We have commissioned the cooperation project with Nikkei farmers in Latin America which is led by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), for 12 years including the predecessor projects. In this year, for the first time since the pandemic, we invite 28 Nikkei farmers to Japan, and deliver 3 training programs and the Latin American agribusiness negotiation meeting with Japanese companies. We also plan to organize a business mission program which Japanese companies visit Latin America for the further business creation between Japan and Latin American countries. In this project, Nikkei farmers from Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, and also Colombia and Mexico participate in.

These projects realized so far

– Delivered training programs in Japan for Nikkei farmers with the theme of agricultural production, processing and sales

– Held various conferences and webinars to strengthen the business cooperation between Japan and Latin America, and also among Latin American countries. 

– Organized business matching meetings (Online and Site-visit) for Japanese companies and Nikkei farmers, and launched a trading platform “Latin America Trading Platform”. 

We will continue to make a strong contribution with the business cooperation between Japan and Nikkei farmers in Latin America.
