Nagano Prefecture boasts the highest production in Japan, and the shipment of the flower "Ranunculus", which is also popular as a gift, is at its peak.
Ranunculus is a flower with abundant colors and shapes. Larger ones have a diameter of about 20 cm and are popular as wedding bouquets and graduation gifts because of their gorgeousness.
In Nagano Prefecture, which is the number one producer of ranunculus in Japan, where more than 4 million ranunculus are cultivated annually, shipments have reached their peak from this month, and farmers in Matsumoto City are carrying out shipping work.
On the 14th, more than 100 kinds of harvested ranunculus were collected, and farmers divided them according to standards and colors, bundled them, and packed several of them in bags.
According to this farmer, the fuel cost for maintaining the temperature inside the house has increased by about 30% from the usual year due to the continuous rise in crude oil prices.
Shintaro Uejo, president of a farmer's production company, said, "I was worried because of the unseasonable weather, but the result was good. Today is Valentine's Day, but I think you will be pleased if you give it back to White Day. I was talking.
Ranunculus cultivated in the prefecture will be shipped domestically and internationally, and the shipping work of this production company will continue until the end of next month.
