Blog article "Considering the Rice Crisis of the Reiwa Era from the Perspective of SCM 1"

The price of domestic rice (edible rice) has skyrocketed, leading to a situation that has even been reported as the "Reiwa Rice Crisis." Starting around the summer of 2024, rice became scarce, and retail prices began to rise sharply, with the crisis reigniting in 2025.
