A number of relevant sources revealed that the Japanese government is coordinating research on a plan to grant subsidies equivalent to 5.4% of sales without tax to small and medium-sized farmers whose income has decreased due to the reduction of the consumption tax rate on food products from 8% to 1% starting April 2027.
