据悉，为了抑制大米过剩、维持米价稳定，日本政府长期以来实行大米减产政策。去年夏天，受极端高温致大米歉收等因素影响，日本大米价格大幅上涨。 去年8月，气象部门发布日本东部太平洋南海海槽发生大地震可能性增高的警示，引发民众囤米潮，日本一度出现"米荒"。 （央视财经《第一时间》）据日本媒体报道，日本政府于5日在首相官邸召开了有关确保大米稳定供应的会议，基本敲定大米政策将转向增产。 在5日傍晚召开的阁僚会议上，围绕大米政策，日本首相石破茂表示，由于未能准确预测需求，产量不足，从而引发了大米价格高涨。政府将从2027年起全 面转向大米增产政策，全力推动大米出口。 日本农林水产省5日发布的数据显示，7月21日至27日这一周，日本超市5公斤装大米平均售价为3625日元（约合人民币177元），比前一周有所增长。现阶 段，日本新米价格走向尚不明朗。 为了应对米价持续上涨，日本政府自今年3月以来已多次投放政府储备米。而近期日本遭遇高温天气，降水量较往年同期大幅减少，多地严重缺水。受此影 响，部分地区水库蓄水量告急，水稻长势缓慢，新米收成面临危机。有日本媒体称，酷暑天气对今年新米价格的影响令人担忧。 转载请注明央视财经 编辑：潘煦 ...
