＃Eecon８ Stockpiled rice sold in all 47 prefectures.

 ～Three weeks after the '2000 yen declaration', the rice milling factory is operating at full capacity due to a flood of orders～

　As rice stock sales begin in all 47 prefectures, the current issue at hand is 'white rice'. We interviewed wholesalers who are operating at full capacity due to an influx of requests for rice milling.

　Before the store opened, there was a long line formed at the Aeon in Fukuoka City. The main attraction was, as expected, the emergency rice priced at 2,138 yen for 5 kilograms. Due to its popularity, the opening time was moved up. This was the first time that emergency rice was sold through a discretionary contract at Aeon Kyushu's stores.

　Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Shinjiro Koizumi (on the 23rd of last month): "In early June, you will be able to see 2000 yen stockpiled rice in stores."

　Currently, we have increased the staff and are operating at full capacity, and the reality is that it is difficult to handle more than this.

　In my personal opinion, the emergence of stockpiled rice is not something I can simply be happy about. I hope that we can return to a system or state where we can live without the need to draw on stockpiled rice.
