Objective

As part of the Japanese government's ODA project (government development assistance), agricultural youths from ASEAN countries, etc.

will acquire Japanese-style production technology through agricultural training that combines practice at Japanese farmers and specialized education at agricultural education institutions, as well as food.

By acquiring the knowledge and know-how to improve the added value that is indispensable for building a value chain, we aim to contribute to the development of domestic agriculture and to develop human resources who can be a bridge with Japan.

During the first two weeks after entering Japan, all trainees will have an orientation.

After the reception ceremony, the trainees will take a Japanese language class and a lecture on agriculture. In addition, this training will also cultivate the attitude of the training life, such as the way of thinking and approach when living and working in rural Japan.

Immediately after completing the basic training, each trainee will be assigned to farmers all over the country and the farmer training will begin.

You can study at farms of various occupations that meet the trainees' wishes, such as vegetables, fruit trees, dairy and livestock.

By living and working with the farmer, you can learn not only agricultural technology but also advanced management technology.

About three months have passed since I was assigned to a farmer, and when the trainees have become accustomed to work, the trainees will gather in one place again and group training will be held.

Although it is a short training of about 10 days, lectures centered on the department are given, and by interacting with trainees working at other farms, various Japanese agriculture can be experienced.

It's an opportunity to learn.

The trainees of this project are accepted by many farmers nationwide, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south.

Farmer training is an opportunity for trainees to learn about agricultural technology and Japanese culture, and it is also a grassroots international exchange place for host farmers to come into contact with the culture of other countries.

We are looking for new farmers who can accept trainees in the future.

We are also recruiting from prefectures other than those listed, so if you are interested, please see "6. Recruitment of Accepting Farmers".
