コメ輸出、３０年に３５万トン　８倍に拡大、基本計画案答申―農水省審議会

　食料・農業・農村政策審議会（農林水産相の諮問機関）は２７日、昨年の食料・農業・農村基本法（農基法）改正を踏まえ、新たな基本計画案を江藤拓農水相に答申した。コメの輸出について、２０３０年にパックご飯や米粉も含めて３５．３万トンと、２４年の４．６万トンから約８倍に拡大させる目標などを盛り込んだ。
　国内ではコメの需給逼迫（ひっぱく）懸念が高まり、価格上昇を招いている。輸出向けに生産を拡大することで、国内に不足が生じた場合には、輸出分から回すなど供給の柔軟性を確保する効果も見込む。（2025/03/27-18:44）

Japan should aim to boost annual rice exports, including packaged rice and rice flour, to 353,000 tons in 2030, up eightfold from last year, a government panel has said.
   The target is included in a draft five-year basic plan for food, agriculture and rural areas submitted by the Council of Food, Agriculture and Rural Area Policies to agriculture minister Taku Eto on Thursday. The advisory panel for the minister drew up the draft following last year's revision of the basic law on food, agriculture and rural areas.
   Domestic rice prices keep rising amid growing concern about supply shortages. Increasing rice production for exports would help expand supply flexibility as rice intended for foreign markets could be diverted for domestic consumption in case of a domestic rice shortage.
   The basic plan, revised every five years, includes specific measures that will be taken under the government's basic policy on agriculture, as well as food self-sufficiency and other targets.
   In the draft, the government's target for the calorie-based food self-sufficiency rate remains unchanged at 45 pct for fiscal 2030, up from 38 pct in fiscal 2023.
