・Set up demonstration farms in order to display Japanʼs excellent agricultural technologies as a package.
・Truly Win-Win project; to improve agricultural productivity and food safety in developing countries with supporting Japanese companies to foray into overseas markets. Suggest
the way to solve the food shortage caused by increase of world population.
・ In 2019, cucumbers and cabbages were cultivated in the state of Gujarat, India with 13 excellent Japanese companies. Highly appreciated with quality of produces andproviding local people learning and job opportunities.

Sheet-pipe System (SPS)

Kyouwa Corporation

Improving drainage management of farmlands by laying a special drainage
pipe (Sheet-pipe) directly underground without excavating the soil using a
dedicated heavy machine (MOLE DRAINER).

Sheet-pipe （Material）
lHigh-Density Polyethylene.
Resistant to acid, alkali,
weather, and shock

firstly developed in the world in the commercial scale
production using natural materials in forests. In contrast,fulvic acid is a natural resource which is normallyavailable in very small quantities in nature and is normallyfound in humus.
• Fujimin® is defined as “soil amendments” and also “plantgrowth biostimulant” because it promotes taking theessential minerals for photosynthesis, such as Fe2+,Mg2+, into plant cell, in addition to the soil condition
improvement.
• Fujimin® is certified “the accreditation of Organic JAS(Japanese Agricultural Standards)”.

Application Cases of “Fujimin®”Tomato (Paraguay)

Fujimin ® promoted the growth of plants much faster.

The average yield was 2.9 tons / ha since the field was extremely acidic (pH4).
Then, Fujimin® was sprayed the next year and the yield became 4.3 ton / ha.
4.3tons/ha ÷ 2.9tons/ha ＝ Increased by 1.5 times
