日本内阁周五批准了一项大米政策的调整，转向以需求为导向的生产，并引入了预防短缺的措施，此前这种主食的价格近年来出现飙升。
高市早苗首相政府计划向国会提交一份法案，旨在修订关于稳定主食供需和价格的法律。此举推翻了前任石破茂推动扩大生产和出口以降低价格的政策。修订后的法律要求食品企业定期报告大米库存，并强制大型私营企业设立储备，以充实政府库存。
短缺的部分原因在于政府对分销和供需前景的把握不足。其他因素还包括高温对供应的影响以及入境游客带来的需求增加。尽管政府数据显示5公斤袋装米的价格近期趋向于4000日元以下，但这一时期仍被称为“令和米荒”，导致价格剧烈波动。
在出现短缺时，政府将发布警告或点名批评不合规的企业。据《日本时报》报道，修订后的法律明确提倡按需生产，以防止因供过于求导致的价格下跌。
