# [New Paddy Policy] Feed Rice Support Up to 90,000 Yen; Multi-Yield Varieties, Direct Seeding Among Requirements; Commercial Use 10,000 Yen

> Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is reportedly moving to set the standard support rate for feed rice at up to 90,000 yen per 10 ares under a new paddy policy, based on average regional yields. Farmers growing high-yielding varieties and using direct seeding would be among those eligible.

## Why it matters

A higher subsidy for feed rice encourages Japanese farmers to plant more feed rice instead of table rice, which could lift domestic feed-grain supply and modestly ease reliance on imported corn and feed inputs for livestock buyers.
