The subsidies are to protect Japanese rice production from countries where the same labour is done for way less. All praise free trade, where poverty is the most exported commodity.
- Tor3 5mo agoJapanese rice is not commonly produced in other countries. And even where they do, the rice is not the same. I eat rice made inside Japan and made outside of Japan, and the latter is a poor substitute.
- jojobas 5mo agoYeah yeah, then there's Komachi from Akita. This doesn't change that without subsidies Japanese farmers would fold to the 3rd world cheaper rice.
