Even with the arrival of new rice, the price of rice continues to rise. The September consumer price index, which measures price movements of goods and services and excludes fresh food, which is highly volatile, was up 2.4% compared to the same month in 2023, marking the 37th consecutive month of price increases. The number of items that increased increased to 394 out of 522 items. Rice, which had been suffering from a shortage of stocks, rose 44.7%, the largest increase in 49 years since September 1975.

>>2 I saw rice piled up in the supermarket yesterday and it said “Milled in early October” I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I don’t think they’d repackage rice that’s already been milled and packaged Some people are saying things like “Rice is too expensive, I’m not buying anymore, yelling”, but it seems like most people just buy rice at the supermarket I wonder if the people who are saying “I’m not buying anymore, yelling” eat 28 yen udon or pasta that’s less than 30 yen per 100g every day.
>>2 The amount sold per year… The amount to sell is fixed, so they just polish 1/50 of the rice every week and put it on the shelves lol… I guess that’s the extent of the rice mill’s capabilities They have a sales period of about a month so they can absorb it, and if the stock in the stores increases, they just stop polishing I think the current rice turmoil is because consumers hoarded and this cycle went haywire.
The true purpose of Abenomics is to just raise prices and squeeze the people dry, so it can’t be helped. So you guys are going to vote for the traitorous Abe Shinzo LDP???
LDP (a gathering of upper-class citizens): “Let’s completely escape deflation!” Citizens: “You know… inflation is so bad that we can’t even eat rice properly…”
It’s possible that we’re not experiencing “rising prices” but rather “uncontrollable currency depreciation.” It’s not on the same level as Turkey, but I think we’re getting close.
It’s almost November, but rice is still over 3,000 yen for 5 kg. The price shows no sign of settling down. Did the Agriculture Minister say something inappropriate again?
