According to statistics released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Japan, from September 8 to September 14, the average price of a bag of 5 kilograms of rice on the Japanese market was 4275 yen (approximately 205.5 yuan), which increased for three consecutive weeks, approaching the record high of 4285 yen (approximately 206 yuan) per bag of rice created by Japan in May this year.

According to the Japanese media, the emergence of a new round of rice "rise" on the one hand because of the relatively high price new rice began to market pushing the overall price, and on the other hand because of the reduction of government reserve rice supply at par price.

Since the summer of 2024, rises have continued to rise in Japan due to factors such as extreme heat and rice harvesting.
