Key Field: Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries

In the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors, we are promoting the autonomous and sustainable development of local industries by leveraging ICT (Information and Communication Technology), supporting corporate entry, promoting labor-saving measures, and securing new human resources.

Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Initiatives

In agriculture, we are accelerating the early resumption of farming throughout the region and promoting the formation of regional production centers through the effective utilization of smart agriculture technology and corporate participation in collaboration with local communities.
In forestry, we are supporting improvements in profitability and forest management by promoting labor-saving practices and operational efficiency through the introduction of high-performance forestry machinery, the establishment of ICT-based production systems, and the advancement of wood processing technologies.
In fisheries, we are promoting the development of higher value-added products through the demonstration and implementation of ICT-based operational support technologies and seed release methods, as well as quality assessment of marine products using cutting-edge technologies.

Specific Examples of Initiatives

Agriculture
JA Agri-Support Futaba Co., Ltd. is working to establish large-scale diversified farming operations combining paddy rice, broccoli, and green onions by introducing advanced technologies such as broccoli harvesters, simplified green onion transplanters, and subsurface drip irrigation systems to enhance operational efficiency and reduce labor requirements.
Project Name: Fukushima Prefecture Farming Resumption Support Project
