In JA Yasato Ishioka City’s Hachigo district, it seems that they are particular about shipping at a time when they are almost fully ripe when designating a brand production area in Ibaraki Prefecture. It seems that they are cultivated mainly in “Kosui pear” and “Hosui pear”. The impression is that new varieties are being cultivated one after another. Brand name Ishioka City (Yasato district) The item name is pear. Shipping organization name, JA Yasato Pear Subcommittee designated period July 25, 2019-July 24, 2022 Introducing the production area. In collaboration with JA Shin-Hitachino Ishioka Pear Subcommittee, a high sugar content differentiated product “Arinomi (meaning pear. In the old days, people who had good luck called pear at a happy seat, etc. means none)” Seems to be selling. The installation rate of multipurpose disaster prevention nets is one of the highest in the prefecture, and it is famous as a production area that is resistant to meteorological disasters and has high quality and stable production.
Pear cultivation in the YASATO area began in the early Meiji era and is blessed with soil conditions, climatic conditions, and geographical conditions located within 70 km from the large consumption area of Tokyo. Currently, Kosui Pear, Hosui Pear, and Niitaka Pear are the main varieties, and the cultivation area. With 170 ha, it is famous as one of the prefecture’s leading red-free producing areas. JA Yasato Pear Subcommittee was established in 1991, and improvements were made such as improvement of production technology, unification of quality standards, unification of organization, improvement of sales and distribution, and was designated as a fruit and vegetable brand production area in Ibaraki Prefecture in May 1992. It seems that the shipping system by machine fruit sorting at the fruit sorting plant is also substantial. We strive for high quality leveling such as long-term shipment from advanced shipment by introducing simple green house cultivation technology to new higher okute species, installation of multipurpose disaster prevention network, promotion of low pesticide cultivation by using pheromone agent, administration of organic fertilizer, etc. A stable supply of high-quality, delicious pears.
At JA Yasato Obata Pear Fruit Sorting Center, the fruit sorters who cultivated their eyes by conducting daily training select the pears that arrive from the producers who produce pears within a radius of 5 km from the fruit sorting plant. It seems that about 85,000 cases of pears are being shipped. Akizuki Pear, a new variety that was just registered in 2001 and has a dense flesh, high sugar content and abundant juice, seems to have been added to the fruit selection since 2010. The Yasato district of Ishioka City has been designated as a designated pear brand production area since 1992, and all producers have acquired eco-farmers, so it seems that they are making pears with a high level of awareness. I heard that the JA Yasato Pear Subcommittee strictly controls the use of pesticides. Producers are obliged to submit a cultivation record table that shows the history of pesticide use, and it seems that shipping will be suspended if there is even one excess. At the time of shipment, skilled veteran fruit sorters also gather at the Obata pear fruit sorting plant, check the shape, color, scratches and pest damage, and sort into 3 grades of “excellent”, “beautiful” and “MUJI”, and then size. Is sorted and packed in a box. It seems that everything will be shipped to the Keihin market except for selling at the direct sales office.
