Support for Entry Into Farming

With the aim to achieve revitalization of regional agriculture along the coast of Fukushima Prefecture (in the innovation regions), we provide support in conjunction with the prefecture, municipalities in the prefecture, relevant institutions, and regional operators of agricultural businesses to those who are interested in entering the agricultural industry.

Primary initiatives of the Innovation Framework

To provide referential information for businesses and other entities who are considering entering agriculture, the Innovation Framework offers on-site tours, seminars about entering agriculture, consultations about entry, individual on-site tours, and other related information. The framework also provides subsidies for the expenses required for surveys and tests necessary for businesses and other entitles to enter or solidify their businesses in agriculture and for the expansion of the management of their agricultural bushiness. In order for businesses who have entered the innovation regions to achieve continuous management and stable production, the framework also provides on-site support, participates in business meetings, and publishes information on the framework’s website.
