Japanese agricultural sector is facing several risks such as "the aging farming population", "theshortage of successors", "the increasing abandoned farmland" and "low profitability ". Japanesegovernment and farmers have been deploying various efforts to eliminate these risks such as changingThe Agricultural Land Act and investing Infrastructure investment. There are cases of improving sales byconstructing new irrigation facilities and developing means of transportation and sales channels.
