I took a peek at "Agri Business Japan" which was held at the International Exhibition Center in Tokyo. Approximately 160 offices in Japan and overseas are exhibited. The exhibits of agricultural workers were surprisingly small, and many of them were exhibited in home appliances, materials, plant manufacturers and facility horticulture. Most of the plants produced there are leafy vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes and strawberries. Cultivation technology is seen as a trace of constantly evolving, but the biggest challenge is still profitability of the producer side. It is very limited to be established as a business.
● Plant factories that do not spread. This plant plant is a policy that has a subsidy of 15 billion yen in 2009, which is an extension of the plant plant by the reform of farmland law and the spread and expansion of plants by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. At the start of the plant there are about 50 plants (almost wiped out). After that, the interest in plant factories has been reignited as a means of recovery for farmers affected by the damage caused by the tsunami of farmland caused by the 2011 great East Japan earthquake. In 2013, 177 houses (most of them fully artificial light type), especially new entrants from different industries such as manufacturing industries, have increased. In this context, the development of "technology cultivation, equipment)", "establishment of production management method", "cost (initial cost of cultivation facilities, equipment, etc., utility costs, labor costs, running cost such as logistics costs) reduction" It is said that it is because the soil that the business person other than agriculture is entering enters. However, it is said that the success stories of plant factories are less than 10%.
