How precision farming can fill rice bowls
Limited amount of arable land, ambitious political commitments for more sustainable farming, an aging workforce… With Japanese agriculture facing so many challenges, digital solutions have not only become a valuable aid, but also essential.

A tailored version of xarvio® FIELD MANAGER was launched in Japan in March 2021 to meet the needs of Japanese farmers.
