Due to the intense heat and lack of rain during the summer, the "Shintaka" jumbo pear, a specialty of Arao City, is suffering from a serious "burn" problem, where the skin discolors and the fruit softens. According to the JA Tamana Arao Pear Growers' Association, it is estimated that nearly 300 tons, or 40% of the total production, are discarded every year, and the damage to the 2026 crop is projected to be severe.
