On the 9th, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries released the results of a survey on the percentage of farmland that will have no successors decided 10 years from now.
In 17 prefectures, including Gunma, the percentage exceeds 50% and reaches 62% in Gunma.
The national average is 31.7%, and if this trend continues, there is a risk that abandoned farmland will become more widespread.
Gunma Prefecture is supporting the consolidation of farmland and the expansion of farming scale through subsidies and other means.
The Agricultural Structure Policy Division commented, "We would like to support the protection of farmland by providing farmland to motivated producers and promoting corporate entry."
