日本多地近期“大米荒”持续,地方政府、零售商和消费者纷纷呼吁中央政府尽快投放储备米,以缓解供应紧张。农林水产省官员8月30日表示不会采取这一措施,称投放储备米恐对大米流通造成影响。日本部分地区7月开始出现大米供应严重短缺,现已波及更多地区。
大阪府上周实施的一项紧急调查显示,当地约80%的零售店大米断货。类似情况也出现在埼玉县、福冈县、大分县和广岛县等地。在一些超市,大米上架仅约30分钟就被抢购一空,不得不实施限购措施。首都东京不少超市也出现大米短缺。大阪府知事吉村洋文8月26日呼吁农林水产省投放政府储备大米,称在供应紧张背景下“没必要让大米在仓库里沉睡”。零售商和消费者支持这一主张,认为现阶段“正是投放储备米的时机”。
日本农林水产大臣坂本哲志8月30日在记者会上表示,新米即将上市,农林水产省不会投放储备米,以免影响大米流通。针对民众批评中央政府应对“大米荒”迟缓,他称“不认为为时已晚”。日本上一次出现“大米荒”还是在1993年。
当时,日本因天气原因大米大幅减产,政府紧急从国外进口约259万吨大米。按日本媒体说法,这次再度出现“大米荒”一方面因为去年夏季酷暑导致大米减产,另一方面因为外国游客人数增加推动大米需求增长。此外,日本气象厅本月早些时候发布日本东部太平洋南海海槽大地震发生可能性增高的提示,引发部分民众大量购买和囤积大米。

"Wow, this is a really interesting article! 🤔 It's shocking to hear that Japan is experiencing a "big rice shortage" (aka "大米荒")! 😱 I had no idea that it was affecting so many areas, including major cities like Tokyo and Osaka. 🌆 The photos of empty shelves and long lines for rice are quite striking. 💡
I'm curious to know more about the impact on everyday people in Japan. How is this affecting their daily lives? Are there any creative solutions or workarounds being implemented?
