据日本农林水产省周二发布的数据，截至5月底，日本农业协同组合（JA）2025年产稻米对批发商的销量仅为132万吨，创下历史新低，同比下降17%。这一降幅反映了市场对价格更低廉的库存米和进口米的需求正在增长。
传统的流通渠道仅处理了2025年收获稻米总量不到一半的部分。截至5月底，民间库存量增长了51%，达到223万吨，已接近2014年的历史最高水平。
自政府去年开始释放库存米以来，零售价格有所回落。在截至6月21日的一周内，5公斤装大米的平均价格已降至3590日元，低于2025年12月下旬4416日元的峰值。
日本农林水产省曾在3月预测，到6月底库存量将达到234万吨。目前的最新数据仍超过了180万至200万吨的建议库存水平。
