日本购物者争抢政府发放的稻米

@williamho7393
I like how the store line up is polite. Not usually seeing the FOMO situation
 
我喜欢看到商店里排队的人都很有礼貌。通常看不到这种“错失恐惧症”现象。
 
@HoldMyCowsberg
Have you seen Eendians queuing up with or without FOMO?
 
你有没有看到印度人排队，不管有没有错失恐惧症？
 
@ShitSkinsIndian
This is complete opposite from India/Indians. At the 8th Madhya Pradesh Global Investors Summit in Bhopal on February 24-25, 2025, a large crowd rushing to the food counter during lunchtime led to chaos and people scrambling for plates and pushing each other, like savages.
 
这完全与印度/印度人相反。2025年2月24日至25日，在印度博帕尔举行的第八届中央邦全球投资者峰会上，午餐时间大批人群涌向食物柜台，导致混乱，人们争抢餐盘、推搡对方，像野蛮人一样。
 
@OYT0724
Daaayum. Who would've thought Japan was going to suffer from food shortages? In the 90s they used to be the 2nd biggest market in the world. They had so much money and resources that they actually started to threaten American markets. What happened to Japan? That's what decades of failed government looks like. Nobody expected this.
 
哇，谁能想到日本会遭遇粮食短缺？在90年代，他们曾是全球第二大市场。他们拥有如此多的钱和资源，甚至开始威胁美国市场。日本到底怎么了？这就是几十年失败的政府政策。没人预料到这一点。
 
@MrTobi013
It also didn't help that natural disasters often slapped the country more than once a year. Lands got all messed up, crops damaged and needing work that takes a long time to fix....and what you said.
 
这也没有帮助，因为自然灾害往往每年多次袭击这个国家。土地被破坏，农作物受损，需要花很长时间修复……还有你说的那些。
 
@wdfaseer5898
Japanese : Why don't we import cheap rice from Thailand or Vietman ?
Japan goverment : I need the farmers's vote !
 
日本人：为什么不从泰国或越南进口便宜的大米？
日本政府：我需要农民的选票！
 
@MO_AIMUSIC
It's not even Farmers vote, if you're looking at data, Japanese Farmer become less and less, people going to Big City for a better job.
 
这不仅仅是农民选票的问题，如果从数据来看，日本的农民越来越少，人们为了更好的工作机会搬到大城市。
 
@kino9371
government better replan their farmer support system to attract young people who struggle in cities to return. I believe idea of calm village life works since most of them stuck into their homes and live isolated in big cities.
 
政府最好重新规划他们的农民支持系统，吸引在城市挣扎的年轻人回归。我相信宁静的乡村生活的理念有效，因为大多数人都被困在家里，在大城市里过着孤立的生活。
 
@MO_AIMUSIC
It is never an easy job. Japan has limited farmland, and even if it provided food at the world’s best level (which, sadly, Japan’s food standards are actually not higher than most of the world), it still wouldn’t make sense to aim for complete self-sufficiency. Moreover, it is impossible anywhere to suddenly become high-income just by being a farmer.
I strongly believe that instead of clinging to the idea of keeping farmers barely getting by, Japan should consider expanding global food supply channels, improving agricultural automation, and reducing the number of people who need to become farmers. Only by doing so can we make ends meet and truly solve the problem. Forcing people to become farmers by any means is futile.
 
这从来不是一件容易的事。日本的农田有限，即使提供世界上最优质的食物（遗憾的是，日本的食品标准实际上不比世界上大多数国家高），追求完全自给自足也没有意义。而且，无论在哪里，农民不可能凭空变成高收入者。
我坚信，日本应该考虑扩大全球食品供应渠道、改善农业自动化，并减少需要成为农民的人数，而不是死死坚持让农民勉强维持生计。只有这样，才能解决问题。强迫人们成为农民是徒劳的。
 
@johnnypham2850
Japanese rice is unparalleled
 
日本的大米无与伦比。
 
@nurmuhammadwahyudi
forget about limited farmland, when about 400,000 hectare of farmland being unused and There some news about Farmer protesting about JA (Japanese Agriculture Association) for manipulation price for large profit being middleman
Basically agriculture economical system in Japan is broken and corrupt. It was useless talking about incentive, automation and innovation when the system doesn't work
 
别谈有限的农田，当大约40万公顷的农田闲置时，关于农民抗议日本农业协会（JA）为了赚取大量利润操控价格的新闻也屡见不鲜。
基本上，日本的农业经济体系是破裂和腐败的。谈什么激励、自动化和创新都是没用的，因为这个系统根本就行不通。
 
@MO_AIMUSIC
It really depends on what cuisine you're making. Sushi, onigiri, and Japanese don usually use less oil, so Japanese rice is better for those dishes. However, for fried rice or Hainanese chicken, it is not quite suitable due to its stickiness.
 
这真的取决于你做什么菜。寿司、饭团和日式丼饭通常使用较少的油，所以日本米更适合这些菜肴。然而，对于炒饭或海南鸡饭来说，由于其粘性并不太适合。
 
@user-qm7jw
I'm Japanese, but I once tried Thai rice and it was awful. Incidentally, there was a rice shortage in Japan in the 90s, and at that time we imported a lot of rice from Thailand, but most of it was discarded because it didn't suit Japanese tastes. But yeah, I should try Vietnamese rice next
 
我是日本人，但我曾经尝试过泰国米，味道很糟。顺便提一下，90年代日本曾发生过米荒，当时我们从泰国进口了大量米，但大部分都被丢弃了，因为它不适合日本人的口味。不过，的确，下次我应该尝试越南米。
 
@quietwalker63
I think “scramble” is an improper word to describe how the Japanese behaved so well and so organized when they lined up for the rice.
 
我认为“争抢”这个词不太合适，用来描述日本人在排队买米时表现出的井然有序。
 
@studyou1016
surprised that japanese people are not protesting or rioting rn...
with the falling yen prices.
the climbing prices due to all the tourists pushing prices up
their salaries being stagnant
now the rising rice prices
 
惊讶的是，现在日本人竟然没有抗议或暴动...
日元贬值，物价上涨，因为游客推高了物价，工资停滞不前，再加上米价上涨。
 
@LWoodGaming
Rioting would just make it worst.
 
暴动只会让情况更糟。
 
@shogunateball2739
well some people protested against the LDP(the ruling party) and the ministry of finance a few times
 
嗯，有些人曾经反对过自民党（执政党）和财政省，举行过几次抗议。
 
@xanderpiz8770
In what world is blaming the tourism industry for your governments' fiscal mismanagement and lack economic modernisation not the saddest thing? At least the tourism industry is growing and feeding those who are willing to work for it.
 
在什么样的世界里，把你们政府的财政管理不善和缺乏经济现代化归咎于旅游业，不觉得这不是最悲哀的事情吗？至少旅游业在增长，并且养活那些愿意为此工作的人。
 
@johnniewalker7628
This is flipping sad, Japan is or was one of the richest countries on the planet!
 
这真是太悲哀了，日本曾是或曾经是全球最富有的国家之一！

@heythave
If this was a Chinese supermarket, there would be no line. All you would see is a stampede and a rice grab.
 
如果这是中国的超市，根本就没有排队。你看到的只会是一场踩踏和抢米的场面。
 
@MacrosFTW
Noo asian country can survive without affordable rice
 
没有哪个亚洲国家能在没有负担得起的米的情况下生存。
 
@babosing
They only have themselves to blame. They dont want to import rice in order to protect local farmers
 
他们只能怪自己。他们不想进口米是为了保护本地农民。
 
@pbworld7858
What rice they do import is taxed over 700%, including short grain like Basmati. They say Japanese rice is the best, so why are they scared of Basmati?
 
他们进口的米税率超过700%，包括像巴斯马蒂这样的短粒米。他们说日本米是最好的，那为什么害怕巴斯马蒂米呢？
 
@MO_AIMUSIC
And it's not protected their farmers, it only benefit reseller and the bureaucracy themselves.
 
这并没有保护他们的农民，它只让转售商和官僚自己受益。
 
@NeonNoodleNexus
i agree with other short grain rices in general, but basmati is long grain and non-sticky. It's not gonna go well with the dishes the japanese are used to.
 
我同意其他短粒米的观点，但巴斯马蒂米是长粒的，而且不粘。它和日本人习惯的菜肴不太合适。
 
@pbworld7858
True. But they even use Japanese rice in Indian restaurants in Japan.  And not everyone makes Japanese food all the time.
 
确实。但是他们在日本的印度餐馆里也用日本米。而且并不是每个人都一直做日本料理。
 
@iROChakri
Basmti is too smelly. They don't want that in Japan haha
 
巴斯马蒂米味道太大了，他们不想在日本用这个，哈哈。
 
@akshaybisht901
You get variety of rice from India mostly Basmati produce in north India and you can also get thick rice, short grain rice and break rice (used in making kheer). You can get high priced rice to low priced rice, you can also get preboiled rice. Japan should mend the inner corrupt association because the rice peoblwm will occur continuously
 
你可以从印度买到各种米，主要是北印度生产的巴斯马蒂米，你还可以买到粗米、短粒米和破米（用于做米布丁）。你可以买到高价米，也可以买到低价米，还可以买到预煮米。日本应该修复内部的腐败组织，因为米的问题会持续发生。
 
@JasonB808
2000 for 5KG (about 11 pounds) of rice is expensive. Especially for that old lady who likely lives off pension or government assistance.  
The people who selling it don’t actually care about the people. They profiting big off food intended for disaster relief.  
 
2000日元买5公斤（大约11磅）的米很贵。尤其是对于那些可能依赖养老金或政府援助的老奶奶来说。
卖米的人其实并不关心人民。他们通过卖本应用于灾难救援的食品大赚一笔。
 
@pbworld7858
And Japan slaps on a more than 700% tariff on imported rice. Basmati ends up similar in price, so you can imagine how much cheaper it is before it's taxed. Japanese consumers are being ripped off by their own country, especially when it comes to fruits.  And also, this rice is about FOUR years old. It's been sitting there in warehouses. Normally it would be used as animal feed.
 
而且日本对进口米征收超过700%的关税。巴斯马蒂米的价格最终差不多，所以你可以想象它在征税之前有多便宜。日本消费者被自己国家坑了，尤其是在水果方面。而且，这米大约有四年了，已经在仓库里放了这么久。通常它会用作动物饲料。
 
@nulnoh219
The problem is distribution. The government released the stockpiled rice to wholesalers and hope it trickles down instead of doing direct sales. If the Japanese government sells the rice directly to the people at the previous price point, the wholesalers have not choice but to lower their price to compete.
 
问题在于分配。政府将储备的米释放给批发商，并希望它能够逐渐传递下去，而不是直接销售。如果日本政府以之前的价格直接将米卖给人民，批发商就没有选择，只能为了竞争而降低价格。
 
@GetBackTrolling
 no they can wait until the government goes out of stock
 
不，他们可以等政府米卖完。
 
@Benny-tx5qd
The reason is that the monopoly protection agency has lost a lot of money in the bond market:
2024 Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said on Wednesday that a panel of outside experts will investigate how bonds held by the Central Treasury of Agriculture and Forestry, Japan's largest agricultural bank, have accumulated huge paper losses.
The action was taken jointly by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries with the Financial Services Agency of Japan after the Central Treasury of Agriculture and Forestry warned that it could post a loss of 1.5 trillion yen (about $10.5 billion) in the current fiscal year due to the sale of unprofitable foreign bonds.
 
原因是垄断保护机构在债券市场亏了很多钱：
2024年，日本农业、林业和渔业省周三表示，一个外部专家小组将调查农业和林业中央财政所持债券如何积累了巨额账面亏损。
此举是由日本农业、林业和渔业省与日本金融服务局共同采取的，原因是农业和林业中央财政警告称，由于出售不盈利的外国债券，可能在当前财政年度录得1.5万亿日元（约合105亿美元）的亏损。
 
@exkurop
The key issue is Japan's agricultural cooperative, Nōkyō（JA）. It's a powerful and massive monopoly that exploits both farmers and consumers. Farmers who don't comply can't sell their rice. They even consider the current high rice prices reasonable. When the government released reserve rice, Nōkyō monopolized the purchase of most of it and continued to hoard, leading to persistent shortages for consumers. Nōkyō is so deeply entrenched in Japan that politicians and media are afraid to challenge it. The same Japanese rice is sometimes sold overseas at prices lower than in Japan. It's absolutely crazy.
 
关键问题是日本的农业合作社，农协（JA）。这是一个强大且庞大的垄断组织，剥削着农民和消费者。不遵守的农民无法销售他们的稻米。农协甚至认为目前的高米价是合理的。当政府释放储备米时，农协垄断了大部分购买，并继续囤积，导致消费者持续缺米。农协在日本深深扎根，政治家和媒体都害怕挑战它。相同的日本米有时会以低于日本国内的价格出口到海外。这简直是疯狂。
 
@harmonk8012
In America, we have a ritual called Black Friday.  Welcome Japanese, this is your Black Friday!!!
 
在美国，我们有一个叫做“黑色星期五”的传统。欢迎日本人，欢迎来到你们的黑色星期五！！！
 
@RedMangoPandaMackie
Atleast the black friday is still not chaotic while in US people scrambling around like zombies for a toilet paper lol.
 
至少黑色星期五还不算混乱，而在美国，人们像僵尸一样争抢厕纸，哈哈。
 
@lolcatjunior
But black Friday is a discount for expensive items like iPhone or PS5 or Louie Vatton bags. Not for rice.
 
但是黑色星期五是针对像iPhone、PS5或者路易威登包这种贵重物品的打折，不是针对大米。
 
@harlan3103
Don't mind me, I'm just waiting for the crazies to start blaming China for the rice shortage.
 
别在意我，我只是等着看那些疯狂的人开始把大米短缺怪罪到中国身上。
 
@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623
It comes down to farmers and wholesalers selling it abroad for a lot of money. It doesn't work like that because you are getting rid of food in your country and helping a hostile country so you end up with nothing to eat. Someone made a lot of money.
 
问题归根结底是农民和批发商把大米卖到国外赚了很多钱。这样做不行，因为你是在把本国的食物卖掉，帮了一个敌对国家，结果自己国家的人吃不上饭。有人赚了很多钱。
 
@alvinhong3469
Japanese doesn’t have enough rice to sell ? But in many countries u could buy rice from jp in many countries.. exporting Japanese rice ???  I dun get it? So their rice is exported & locals doesn’t have rice to eat
 
日本没有足够的大米卖？但在许多国家你可以买到日本米...出口日本米？？？我不明白。难道他们的大米被出口了，本地人却没米吃？
 
@LaoBeijing-368
As a Chinese, the way Japanese people queue politely and with respect is just outstanding. Their moral values are the top of the world.
 
作为一个中国人，日本人排队的礼貌和尊重真是太棒了。他们的道德价值观是世界上最顶尖的。
 
@TheBigExclusive
This was caused by 3 things:
1. Poor rice harvests in 2023 and 2024 due to bad weather
2. Massively increased demand for rice due to tourism from visitors in recent years.
3. Japanese government t reduced the amount of farmland for growing rice in order to build houses.
The government didn't properly anticipate increased rice demands or poor harvests happening multiple years in a row.
Japanese government has a rice reserve for situations like this, but they should fix the farmland issue going forward. It's better to have extra rice than not enough.
 
这次问题是由三个因素引起的：
2023年和2024年由于恶劣天气导致的稻米歉收
近年来由于旅游业的兴旺，稻米需求大幅增加
日本政府为了建房子减少了种植稻米的土地面积
政府没有很好地预测到需求增加和多年的歉收情况。
日本政府有稻米储备应对这种情况，但他们应该从现在开始解决土地问题。最好有多余的稻米，而不是稻米不够。
 
@ivantan5690
The younger generation are also not that keen to go into farming.... So the current pool of farmers are generally in their 60s or 70s
 
年轻一代也不太愿意从事农业工作……所以目前的农民大多是60或70岁左右。
 
@NeonNoodleNexus
The issue that is causing this is not aging farmers or not enough farmers. Its because the government limits how much rice farmers are allowed to produce in order to artificially keep japanese rice prices high. Now they have an unforeseen bad harvest so they dont have enough supply. They have capacity to grow more if the government lets them.
 
造成这个问题的原因不是老龄化的农民或农民数量不足。问题是政府限制了稻米生产的数量，以人为地保持日本稻米价格高昂。现在他们遭遇了预料之外的歉收，导致供应不足。如果政府允许，农民有能力种植更多稻米。
 
@Hay8137g
Such rations, how will they stretch it?
 
这种配给量，他们怎么能撑得住呢？

Each rice crisis brings a new government to the country
 
每一次稻米危机都会带来一个新的政府。
 
@thyjackal4156
The root cause of all this which dues the yen and causes rice prices to skyrocket.................... it is  the United States interest rates.
 
所有这些导致日元贬值并使稻米价格飙升的根本原因……是美国的利率。
 
@chrysllerryu4171
Japanese are allergic to foreign rice, yet they local production are dwindling, more youngsters ignore farming and flock to the cities
 
日本人对外国稻米过敏，但他们的本地生产正在减少，越来越多的年轻人忽视农业，涌向城市。
 
@ShitSkinsIndian
This is complete opposite from India/Indians. At the 8th Madhya Pradesh Global Investors Summit in Bhopal on February 24-25, 2025, a large crowd rushing to the food counter during lunchtime led to chaos and people scrambling for plates and pushing each other, like savage
 
这与印度/印度人完全相反。在2025年2月24日至25日举行的第八届中央邦全球投资者峰会期间，午餐时，大量人群涌向食品摊位，导致混乱，人们争抢盘子并互相推搡，简直像野蛮人。
 
@JonTan-z3e
shouldnt they save the stockpiles for emergencies and just import rice to keep prices down and fulfill excess demand?
 
他们不是应该把储备粮留作应急使用吗，直接进口稻米来保持价格稳定并满足过剩的需求？
 
@xanderpiz8770
With what money? The Japanese economy has been stagnating since the 1990s.
 
用什么钱呢？日本经济自1990年代以来一直停滞不前。
 
@JonTan-z3e
its rice bro.....not printing trillions....im sure countries like japan or china are well beyond the stages of not being able to afford cheap staple commodities like rice.....
 
这只是稻米……又不是印刷万亿纸币……我相信像日本或中国这样的国家早就不至于买不起像稻米这样的基本食物了……
 
@ChaseddiHondo
Honestly Japanese people are the best in dealing with these handouts. People always get trampled in my country over the idea of free things
 
老实说，日本人真的是处理这种配给最好的。每当我国家有免费东西时，人们总是会被踩踏。

@kokliangchew3609
As the Japanese Agriculture Minister said, prices are high as they refuse to let in imported rice to lower it. That's the agriculture lobby for you. I would have thought that the need of the many outweigh the need of a few?
 
正如日本农业部长所说，价格高是因为他们拒绝让进口稻米进入以降低价格。这就是农业游说团的影响。我本以为多数人的需求应该优先于少数人的需求？
 
@MrTobi013
I guess they want to stick to pure Japanese rice and as usual, what they know and can trust. This notion does have some down sides as we can see.
 
我猜他们想坚持使用纯正的日本米，像往常一样，他们信任并依赖自己知道的东西。这种想法确实有一些弊端，正如我们所看到的。
 
@R0DSTER
from what i could briefly find, it seems that it's not so much an issue of refusing imported rice, it is more so government policy encouraging the reduction of land for rice that has led to this...seems that they purposely kept prices from going too low in order for big farms to not outprice smaller farms, by encouraging bigger farms to reduce rice growing. and now they're here
 
从我简要找到的信息来看，这似乎不是拒绝进口大米的问题，更多的是政府政策鼓励减少水稻种植面积所导致的...看起来他们故意让价格不至于过低，以避免大农场把小农场挤垮，通过鼓励更大的农场减少水稻种植。现在他们就陷入了这种困境。
 
@pbworld7858
Let the people have a choice. If they think Japanese rice is best, then they'll buy only Japanese rice. Why are they scared of foreign rice. Personally I think Basmati is SO much better. Fragrant, light and healthier.
 
让人们有选择。如果他们认为日本米最好，那他们就会只买日本米。为什么要害怕外国米？就我个人而言，我觉得巴斯马蒂米好得多。香气扑鼻，轻盈且更健康。
 
@Collector_Phil
you keep talking about basmati rice all the time on these comments, you don’t even understand that Japanese food does not match the taste of basmati; and I actually love basmati rice with cuisines that fit it like Indian, Thai etc. which I also love. Japanese food taste best with Japanese rice. Stop talking about basmati rice when we we’re talking about the Japanese.
 
你总是在评论中提到巴斯马蒂米，你根本不明白日本菜和巴斯马蒂米的味道根本不搭。我其实也很喜欢巴斯马蒂米，和印度菜、泰国菜等非常配。我也喜欢这些菜，但日本菜最好搭配日本米。别再提巴斯马蒂米了，我们现在讨论的是日本米。
 
@pbworld7858
So why is Japan putting 700% tariffs on Basmati rice then? Are they scared? Also, can you not understand that not every restaurant in Japan does Japanese cuisine? There are many Indian/Pakistani restaurants in Japan. Do you actually live in Japan?
 
那为什么日本要对巴斯马蒂米征收700%的关税呢？是害怕吗？另外，你难道不明白并不是所有在日本的餐馆都做日本料理吗？在日本有很多印度/巴基斯坦餐馆。你真的是住在日本吗？
 
@pbworld7858
You only put 700% tariff if you're scared of the competition. If Basmati is not popular (and I'm sure it's not for most Japanese), then why the HUGE tariffs?
 
如果巴斯马蒂米不受欢迎（我相信大多数日本人不喜欢），那为什么要征收这么高的关税呢？
 
@Collector_Phil
I’m surprised at your reaction, I live in Japan for 17 years. The best Indian restaurants I know and Thai restaurants too, they all use basmati rice, but there are also a lot, surely the majority by far, of Indian and Thai restaurants for example, that use Japanese rice only. This might change with the current price situation which is utterly ridiculous and created by greed within Japan and nothing else.
 
我对你的反应感到惊讶，我在日本已经生活了17年。我知道的最好的印度餐厅和泰国餐厅都使用巴斯马蒂米，但也有很多印度和泰国餐厅，应该占绝大多数，只使用日本米。随着当前价格情况的变化，这种情况可能会改变，这完全是由日本的贪婪造成的，别无他因。
 
@mustafasoylemem2490

@TD-yj8ch
The Japanese have a misguided preoccupation with their own rice. I get the like the texture but the same rice can be found in northeast China and is actually imported into Japan but labeled as Japanese rice. Both rices yield one crop a year unlike the south so it is tastier.
 
日本人过度关注他们自己的米。我知道他们喜欢它的口感，但同样的米在中国东北也有，实际上是进口到日本的，只是标上了“日本米”的标签。这两种米每年只收获一次，不像南方的米，所以更美味。
 
@zlonewolf
2000 yen is only 13.98 usd. That looks like a 15 lb bag. About 1 usd per lb.
Here in the us that bag would be $30. Jasmine rice in the us is not $1 a lb like this rice in Japan but about 2$ a pound or 2x.
Japan currency is bad but these rice are homegrown and should be cheaper than imports meanwhile us getting import rice thats twice as expensive and at lower quality than that which Japanese get.
 
2000日元仅为13.98美元。看起来是一个15磅的袋子，大约1美元每磅。
在美国，这个袋子可能要30美元。美国的茉莉香米不像日本这种米，每磅不到1美元，而是大约2美元一磅，差不多是两倍。
日本货币贬值，但这些米是本地种植的，应该比进口米便宜，而美国则进口米，价格是两倍而且质量比日本的差。
