According to statistics from Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the average price of a 5-kilogram bag of rice in the Japanese market was 4,206 yen, a record high for 13 consecutive weeks. According to Japanese media, this means that after the Japanese government put two batches of reserved rice on the market, the rise in rice prices has not been contained. On the 9th, Japanese Prime Minister Ishiwari Shigeru requested that more government reserve rice be put on the market to calm the price of rice.
