The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has calculated that due to the decline in the number of farmers, there is a risk that 920,000 hectares of farmland will no longer be cultivated by 2030 compared to 2020. This is larger than the total farmland area of the Tohoku region (810,000 hectares in 2012). In particular, much of the farmland will no longer be cultivated for land-intensive crops or fruit trees. In order to preserve farmland, the ministry plans to set new targets for the number of farms and the scale of operations for each type of farming item in the next Basic Plan for Food, Agriculture, and Rural Areas, which will be formulated in spring next year.

>>1 Japanese farmers have small farming scales compared to other countries. Average farm size in each country ・France: 52.1ha ・Germany: 45.7ha ・England: 53.8ha ・Spain: 23.8ha ・Italy: 7.6ha ・Japan: 1.7ha To maintain low rice prices, it is necessary to intensify and scale up agriculture, and to achieve this, it is necessary to abolish preferential treatment for small-scale farmers and designate areas for agricultural production in urban planning (municipalities will protect waterways and designate areas where unpleasant odors from fertilizers are acceptable).
>>5 If there is a labor shortage, immigration is the only option. People who don’t like immigrants should quit their jobs and start farming now. If they can do the farming, it’s fine if it’s a foreigner. Or local kids can do it.
My dream is to live in a one-story house with a garden, grow a variety of vegetables and citrus fruits in the mountain behind my house, and live a quiet and peaceful life.
>>8 That’s right. All you have to do is produce the minimum amount plus a little more at the minimum cost. The vision for the future is to eliminate farmers with a tendency to extort and have production managed semi-governmentally and semi-privately.
The recent rice shortage is due to the rice production reduction policy (which still continues to be subsidized for crop conversion) promoted by the Liberal Democratic Party’s agriculture and forestry faction and agricultural cooperatives.
It’s not a poor harvest or inbound tourism, it’s the “real reason” why people can’t buy rice.
Rice farmers in Honshu have too many small, low-productivity farms of 1 or 2 hectares, so it’s no wonder they’re in the red. The proportion of farmland in the mountainous areas of Hokkaido and Honshu is almost the same at 40%, and Hokkaido also has a lot of mountains. However, the average cultivated land area per household in Hokkaido and Honshu is more than 10 times larger.
They’re not complaining about the quantity being insufficient, they’re complaining about not being able to get it cheaply. With the money that’s left over from farmers being forced to sell at low prices, are they going to eat out or send stupid kids to cram school with it? They should just sell it to people who are willing to pay for it. What do you mean, support by eating? The people who should really be supporting the producers are the ones who need to be supported, not the service industry. Eat some millet or barnyard millet.
>>24 You know, they put stupid tariffs on cheap foreign rice to protect farmers. If those tariffs were abolished, Japanese rice farmers would be wiped out within two years. I guess only the producers of Sasanishiki rice would be able to make a decent profit by selling it to sushi restaurants.
I’m thinking of quitting my job when I’m over 65 and living a leisurely life farming in the suburbs of Chiba, so please come up with a good system for me in 20 years’ time.
>>Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries estimates What are you talking about when you’re doing nothing but destroying farmers? This is also part of the plan to destroy Japan All high-quality food was targeted Rice farmers were threatened with subsidies if they stopped The healthy red yeast rice is still fresh in our memory.
>>53 That’s why people take advantage of you If there are no more people doing farming, farmers will prosper, and people who don’t want to farm won’t have to It’s better for agriculture if you don’t force yourself to help out on farming.
