Currently, rice cultivation within the Okinawa main island is carried out only in a limited area, and the Yasu district of Onna village is one of them. Other areas within the village switched to field cultivation in the 1960s, but in the Yasutomi district, rice cultivation in paddy fields is protected by local farmers. It has been affected by the aging of farmers and a decrease in acreage, etc., but awareness of “afuso rice” has increased in recent years. I will introduce rice cultivation in Yasutomi Ward and its efforts.
