      Meanwhile, 5KG of Koshihikari rice コシヒカリfrom Niigata prefecture sells for $20USD in the US with almost unlimited quantity available. How bizarre is this.

      The government needs to subsidize rice. It actually won’t cost that much money.

      The fact is, the rice farmers are wanting to make money, and that’s not going to change. The government actually purposefully reduced the production of rice, because the trend was that the “Japanese people are eating less rice”. And now we have this.
