The first food riots broke out at Cerignola in southern Italy as early as January 1941; during the summer of 1941 the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests hesitated over the introduction of rationing for fear of the public outcry; and when rationing was introduced in October 1941 it covered less than 8 per cent of the nation's dietary needs. One of the reasons for the food shortages was a 25 per cent decline in agricultural production by 1943, caused by labour shortages and reduced supplies of fertilizer (also partly due to labour shortages); and the incompetence of the regime can be seen in its failure to establish any meaningful control of the labour market.(Erratum: doi:10.1111/1468-229X.13139, Retraction Watch)

Japanese censors did not allow the news media to show Japanese injuries and casualties or other pictures that weakened the motivation to fight. Some journalists who wrote stories that the censors didn't like were physically tortured for three-month periods or imprisoned for a year without being allowed to take showers.
