Taiyo Sumomo is famous as a variety that was discovered in Yamanashi Prefecture and named in 1969, although its provenance is unknown. The weight of the fruit is around 140 g, the flesh is moist and dense, and the seeds are well separated and easy to eat. When fully ripe, the skin becomes a beautiful purple color, and the acidity is removed moderately, giving it a strong sweetness that is loved by men and women of all ages.
The Minami-Alps City is the largest producer of Japanese plums in Japan, and has a long history. In the vast field of over 100 hectares, it seems that you can see a dream-like scene where the whole area is filled with pure white flowers during the flowering season. In addition, plums cultivated in the city are recommended to be harvested at the proper ripeness, so they are very popular for their juiciness, well-balanced sweetness and sourness, and refreshing taste.
In JA Minami Alps City, we have introduced high-performance crime prevention equipment that allows us to grasp the situation of the fields even from a distance for the farmers who are encouraged and work hard every day. In fiscal 2022, there will be 12 cases of fruit tree theft in the Southern Alps city, and at least 1,500 pieces of fruit will be damaged, worth 1 million yen. According to the prefectural police, there were 37 cases of the theft of fruits such as peaches and grapes in the prefecture up to August 1, worth about 7.5 million yen. In response to this situation, the prefecture and the JA have announced that they will subsidize the cost of purchasing security cameras to be installed in the field in June. The city has decided to purchase the latest security cameras, and on August 5, about 80 local farmers participated in a briefing session on the functions of the cameras. In addition, it seems that they are strengthening their vigilance with high-performance security equipment and 500 security cameras that have already been purchased due to concerns about the loss of seeds grown in Japan overseas.
