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. While the variety of dishes on our dining tables has diversified and enriched our lives due to advancements in distribution, rice remains our staple food, and the rise in rice prices has a significant impact on consumer life. Why has the price of rice risen so much now? We will organize the causes and countermeasures from the perspective of the entire supply chain, including production, distribution, and sales. This report will first examine the long-term policy impacts and challenges at the production stage ("Production"), then address structural issues and improvement measures at the distribution stage ("Distribution"), and finally consider demand trends and corporate responses at the sales and consumption stage ("Sales").

Although this discussion pertains to the specific logistics facility of "airport warehouses" and the limited operation of cargo handling from trucks, there were initiatives implemented that are common to general "warehouses." The key point is "collaboration with related businesses."

Hello everyone, nice to meet you. My name is Suzuki from NX Research Institute. I became president in January 2025, and it has already been three months. I was told that writing a blog post is part of my duties, and while I thought about what to write, I struggled with how to create an engaging article for readers given my limited experience in direct logistics. Since worrying about it wouldn't help, I decided to share a different perspective on logistics by incorporating my knowledge and experience, hoping it will be of some reference to all of you.
