Tridge summary

Typhoon No. 15 caused significant damage to Japan's leading agricultural production areas, including Chiba and Ibaraki, resulting in a chronic labor shortage due to self-quarantine measures related to the coronavirus. The disaster has severely affected loquat production and facility restoration, with estimated damages reaching 113.9 billion yen. The Chiba-based Biwa Union Federation has seen a reduction in loquat production by half, and the prefecture is subsidizing fallen tree removal costs. The recovery progress is slow due to the shortage of contractors and materials, with some areas expecting to plant 55 hectares this fall, maintaining the same planting volume as last year. Farmers are considering reinforcing facilities to better withstand future disasters and plan to recover step by step through high-quality production and increased unit prices.
