Farmer’s Honor: In Japan, fruits and vegetables grown by farmers are sold with their photos and names. This unique practice creates trust, transparency and respect for farmers among customers, which is completely different from the situation of farmers in India.
Farmers in India do not get the right price for their produce
We buy many things from shops. Most of the goods have all the information about the company that manufactures them. But in our country, farmers do not have information about who has grown anything, nor does he get the right price for it. Many times farmers sell their crops at throwaway prices or throw them on the road in despair. But there is a country where the fruits and vegetables grown by farmers get different respect. Yes, here fruits and vegetables are sold in packets and the name of the farmer is also there on that packet.
Japan printing photos of farmers on packets
Yes, this unique tradition exists in Japan. Japan is a small country that has always attracted the world for many reasons. Every method of the people there is worth adopting. Similarly, in many parts of Japan, fruits and vegetables are sold in packets bearing a photo and brief information about the farmer who grows them. This is especially common in supermarkets, local cooperatives, and farmers markets associated with Japan Agricultural Cooperatives (JA).
This process to give respect to farmers
The motive behind putting photographs of farmers on their products is trust, respect and transparency. Japanese consumers place great importance on knowing where their food comes from. Seeing the face and name of the farmer increases confidence in the quality and safety of the product. It is also a sign of appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the farmers. Farming is viewed with great respect in Japan and this small task creates a human relationship between growers and customers.
This practice also makes it easier to trace things. If a problem occurs with the product, its source can be traced immediately. This ensures accountability. Additionally, it gives a personal touch to the food market, making shoppers feel more connected to what they are eating.
You’ll often see this method used for high-quality or specialty products like strawberries, watermelon, and apples, where presentation and authenticity matter. This combination of transparency, trust and respect for craftsmanship helps make Japanese farming one of the most admired in the world. This thoughtfully designed tradition reflects Japan’s cultural expression of honesty, gratitude, and community in everyday life. This has been posted on the pagez Instagram page, on which many people have appealed to implement a similar rule in India also.
