Strawberry farm

Tochigi has Japan's most volume of production of the strawberry.
I visited the big strawberry farmhouse.
Their sales amount seems to be 120 million yen. 
These are strawberry cultivation plastic greenhouses.
He is an owner.
He produces strawberries in 49 cultivation houses similar to this.
The name of the strawberry is Tochi-Otome.
It is very large and very sweet.

The length is about 80m.

A meeting of the study for future agriculture in Tochigi.



The Japanese agriculture has a lot of problems now.
It is the lowness of the Japanese self-sufficient rate of food,
the lowness of the income of the agriculturalist, the aging of the agriculturalist, lack of successor.
We established a meeting for the study for Japanese agriculture
to succeed as business in the future.
About 50 farmhouses, a person of commerce and industry, a public employee, researchers gathered in an open establishment general meeting and the commemorative party yesterday.
We hope that business model of new agriculture is created by this society for the study.
