I wrote last week that the demand of some agricultural products such as fruits, beef and sake decreased due to coronavirus outbreak.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) started to subsidy to producers and distributors of these agricultural products.
Distributor of sake rice can get half of storage cost from MAFF.
Producers of beef or fruits can get within half of cost below
(1) Cooking ingredients and shipping costs for children’s restaurant
(2) Shipping cost for internet sales
(3) Cook ingredients and package costs if a restaurant starts a new delivery service
(4) Cooking ingredients and shipping costs at a farmers market if a farmer starts a marketing activity.
