Special product pears fall in large quantities Chiba Katori September 10 18:27
Due to Typhoon No.15, Katori City, Chiba Prefecture has suffered damage from the fall of a special pear.
Katori City, Chiba Prefecture, has a thriving production of pears, and more than 40 farmers cultivate it.
Of these, at Kashiri Okura, Katori City, a large amount of “Yoshimizu” and “Shintaka”, which had been ready for harvest after the typhoon, fell. On the 10th, Hiroyuki Hirayama, a farmer who was one of the local pear production associations and served as the union chief, was busy with the work of transferring pears to containers.
This typhoon was so windy that not only pear fruits but also many leaves had fallen, so there are concerns about the impact on harvesting next year.
Mr. Hirayama said, “In the peak of shipping, the impact of the typhoon is great. Not only did the fruits fall, but also the damage that fell to the leaves, it will affect the way flowers and buds come out next year. I ’m worried that it ’s going to be affected. ”
