Japanese politician calls government rice reserves "animal feed" causing controversy

Golden Ten Data on May 31, when the Japanese government put rice reserves on the market in order to stabilize the soaring rice prices, Yuichiro Tamaki, leader of the opposition National Democratic Party, said that the government's reserve rice has been stored for too long, "and it will be animal feed in another year." The remarks sparked widespread criticism from the public and politicians. In the face of the pressure of public opinion, the secretary general of the National Democratic Party, Hakuba Katsu, also apologized on the 30th for Yuichiro Tamaki's remarks.
