Lower-priced reserve rice released

Rice stockpiles are delivered to household equipment maker Iris Ohyama Inc.'s rice polishing plant in Watari in Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan, on May 29, 2025. The Japanese government launched a new scheme to release lower-priced reserve rice harvested in 2021 and 2022 via direct contracts with retailers -- not by the previous auction-based method -- to curb elevated rice prices.
