“Time-saving machines that also offer environmental protection will be in demand”
For the past decade, we have been noting an increasing number of Japanese farm professionals attending Agritechnica. There is a strong interest in the smart farming solutions in particular. At the trade far, the whole industry is presenting time-saving and labour-reducing solutions and many of these are relevant to Japan’s situation,” says Angelina Laas, Area Manager for Asia, Agritechnica.
Today’s average age of the Japanese farmer is over 66 and there is a shortage of workers[A1] in the agriculture industry. Automated and digitized solutions in agriculture like farm robots for small farms and automated water managed systems operated remotely can play a significant contribution in overcoming not only the future’s shortage of workers while increasing yield, especially since agricultural areas are limited. “Time-saving machinery that also offer environment protection will be in demand for Japanese farmers visiting Agritechnica,” adds Laas.
