Agriculture IoT means using connected sensors, devices, software platforms, and analytics to monitor, automate, and optimize agricultural activities by collecting real, time data and making smart decisions. Japan's Agriculture IoT application covers precision farming, animal husbandry monitoring, smart greenhouses, seafood farming management, irrigation control, soil monitoring, and machinery tracking to increase the productivity and performance of the farm. Farmers' shortage, the aging of farmers, and the necessity to improve the stability of yields and the efficient use of resources drive the market adoption.
Technological innovations in Japan's agriculture IoT market are extremely diversified and include, among other things, sensor systems and farm management platforms that utilize the cloud, AI, enabled analytics, GPS, guided machinery, robotics integration, and improved cellular and LPWAN connectivity in rural areas. The government of Japan is fully committed to supporting farmers and local producers thus facilitating the development and application of smart farming technologies. Its ministry of agriculture, forestry and fisheries run a series of led initiatives. One is the smart agriculture demonstration project that is implemented in 217 districts throughout the country. Another is the law for promoting the use of smart agriculture technology that allows certification and speeds up the deployment of IoT, based agricultural solutions. The future opportunities involve development of scalable IoT platforms for small and medium, sized farms, AI, driven decision, support systems, autonomous farming technologies, and export, oriented agri tech development which is why the agriculture IoT is going to be the core pillar of Japan's agricultural modernization and food security.
