday) and Closing Ceremony on August 9th (Tuesday) I signed an agreement. At the signing ceremony on April 25, the 15th Infantry Regiment Commander of the Ground Self-Defense Force Zentsuji Camp, the Kagawa Prefectural Board of Education, and the representative of Manno Town signed the agreement. Every year, it seems that the local government that holds the national high school championships has an agreement with the Self-Defense Forces for the safety of the students. It seems that the Self-Defense Forces will provide preliminary inspections of the course, wireless communication, and rescue support in the event of an accident during the competition. In the middle of March 2022, I learned from the media that Kagawa Prefecture in the Shikoku region is planning a project to export rice produced in the prefecture as “Pre-packaged rice” overseas in collaboration with a major company. As the domestic market is expected to shrink, it seems that it is attracting attention as a new initiative aimed at expanding consumption of rice produced in the prefecture by looking overseas.

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

The volume of shipment is second in Japan after Hokkaido. Rice acreage reduction policy (the acreage reduction policy, which was implemented in earnest in 1971 to curb production due to overproduction, was abolished in 2018 after about 50 years of history. In the postwar era of food shortages, rice It would not be an exaggeration to say that raising the production volume was a problem for the entire country.In order to solve this problem, technological innovations such as the introduction of fertilizers and agricultural machinery were promoted. This would lead to a large increase in the production volume of rice. Succeeded.Rice became the staple food of the household both in name and reality. However, after that, common sense gradually collapsed.Because of the influence of the American rule, the Japanese dining table became westernized, and bread became the staple food.) was in full swing, the planted area was expanded, and it became one of the leading production areas. Behind this was the generous support of the Kagawa Prefectural Agricultural Cooperative (JA Kagawa Prefecture). Based on the diversified demand for vegetable items in Kagawa Prefecture, it was started by taking advantage of the Seto Inland Sea climate with mild winters and little annual rainfall. As one of the side crops of rice farming, cultivation started in Tadotsu town in the prefecture and expanded to the whole prefecture, but I heard that it was temporarily overpowered by cheap rice from the United States. In the Heisei period, farmers in Mitoyo City aimed to differentiate themselves from domestically produced freshness and quality seems to have developed.

When comparing the broccoli cultivation area in Kagawa Prefecture over the last 10 years, the 2008 production was 565 hectares, while the 2030 production more than doubled to 1,170 hectares. The background is the decline in rice prices, the abolition of subsidies for rice and wheat as part of measures to stabilize farmer income (former household income compensation system for farmers), and the baby-boom generation (post-war generation born between 1947 and 1949. Born during Japan's first baby boom, the generation that experienced the bubble period and the Heisei recession) seems to have entered agriculture. In addition, the planted area increased due to the improvement of the support system by JA, the rise in transaction prices due to the high standardization of quality, and the expansion of end consumption. When comparing the broccoli cultivation area in Kagawa Prefecture over the last 10 years, the 2008 production was 565 hectares, while the 2030 production more than doubled to 1,170 hectares.  The background is the decline in rice prices, the abolition of subsidies for rice and wheat as part of measures to stabilize farmer income (former household income compensation system for farmers), and the baby-boom generation (post-war generation born between 1947 and 1949).

Located in the northeastern part of Shikoku, with the Sanuki Mountains to the south and the Seto Inland Sea to the north, it is dotted with islands. At the end of the Shikoku pilgrimage (to the 88 temples), a tour of sacred sites, broccoli is a typical crop in Kagawa Prefecture.

The suitable temperature for growing is 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for autumn to early winter in Kagawa Prefecture, so it seems to be an easy item to grow. Producers and JA Kagawa Prefecture have worked together to repeatedly test the cultivation method, and the harvest season is from October to mid-June of the following nine months every year. This is the result of the effort put in by all parties involved in the cultivar testing, so that they can harvest for a long period of time while properly using cultivars such as Wase, Nakate, Okute, and forcing. In addition, I heard that JA Kagawa Prefecture is carrying out three types of support work for producers. First of all, as a "seedling support", we receive orders from producers at the wide-area nursery center in JA Kagawa Prefecture, raise all the seedlings and supply them. This makes it easier to standardize quality. Furthermore, as planting support, we are working to reduce the work burden by contracting the planting work of producers. In addition, we are working to improve facilities so that JA Kagawa Prefecture can handle the packing of harvested broccoli, which has been a heavy burden on producers, and to support the packing of broccoli. The work support allows producers to concentrate on cultivation, which helps individual farmers expand their acreage, which seems to have led to today's increase in planted acreage. In addition, the Broccoli Subcommittee of the Kagawa Prefectural Vegetable and Flower Producers Study Group holds board meetings two to three times a year to report on the status of production and sales.
