台風１９号の農林水産被害、１０００億円超＝さらに拡大へ

　農林水産省は２５日、台風１９号による農林水産関係の被害が午前７時時点で１０２７億３０００万円に上ったと発表した。農作物のほか、用水路など農業施設で大きな被害が発生。調査ができていない地域も多く、全容が明らかになっていないため、被害額はさらに膨らむ見通しだ。
　同省が被災した３８都府県からの報告をまとめた。農作物は長野や福島、群馬を含む２９府県で、コメやリンゴ、キュウリなどで計８５億６０００万円の被害を受けた。農地・農業用施設関係は５０９億６０００万円の被害が確認された。（2019/10/25-17:26）

Damage caused to Japan's agriculture, forestry and fisheries industries by a recent powerful typhoon reached 102.73 billion yen as of Friday morning, the agriculture ministry said.
   The amount is based on reports from 38 of the country's 47 prefectures that were hit by Typhoon Hagibis, which struck mainly eastern and central Japan on Oct. 12-13. The 19th typhoon of the year inflicted serious damage to crops and agricultural facilities, including irrigation channels.
   The total amount is expected to rise because many local governments are still unable to examine the extent of damage.
   Twenty-nine prefectures, including Nagano, Fukushima and Gunma, suffered 8.56 billion yen in damage on farm crops, such as rice, apples and cucumbers, according to the ministry. Damage to farmland and agricultural facilities stood at 50.96 billion yen.
   Supplies of farm crops, mainly cucumbers and eggplants, are decreasing, agriculture minister Taku Eto said at a press conference Friday.
