Story summary

Typhoon Dujuan caused severe damage to farms in Chiba prefecture, Japan, flooding rice paddies and farmland while also inundating fish cultivation facilities near Lake Imbanuma. The typhoon led to an estimated loss of at least US$550,000 across the farming, forestry, and fisheries sectors. Kenji Tani, who runs a carp farm in Narita, lost nearly all of his stock: about 100,000 Nishikigoi carp, with only 200 to 300 remaining after floodwaters swept the majority away. The loss occurred just before scheduled sales on Sunday were meant to begin, significantly impacting Tani’s business and the local fisheries sector.
