What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Prolonged rainfall, combined with heavy rain from Typhoon No. 25, has caused crop damage and supply disruptions across Japan. Persistent rain in Chiba Prefecture flooded sweet potato fields, preventing retailers from securing sufficient supplies. As a result, deliveries of vegetables, including leafy greens, have declined in Tokyo because farms in neighboring prefectures are affected.
