During his visit to Kagoshima Prefecture, Prime Minister Kishida announced a policy to include the establishment of a new support system for livestock farmers in the comprehensive economic measures to be compiled within this month. Prime Minister Kishida: “We must strengthen our production base by domestically producing feed and expanding the use of compost as a fertilizer. We must also steadily increase our earning power by strengthening exports.” In addition to visiting Kirishima City in the prefecture to attend a competition to compete for the “best wagyu beef in Japan”, they also had a roundtable discussion with wagyu beef producers. Prime Minister Kishida acknowledged that the Japanese beef industry is in a difficult situation due to soaring feed prices and other factors, and announced the establishment of a new support system to expand the use of domestic feed. He also indicated that he would work to expand exports of agricultural, forestry and fishery products by taking advantage of the yen’s depreciation, such as expanding support for beef exports.
