BACKGROUND OF FARMING IN JAPAN

Farm lands in Japan are relatively small when compared to North America or Australia mainly because, Japan simply doesn't have the same land mass. In turn, there are a large amount of small family run farms in Japan that have been inherited and taken care of generation after generation.

An aging society is another factor that Japanese manufactures take into consideration when they are designing farm equipment. The aging population especially in the agriculture sector is a serious problem. The majority of farmers here are aged 65 and up. Other issues the Japanese farming sector is subject to are labor shortages, long hours and hard work. The younger generation in Japan are not that eager to take up farming because of the difficult situations such as high labor cost, unstable manpower and unpredictable work that's dependent on the weather.

In order to solve these problems, Japanese farm equipment is designed to be compact and functional as we've mentioned above.

OUR MISSION

In recent years, small Japanese farming has been attracting attention from all over the world. Small farmers have the same needs as Japanese farmers (which we've mentioned earlier). The characteristics of Japanese farm equipment are designed to perfectly meet the demands of farmers in every country. This is one of the many reasons why Social Media like YouTube have been drawing attention to Japanese farm equipment.

We would like to be available to provide Japanese farm equipment to small farmers around the world, as well as dedicate ourselves to global agriculture.

“We would love to share our unique Japanese equipment with the world to help improve your farm.”

This is our mission and passion. This is why we started the Japan Agri Trading online store.

ABOUT JAPAN AGRI TRADING

Japanese farm equipment is known the world over for having outstanding performance and originality. Already many foreign farmers are using Japanese farm equipment and machinery. However, there isn't any other integrated online store where you can easily buy Japanese farm equipment instantly from around the world.

It's a big process to export items from Japan to outside countries. For example, preparing export documents, arranging deliveries, as well as answering the questions of farmers all around the world about numerous different crops. The processes varies according to the products, price and packaging size. Furthermore, it's difficult to support foreign customers from a distance.

Considering such difficulties, most of the E-commerce companies hesitate to take such risks to initiate an online store to sell farming equipment and supplies internationally.

Why did we start Japan Agri Trading Online store then? We simply think "We would love to share our unique Japanese equipment with the world to help improve your farm." We started our business as a small shop a long time ago. We have been challenging and expanding our business by taking risks and accepting changes. This led us to start up our Japan Agri Trading online store.

Where do we see ourselves in 10 years? How do we wish to participate and exceed in the world agriculture market? These questions brought us to the international farm equipment online store, Japan Agri Trading.
