i think its too cold there for proper harvesting. they get it from Philipines and Vietnam and Cambodia and some parts of China.
they didn't even eat it. they used it in sushi to preserve the fish and used the rice like a type of napkin they then tossed.

>>508424118
its expensive and no one eats it though besides getting the specific sticky rice for sushi
most is from thailand, jasmine, and basmanti from india
shits cheap and theres more insect parts when its sourced from those areas

>>508421272
They killed not only Military guys caught off guard but also Hospital and Civilian workers in Pearl Harbor.
the bombs were destines from Military Industrial Complex in Koby but it was heavily overcast so they picked Hiroshima. this sadly was mostly civilians
however they tried to kill Hiro Hito but failed and again killed even more civilians.

Totally a "My Bad" situation twice.

>>508419373 (OP)
Because Japs are retarded enough to allow tax rebates for foreigners. So chinks bought a lot of rice, then asked for tax rebates and shipped the products to China.

>>508424523
I meant originally. I saw a documentary on it. they would just use it to keep fish fresh (which is how sushi came about). maybe in the last few hundred years they realized its edible. Its like Tomatoes and Potatoes. people literally thought they were poisonous at one time.
I didn't know California had the climate to grow rice because its a dry climate.

>>508424136
This honestly.

>>508419373 (OP)
They're not out of rice, their (((rice barons))) are forcing the supply of rice to stay low so margins stay high. also known as the (((free market))) where supply will never exceed demand because that's unprofitable.

not that bad

>>508424798
they did this in the USA in the 1950s of forcing Farmers to grow potato and the Government paid them like 5-6 times per weight to not grow wheat or rye. so they could control the market value.

Fuck those jap bitches. California rice is 10x better than their domestic shit. They literally just throw onions sauce and raw fish on it so whats the big deal. Eat the California rice

I think I read something about their government hoarding rice to sell it or some shit. Corruption. but idk.

>>508424284
China has huge warehouses that are specifically designed to stimulate the environment suitable for rice agriculture.
They use a variety of methods to conserve energy and water in order to maintain the crops. They are also modified to adapt better and be more resilient to disease and cold temperatures

>>508424745
They assessed the value of their feudal domains by how much rice they produced. They even had a unit of measurement that was the amount of rice it took to feed one person for a year. The reason they were so absurdly short up until very modern times is because they ate almost nothing but rice.

>>508424984
I freeze it because it grows something really bad if temp incorrect with leftovers. But I don't waste it. I try not to waste a grain because people have starved to death in famine, usually because they don't execute evil leaders that caused famine. Nonetheless, every time I cook rice I make sure every grain gets used.

>I can make cash
Good luck.
You'd expect the rice crisis being due to bad harverst and sudden increase in demand and while those factors do come in, the primary issue is straight up the bad business envirionment. Being a rice farmer is simply awful.
>too many farm owners competing with tiny ass highly inneficient farms for for razor thin margins
>no goverment help (other than tariffs on Californian rice, that nobody cares because it doesn't taste as good)
>only one major distributor (JA) that has a monopoly on the distribution and larger profit margin
>aging farm worker population as most young people move to the city and the few that remain choose more profitable produce other than rice
The rice crisis is a bomb that has been ticking for decades (pretty much since the economic bubble bursted) and it finally went off.
The goverment is trying to keep things under control by selling old rice reserved for disaster relief but in just 3~4 months of doing so it basically exhausted those reserves.
If the japs think things are bad now, they won't believe what's waiting for them on the next harvest, specially with this hot a shit summer.

>>508424798
I know. The "emergency" rice they're currently releasing is from like 2021.

>>508425511
>>508425378
Japan is just hard-mode when it comes to geography:
>shitty, mountainous land
>no resources
>lots of earthquakes & volcanoes
The only thing they had going for them was fishing, but the chinks have ruined that. In all honestly they should have given up farming altogether and simply imported their food from America while focusing on something like manufacturing, but because that has obvious national security concerns they are forced to subsidize farmers via tariffs & benefits. But the subsidies will never be enough to make it a worthwhile endeavor for young people, so no one wants to do it.
That said, JAF and the government are greedy retards and I hope the Rice Riots 2.0 results in these globohomo stooges being thrown out and executed for their crimes agains the japanese people.

We produce some rice here. Too much rain and it's fucked. Too little and it's also fucked.
I generally hate rice and I have no fucking clue why my compatriots like rice so much.
I believe some other countries in the region do produce a shit ton of rice, so much so that their exports hurt our local production because they sell too much and thus making the overall price go down.
Here rice farmers are always complaining about the small profit margins and that the mills charge too much or that the gov doesn't pay them in time if they sell their production to the government rice brand that sells subsidized rice to the locals.

>i think its too cold there for proper harvesting.
You can, you just get one or two harvests less than those places you mentioned.

Youre late. Prices already coming down. Not a real crisis anyway. Fake crisis created by stupid regulations to protect domestic rice producers. At any moment the government could loosen the bridles a bit and the rice price would crash for poors. (Middle and upper class would still buy more expensive domestic rice regardless). They released some from strategic reserve and its already back down to like 3000 per 5kg. Itll normalize at 2500 within a few months which is fine since were having first inflation in like 20 years.

Real problem is the massive increase in pajeet "srudens" everywhere. Theres a fucking naan and curry shop on every fucking corner with stinky pajeets smiling and bobbin their heads so excited tobe shitting up clean Japan. Every playground is about 5-10% jeet kids now. Its fucking over.

Yeah, they've got a lot of mountains. But they could just throw some goats up there and eat them and their dairy products if Buddhism wasn't gay about animals. They could also have a good, sustainable lumber industry so long as they don't go full retard and clear cut everything.
And lacking extractable resources like metals and fossil fuels is probably a good thing for a country like theirs. That usually just means that richfags (often foreign ones) strip the land of its material wealth, destroy it for any other purpose, and leave the people poorly situated to find another means to get by. Even in the US the people who actually live in coal country got fucked by that. Developing human capital is better long term.

Nah it's because the government buys rice direct from the farmers and then sells it to middlemen who sell it to the stores but everybody's been double dipping at least so by the time the rice hits retail it's doubled in price several times.

One controversial mesaure the new minister is taking is bypassing the distributors and selling to retail outlets directly.

he Chinese supermarket is selling Italian noodles with weevils.

But in Argentina, there are no Italian factory-made pastas, only artisanal homemade ones.

The cut of roast called "vacio," or entraña, is popular.

It melts in your mouth.

It's not like North American beef, where it's chopped and seasoned.

Argentine beef is eaten by cutting it into large chunks because it's so tender and juicy

Japs should buy from Taiwan. It's friendly, an ex-colony so there is cultural links, Taiwan could never permanently take a chunk of JP market share like the US if let in, and TW is one of the few in Asia that doesn't look at Japan's imperial stint with massive hostility.

Same applies with their migrant situation.

But like >>508427022 said, instead of being rational an importing other East Asians, psuedo-Asians like central asians or hapas, Europeans, or even SEAsians? Japanese decides to import JEETgoblins.
Pretty much the 2nd worst choice after Africans or Black Americans.
In some ways it might be worse depending on how they are selected.
If they are "srudens" who just run curry places then it's better to just import african athletes. At least you can play the eugenics game and end up with strong athletes for olympics or sports like Naomi Osaka or Rui Hachimura.

>>508428036
That producer will sell it to the government who probably bought it before the harvest even. Then it goes into government rice storage and they will trickle it out sometime in like 2029.

Sure we grow a lot and the rice is actually GOOD since California is less polluted than the long grain style rice grown in the south near places like the end of the Mississippi where decades to centuries of industrial runoff and chemicals have piled up.

But like I said
>Taiwan could never permanently take a chunk of JP market share like the US if let in
Japanese concern with most US food is like Europe's. US food standards are a bit lower and the US is VERY competitive if not outright subsidized. They look at our agriculture like we look a China's manufacturing.
"Special" interest are against allowing too much US entry to protect local farmers because they fear permanent loss of their market share to US producers.

We mostly prohibit the import to protect farmers and JA, but JA are not so popular these days. I think most Japanese except some olders don't mind foreign rice if it's the right grain. The importing tax is high.

The foreign and Japanese blend 5kg bags are about 15 dollars and the Japanese bags are $25 in normal supermarket. It was 15 for Japanese one last year.

Yes, but I mean it's such a cheap food anyway, it's like the cost of water doubling from 1c per L to 2c. Budget wise for a Jap wouldn't the rice price only add less than $5-$10 per week?
