To był jeden z głównych tematów rozmów, Panie Adrianie. Średni wiek rolnika japońskiego to 68 lat, a mimo wszystko dają radę. Maja 4 mln ha ziemi na 125 mln ludności i w ryżu są samowystarczalni. Ale dużo rzeczy chętnie od nas kupią. https://n.respublicae.eu/PacynaAdrian/status/1676707092936159233

Adrian Pacyna: @jwojc Cieszy ta misja. Jednak na jej marginesie wypadałoby przedyskutować ich problemy demograficzne- zwłaszcza wsi i sposoby na radzenie sobie z nimi. Czeka nas to samo, a nie ma co wyważać otwartych drzwi. https://t.co/RMDbLJDQva

A privilege to visit the beautiful Daizenji Temple, a sacred site whose history is entwined with the cultivation of Koshu grapes.
Just like our monastic brewers in Europe, the temple’s monks continue to grow grapes and make wine to this day. https://t.co/x3BUc7cKJi

The final stop on my field trip is the Mercian Katsunuma Winery in Yamanshi, a centre of wine-making in 🇯🇵.
Yamanshi wine 🍷 was among the first Japanese GIs included in our EU-Japan EPA - a great example of how our partnership promotes new tastes and protects old traditions. https://t.co/HIHqOESbjA

This afternoon I am concluding my High Level Mission to Japan 🇯🇵 with a visit to the beautiful Yamanashi district.
I look forward to learning more about Japanese farming – what we have in common and what we can learn from each other – as well as sampling some local cuisine. https://t.co/eHfbulzpVh

During my missions abroad, it is always a priority and a pleasure to meet with farmers and gain their perspectives from the ground.
Today I am meeting soybean farmers who cultivate Akebono Daizu (a highly sought-after variety of edamame bean) at the feet of Mount Fuji. https://t.co/OgEPplBljm

A good working breakfast with business leaders from the EU drinks sector, for whom Japan is a key market.
The EU exports around 1.5 million hectolitres of wine to 🇯🇵 every year, while whiskey & liqueur exports were worth €53.8 million & €48 million respectively last year. https://t.co/cVzliqY6C3
